Doppelganger
I have been working out with a trainer for a couple of weeks now, usually at The Castle Sports Club. It is really a great place, not crowded and the people are all friendly.
A couple of weeks ago, an older gentleman that everyone just calls "Colonel", told me that I reminded him of Ann-Margret. Yeah, I wish. I heard it once before and had the same reaction, she was an uber-babe in her heyday and is still pretty smokin' today, the only things we have in common are red hair and a Swedish bloodline.
The Colonel came up to me today and said he had wanted to be sure, so he Googled her and checked out the pictures. He definitely thought I looked like her. T, my trainer, said he didn't think I looked like her at all and was sure no one else would, either. So he started asking, and they all agreed with the Colonel. Even the guy who didn't know who she was (he was young) agreed once we named a few movies she was in.
As we were walking out down the hallway, he asked the guy at the desk if he thought I looked like a movie star. He said he wasn't sure, but when T said, "everyone in there is saying she looks like Ann-Margret" he said, "Yeah, I can see that" LOL
Of course, this was after my REALLY pathetic workout - I am such a wimp. So when T says, "Well what do ya' know, I have a celebrity client" I said, "If I was really Ann-Margret, even at her age, I could probably lift a lot more weight"
He comes back with, "That pretty much goes without saying"
