Doppelgänger is German for double walker. It can mean ghostly double, as seen above. The word is also for two unrelated, living people sharing an uncanny resemblance, i.e. lookalikes. In my twenties, my sister found a picture of Tonya Harding and said I was her doppelgänger. Now that's scary. Do you resemble anyone famous (or infamous)?
Now for the "Name That Famous Product" game:
Oh, come on. That's easy!

Love that picture. I love spooky things. At first I thought your word was going to be daguerrotype. Those old images have a hollogram effect that seems to move when the viewer moves. But doppleganger is good too. And the product is Disney.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog as part of the A to Z challenge and I love the name or your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a doppelgänger, but most people I meet swear they know me or have met me before.
I don't know if I resemble anyone famous, but I'm always being told I look like someone that somebody knows. So I must have a dozen doppelgängers scattered around the country! That's a great picture. It looks like a seance from some old Victorian novel.
ReplyDeleteThe D is definitely Disney, but that's all I have. And I don't think I look like anybody famous - - although years ago people would tell me I looked like Lynda "Wonderwoman" Carter - - must have been the pointed steel bra I used to wear!
ReplyDeletecan't think of anyone at the moment that i resemble...maybe I'm more unique than I think!
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon, welcome to the show!
ReplyDeleteJudy, were you the one giving Madonna ideas?
Thanks for stopping by, everyone.
Okay, this is wierd. I had five comments two seconds ago, but two just vanished. Maybe google has ghosts today. (Or did I somehow press a delete command?) What the hey, google?
ReplyDeleteDisney!
ReplyDeleteI have a doppelganger that lives in the next town over. Not an exact match, but she has my long red hair and is very short.
I worked with one of mine which was very unnerving. I hate seeing myself in photographs so having a living, breathing double walking around was not fun! Doppleganger is, however, one of my all time favourite words. :-)
ReplyDeleteSpooky pic. No. I've never seen anyone that looks like me.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be Disney.

ReplyDeleteOooh good choice. Do you think everyone has a doppleganger?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Disney.
