What am I doing in Japan?

My darling friend Kissa sent me this photo she took of an ad at a Tokyo MRT station. She said at first glance, she thought I was the leftmost girl. My husband and I (and not a few of our friends) are as shocked as Kissa when she saw this pic.
OMG! Someone out there looks exactly like me. Except she looks like she's a fan of slimming pills and she's a model and she likes hugging and touching women. Scandal indeed!

UPDATE: Fellow blogger tHiAmErE just told me Scandal is a Japanese TV show very similar to Desperate Housewives. And that the girl who looks like me is Kazue Fukuiishi. I googled her and, nope, we look nothing alike. Just that one pose on that particular poster. Relief! Thanks, tHiAmErE!

11 just had to say:

LOL She does look like you!!! But you are pretty yourself and I like it that you don't like hugging and touching women! :) Happy weekend!

haha
lol at the touching & hugging as a scandal

That poster is from the japanese TV series Scandal. I used to watch it before but for some reason i stopped. I have to say that it's a little bit like Desperate housewives... If im not mistaken the woman on the left is Kazue Fukiishi..
now that you showed me the poster again, i'll be watching it again
^_^

but on that poster you do look alike! pretty!

Ohh!!! this one just validated my theory! :) we do have a doppelganger living somewhere in the world. but my theory also involves about that person doing the same stuff as you. so imagine her having a bunny for a baby and a huge DIY clock on her wall. scary!!

You're in Japan! LOL. I agree, you two look alike and frankly, you could definitely be a model yourself :)

The NeuroChiq said...

LOL, you really look like her! Now, have you thought of being a model/actress, too? =)

Frances said...

NeuroChiq, no, it never crossed my mind to be an actress/model! I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the attention--I'm a behind-the-scenes kinda girl =)
