what's in a name...

Okay so you know when someone comes up to you and says "oh you totally look like..., or you really remind me of..." well what are they really getting at when they say that are they simply talking about your looks or are you comparing the "entire package." I have recently been compared to the shy and innocent Alexis Bledel who plays Rori from Gilmore Girls, as well as, the gold digging alcoholic Megan Mullaly from Will & Grace. Now i am not necessarily the smartest person out there but i can tell that there is a significant difference between these two women. Yet i am supposable a combination of them both. How can that be? Can one woman possess traits of coy shyness and alduterated sexuality and aggression? Or is this really just about the looks...you decide.
