Oh Internet, what a bizarre 24 hours it has been!
Last night I got a tweet from Lou Draper asking if I was in the latest Hell Pizza TVC. At this point I freaked out worried the TVC had a crowd shot or something that I had been captured in. Incase you haven't heard Hell Pizza said some really dumb things about sexual assault in the last week. After checking the add I was glad to see it wasn't me but an actor who looks very similar... cue tweets and Facebook messages asking if it was me.
I posted the above still from the add on my Facebook page and thanks to the wonders of the internet a friend of a friend knew the actor. It turns out my doppelgänger is Miranda AKA beat maker Randa who I got to meet at Proud Mary briefly last month. Isn't the resemblance uncanny? Friends at PM remarked just how similar we looked but after seeing the Hell Pizza TVC I totally agree! Here is a pic for comparison:
So, in an attempt to figure out if Miranda and I share any other uncanny similarities we decided to answer a few random questions and compare answers:
Ideal Sunday afternoon?
Miranda: Music making, gummi worms, nerd documentary, pop album listening session & a cup of tea.
Aych: Drinking tea in the sun with friends, catching up on the internet and probably baking something delicious.
Favorite thing you own?
Miranda: Korg synth. Super fun!!
Aych: Glitter Litas in Slate.. SO sparkly!
Your best friend would describe you as ...
Miranda: ... a Honeysuckle Gangsta.
Aych: ... a sparkling little dinosaur.
If you won a million bucks you would ...
Miranda: ...open a taco stand, employ my friends, give away tacos to the hungry... and send some drum kits to skilled kids who cannot afford them.
Aych: ... open a 24 hour cafe in central Auckland filled with all my friends, awesome books and amazing food+coffee that you pay for by donation!
Miranda: M&Ms, (those Smarties are hella tasty though aye).
Aych: M&Ms, there is no other option!
I'm kind of weirded out! But I this is a pretty cool person to be mistaken for right?
