Baby-Celebrity Looky-Likey Competition

Looky-Likey Contest

Baby Annie and her Looky-Likey Jim Gaffigan

In honor of the 4th of July (and also having nothing to do with the 4th of July whatsoever), A Mothership Down is kicking off the first ever Baby/Celebrity Looky-Likey Competition!

This is the sort of thing that bloggers do when they’re becoming serious artists. They hold look-a-like contests. It’s the blogging equivalent of working as an Elvis impersonator at your local Knights of Columbus fundraiser.

Anyway, as we bounced this idea off of ourselves, Nolan’s enthusiasm mounted. He began asking me to do side by side images of himself and Alyssa Milano, but I said “Nolan, that’s not realistic.” Sometimes you have to be honest with your baby.

Nolan and Alyssa

This is an example of a non looky-likey. It is the product of a delusional baby and a mother with access to Google Images.

So, parents, have an honest talk with your babies (older children are fine too!) and mutually decide upon the closest resemblance you can come up with.

Email me at amothershipdown@gmail.com with a photo (attached to the email) of your child and an attached image of their celebrity look-alike, along with the names of both the child and celebrity (in case it’s someone obscure, like Justin Timberlake).

Also – to answer a question that has already come up – baby photos of yourself as a child are fine too! I am very flexible on this. Which is good because at yoga, not so flexible.

We’ll see what we come up with during the course of the week, and the best submissions will be featured on the blog! If we get enough good ones we can vote on the winner! There may even be a prize, who’s to say really.

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Liz & Nolan

    This is a fabulous idea! Now if I only had a baby or toddler I can enter in this contest. Can I borrow a child from my sister’s :)?

      Um, you can 100% borrow your sister’s child. Just get her permission or I cannot offer you legal protection.

        Of course, permission is needed. She will be the one choosing the pics with me. Although, tempting to do this behind her back; didn’t cross my mind.

    Since you always wanted to look like Alyssa Milano it seems only right that you shared that aspiration with Nolie. Any questions about gender identity here?

      Haha, exactly mom. It’s a family love affair with Alyssa Milano.

      Deadline is next Wednesday! Just made that up. But I think that sounds reasonable. The entries are already rolling in!

    Darn, I was the “spitting image” of Raquel Welch, when I was a mere slip of a girl. Double darn, don’t think I can find the pics though. Must have gotten lost during my last move. (I have my legs crossed while I type this, so this little fib won’t land me in h-e-double hockey sticks.) This post brought out the kid in me. For you young folks who don’t know Raquel Welch, imagine an aging Scarlett Johansson. Yes, she and I are that beautiful and sexy.

      Lynda, I really hope you can dig up some photos. The success of this competition depends on it!

    Can’t wait to see some of these. Us mothers always have and in my case, always had, inflated opinions of our babies.

      Anne, we are getting some doozies over here! Who knew there were so many baby/celebrity look-a-likes! Not me, that’s for sure.

    I did a quick Google search of blond, blue-eyed celebrity men and the only one that looks remotely like C is Wayne Rooney. To be fair, he DOES kind of look like a tall toddler. Hopefully C will continue on his path of appearing age-appropriate.

      Good for you C! Looking like the baby that you are. Nolan has looked like a middle aged man from the get-go.
