Nancy Pelosi and Casey Anthony

I was watching Nancy Pelosi speak the other night, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. She looks like Casey Anthony. Casey Anthony looks like Pelosi must have looked when she was young.

Now granted, while I suspect they share similar personality traits and similar personalities, I do think that mental illness, which I suspect Casey suffers from, likely affects her in ways that wouldn't affect Nancy Pelosi.

I have learned through doing face reviews that mental illness, such as anti-social personality disorder and others, cannot be discerned from the face alone. People who suffer these illnesses while they will still have their baseline personality, will act out of the bounds of what would be normal for them.

Totally Looks Like...

There is a cool website a friend pointed me to today knowing my interest in faces.

It's called "Totally Looks Like.com"













Wouldn't this be fun to delve into?! Check it out...

TV Anchor Resembles Palin Gets Harassed

Here is an interesting article about a news reporter from Maine who supposedly looks like Sarah Palin. Cindy Michaels is getting hate mail and nasty phone calls from people who think she is supporting Palin.

The First 20 Readings are Complete!

Well, I am marking a milestone today that the first 20 readings are complete, and the results have been so amazing. Even I, myself, didn't expect them to be what they are. After the first 20 people have finished the process (with a few still straggling behind to finish their replies), my average score at reading people is just a tad bit aoove 90% accuracy!

Woohoo! I am quite shocked by this. I anticipated an 80% accuracy rate. It's changing my paradigm, that's for sure.

Did you know people's faces could reveal so much?

I have to say I didn't think I could see people's professional interests, but somehow I do. I don't know if I connect it to other faces that have done the same jobs in the past, or what. But I've pointed out that one woman likely had an interest in children and nursing and guess what? She wants to be a delivery nurse. In another man, I saw he would likely succeed in sales because of his personality attributes, and he told me works in sales in the insurance industry.

Another woman had the face of someone who liked to entertain. She was an A-type personality, outgoing, social, gergarious and she told me she worked for 2 years as an event planner!

I can't help but wonder if what I do is what psychics do, but I know I am not psychic. I am just reading body language, facial expression and connection facial features to people I have known in the past. It's nothing magical, though I think I have a fine-tuned brain for matching similiarities in features.

I hope you'll come along on this journey with me and participate. I think it will be very exciting as we move forward!

What Do I Have to Fear?

When I first considered sending her an email, it was not without trepidation. Would she be able to see into the dark recess of my soul? What would she see? Would she see sins that I had forgotten existed? She could read people. But how much? Was I doomed to stand in front of Hades and be judged. Hades with his eyes glowing red and my heart open for inspection. Ooh, look at what is written on page 1352! You sir, ought to be ashamed! And hellfire follows after.

Would she see me emotionally naked? I thought about that strange type of dream I used to have in high school. Perhaps you have had such a dream. In the dream, I would jump out of bed, grab my breakfast, and jump into the car, heading to school. Slowly winding through the orchard roads, gulping down breakfast while sis plays with the radio and pretends not to notice our tardiness. Parking and grabbing my stuff, I hurry to class. Sitting down, I notice the teacher staring at me. Suzy, to my right, is staring. Everybody is staring. Why are they staring? What is wrong? Trying to not arouse suspicion, I slowly look down to see if my fly is undone. Nope. My fly is not undone. I haven't got a fly. Why not? I forgot to put on my trousers. I forgot to put on any clothes at all. I am naked! There I am with everybody staring at me. The door leads to the hall, which runs through the entire school. The only reasonable choice is to go out the window! The class watches the mad dash. Once outside, I realize that it is the second floor. One cannot climb down and going back into the classroom is unthinkable. Mercifully, one typically wakes up by then.

Emotionally naked. She could see all. Back to the classroom you go lad. Only now, it would be real. Would she see my private thoughts and inner feelings? Please leave your privacy at the door.

But the curiosity! I was so very curious! What new worlds awaited me if I could get to know her? Surely her insight has revealed more than a few mysteries. Would she share?

What would it be like to read emotions? I had to know. Could she watch movies? The actors are all pretending. What about stories? What if she did not like my stories? What if she thought the Odyssey was silly? What if she thought Bilbo Baggins was unrealistic? What about the motivations of Tom Sayer and Huck Finn? Could I do that to Odysseus, Bilbo, Tom, and Huck?

In the end, curiosity won the day.

I took comfort in one fact. She could not see my face in an email. She was without the ability to look into my eyes and see my personality in my face alone. Maybe if I just asked her a few questions... Maybe one could peer into the depths and keep his fig leaf.

So I wrote her an email.

She replied and, despite my worries, she was pleasant, even nice. She was friendly and even seemed happy to answer my questions, speculate, and tell me about myself. "No," she said, "You are the person who makes it seem so. You want to believe, therefore, you struggle with this perception." I knew she was right without having to think about it.

We exchanged a few emails and she seemed genuinely curious about me also. She did not want to know my sins, but she did want to know me. I had peered into the depths and kept my fig leaf, and we had the beginning of a beautify friendship!

Oh, but she eventually asked for a picture. I briefly considered sending her a picture of someone else. Would she know? She was my friend. Besides, who would be better than me? What if the person whose picture I sent turned out to be an evil overlord? What if he liked to lick the chalk lines from the grass just to make cheerleaders cry at football games? I don't care what they say! I am not so bad. At least I am better than the chalk licker!

I sent her a picture of myself. I smiled. She loved it. She wrote all kinds of nice things and never mentioned any evil overlord or chalk-liking tenancies.

She has become a source of inspiration. She looked at my face and all was well. She has been a friend. She has been a coach. I even started to forget about her gifts. Every once in a while, she would ask me a question that would make me start.................................. Indeed, one of these questions led us to talking about creating this site. It was mostly her idea. All I did was show up, but it was a part.

Being emotionally naked turns out to be bit relaxing, soothing, and invigorating. Far from being a source of stress and worry, it is a source of happiness. We all want to be understood. And we all put on our masks to make ourselves a little more acceptable. Would it not be great to forget all that for a time?

It has been so for me! Indeed, she has inspired me to try for this in all my relationships.

You should try it sometime.

Oh, and send her three pictures, it is a hoot.

Similar Faces: Similar People

The Bachelor has started a new season again, and I am always up for being a voyer when the opportunity pressents itself. I love to watch people interact. While I am not so much a fan of the show anymore, I am still a fan of human behavior so I tune in.

This year, one of the bachlorettes is a woman by the name of Ashlee. She bears an incredible resemblence to Giada De Laurentis, the chef from Food TV's Everyday Italian!

Seeing Ashlee, it's like getting a window into the past of what Giada must have been like at the tender age of 22.

Check it out. You can only assume these two have a lot more in common that just looks!

One Face Reminds Me of Another

When I attempt to understand people around me, I look for similar facial features.

Take the well-known faces of Mark Walberg to Michael Chiarello. Mark hosts a lot of TV game shows. Michael is a chef of Food TV.

One night I was watching a show hosted by Mark, and in my mind's eye Michael flashed before me. I immediately made the connection that these two likely share similar personality traits because they look alike: a lot alike!

These two men share similarities that I bet would likely surprise even them.

We know right away:

• both have been drawn to doing TV shows, first and foremost
• both are outgoing, and social creatures who obviously enjoy the spotlight
• both are extroverts
• both are driven individuals who have vision of what success is for them
• both take pride in their looks--appearance is quite important to them
• Each man hits me as a little anal retentive--liking things just his way.
• These men are likely strong-minded, determined and goal-oriented.
• I can speculate details matter to both of them.
• Both enjoy the luxuries life offers (or they wouldn't strive for their success like they do).

Unfortunately, I don't know either of these men that well so I can't elaborate more, but you get the idea!

I've asked other people to match similar facial features for me, and when they do, ironically, I am often not able to draw the same conclusions, and I don't know why. It's like my mind has to do it for me, and it often does it without any thought from me. When I see one face, it often just triggers memories of other faces I've known in the past. I think that may be a unique trait of mine. I never sit there and say, "Who does he or she remind me of?" The face appears before I even think about it. Do you relate?

Do you know two people who look alike? Share it with me, and I'll tell you if I see the similarities as well.

The Experiment: 7 out 100 Finished

Well, the experiment has kicked off, and whoever signs-up next will be Subject 8.

I had a great start, but after I did good with the first several subjects, I think I freaked out a bit. I was rather shocked by my own accuracy, and that in turn made me fear myself.

I started to wonder could I keep up with my new track record. Was this real, or is it just plain luck?

I tend to believe I am on to something, but it will take time to see how this all plays out.

It's just scary at times to put yourself out there like this, knowing you could fail. But without failure, we never grow and learn, nor do we reach our full potential--so I am giving this my all!

Today I added scores of all the participants on my website (there is a graphic link on the home page). I figured this would be good for multiple reasons. I am sure, you my readers, will find it interesting to watch as this experiment progresses--first and foremost.

But I also think it will be good for me to keep my perspective. I tend to be really hard on myself when I don't score so well, and I didn't score so well on the last two. Seeing the big picture helps meI have speculated as to why I didn't do good on the last two, but I want to give it more time to see if the pattern repeats.

I will try to get a few more subject profile/reviews up in the coming week so check back to see them. I don't think I will post all subjects as it is time consuming, but I will update and change them from time-to-time, and I will keep scores of all subjects posted at all times.

If you participate and want to know your subject number, I will be happy to share it with you! Just let me know.

What does your face say?

Have you ever wondered, what does your face say to other people?

Do you think your face reveal attributes to your personality?

What if by looking at a person or a photo, you could identify if a person is an introvert or an extrovert, if a person prefers details or want to see the big picture, if they are fast paced or prefer life much more relaxed?

Do you believe it is possible?

I do.

It wasn't until I participated in a study a few years ago that I found out that my ability to understand other people by simply looking at their face was unusual. I thought all people did it. So, since finding this out, I have been testing it casually with strangers I meet, and I have had great fun at sharing this with others. It's fun to watch people respond to what I see.

I am looking for people who are interested to test this theory out with a larger size sample of the population. I would like to review photos from 100 people and see how accurate of a window our faces are to revealing our soul.

I would like to test the limits of my ability by working with complete strangers who I have never met. I am looking for total, honest strangers to participate.
