I Probably Shouldn't Do This

[rp2813]

But I can't help myself. Check out the link and tell me if the guy in the second one down doesn't bear a remarkable resemblance to a familiar face from a recent controversial thread.

LOL!

I thought he was just a squinty-eyed picture frame model. He talks!!!

Chuck

 

[appnut]

I don't care who he is, OMG!!!!! Moan!!!

Let's refresh our memory... Shall we?

[hooverwheelaway]

Aaaaaaaand...

Well then t'aint that somethin!!! It didnt click in my head until now. That aint right! I can see why he scampered off into the Brazilian Sunset with her tail between her legs when most of us figured out we smelt a rat...again. Well at least the guy does exist and he is North American. Unreal. Shred away because gawd knows if he rears his head again it wont be pretty.

They look similar but I don't think they're the same guy... one doesn't have a dimple in his chin that I can see.

???

Anyone care to sum up the end of that thread? I read it early on but it got too long and I didn't check back to see how it progressed, looks like it took a turn.

Ground Hog Day?

 

[polkanut]

Well now,

Ain't that somethin', huh?

 

[andrewinorlando]

Not the same guy...different nose. One has a dimple in his chin, the other doesn't. Looks similar, but not the same guy.

 

[toggleswitch2]

Shape of the head and jaw differ.

 

[peterh770]

But it would make one of those "separated at birth" postings...

 

[mistereric]

Also, the original guy was sepia toned, whereas the guy from the video is clearly in full color. They are also wearing different shirts.

(ducks and runs)

 

[autowasherfreak]

I probably shouldn't do this.

I agree you shouldn't have.

 

[toggleswitch2]

LOL the full-color guy has a bite and mouth such that he appears to have had orthodonture.........

 

[rp2813]

These model types can pull off some different looks depending on what the client or agent wants. I'm not saying it's the potential husband, but the resemblance was striking enough to solicit comments about it here.

Reminds me of when I was strolling Melrose Avenue many years ago and there inside the "Retail Slut" store was Cyndi Lauper trying on a jacket or something. Or so it appeared. One in our party said, "hey, it's good enough for me. I'm telling people I saw her on Melrose."

 

[nmaineman36]

The resemblance is uncanny. I kept looking at the color pic and the sepia tone one...you guys do know that airbrushing and photoshop does wonders. I have a feeling it is the same guy because too much looks alike.
And if it is true that our person in question is seeing this guy them more power to him....may he be on his back and heels to heaven with this one.

 

[rp2813]

Yeah Mike, I'm thinking along the same lines as you are regarding airbrushing and other techniques to tweak out a certain look. It's hard for me to think that we are talking about two different people here but I guess it's not entirely out of the question.

Perhaps the wedding was delayed due to this guy accepting a job in another hemisphere? Only his airbusher knows for sure.

 

[nmaineman36]

I agree rp....I keep looking and looking at the pic and thunk hmmm something aint quite right. And on top of that I wonder if this guy has a portfolio online like so many of these models do and the person in question just copied them and pasted. Its like on AOL or Manhunt...what you see is not what you get some times.
I just dont know why he had to go do this and put something like that out there knowing full well that we would figure it out...didnt take long to do either.
