I couldn't get it to work D.

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

You probably need to register... that's what I had to do. But don't worry, it's free.

I did register, but when it went to generate my image or whatever it does, the page came up blank.

Do I have to use photobucket maybe?

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

I don't think so. I used pictures from Photobucket and my personal "My Documents" folder. I'll check into it and see what the deal is.

a_perfect_circle1678 · Former Queen - Dethroned by Choice

Well I finally got this thing to work for me, & I came up a 62% match to Yoko Ono!

Thanks D! LMAO!

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

WTF? You're not even Asian!!

Yeah I know! And how about the second closet after Yoko was also an asian woman! WTF?

a_perfect_circle1678 · Former Queen - Dethroned by Choice

O.k., so here are the full results from two out of the three pics I have posted here on the forum. The one pic of me with my glasses on wouldn't work. It tarted the scan right out! LOL!

picture 1

Stan Laurel 63%
Yoko Ono 62%
Gabriel Garcia Marquez 62%
Choi Ji-Woo 58%
Anastacia 58%
Nick Cave 58%
Keira Knightley 57%
Harrison Ford 57%
Freeman Dyson 56%
Chen Yi 54%

picture 2

Ken Follett 74%
H.P. Lovecraft 70%
Kristen Kreuk 63%
Brandon Lee 63%
Jennifer Love Hewitt 62%
Francis Crick 61%
Kareena Kapoor 60%
Alanis Morissette 60%
Anastacia 59%
Sarah Jessica Parker 59%

Now, should I be offended because I got male matches too!? LOL! BTW D, I also tried one of Nic & he matched himself by 78%! LMAO!

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

You can set it to be all male, all female, or both. I actually left mine on both, and I think I got only one man and he was ranked at the bottom on my 1st picture. I'm intrigued that you were matched with so many Asian celebrities. How interesting. Let me do my pictures again and I'll tell you exactly what my matches were for each one.

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

OK, I'm really quite puzzled by how this works. The first results are as follows:

Brigitte Bardot 63%

Katie Holmes 58%

Celina Jaitley 57%

Natalie Wood 54%

Natalie Imbruglia 54%

Emma Watson 54%

Sinead O’ Connor 53%

Greta Garbo 52%

Rachael Leigh Cook 52%

Alfred Rosenberg 52%

The second picture gave me this:

Marilyn Monroe 63%

Lana Turner 61%

Meryl Streep 55%

Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) 54%

Gwen Stefani 49%

Jang Nara 47%

Spike Lee 46%

Diane Keaton 45%

Anatoly Karpov 45%

Dannii Minogue 45%

I underlined some of them because they are actually repeated in the findings of two other pictures I scanned but didn't completely record. The third picture gave me the following results:

Meryl Streep 66%

Julia Roberts 57%

Zsa Zsa Gabor 54%

Emily Browning 54%

Queen Rania 53%

Melanie Griffith 52%

Catherine Denueve 49%

Brandy 48%

Lana Turner 47%

Michelle Rodriguez 46%

Again, the underlined ones were repeated in other picture results. How weird. I'm mostly Caucasian, yet the program identified me with a few black, Middle Eastern and Hispanic celebrities. In one of the other findings, it listed Beyonce as #3. I have no idea where it's gathering this information, because I look nothing like any of these people.

Harold Pinter 63%

Joe Montana 62%

Rock Hudson 62%

John Irving 61%

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

It appears to take one photo and tries to match it with another... for both results, it brought up different pictures of Nic that resembled the one I plugged in (angle, lighting, etc.). This might explain why some of the celebrities I was matched with were actually photos of them wearing glasses (Meryl Streep, for example), when in fact they really don't look like me at all.

Oh, Damaris, do mine please.

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

I'm so glad you asked. I've been wanting to do yours, but didn't want to seem presumptuous. I kept your filter on both genders. DANG! You got matched to some HOTTIES!! I'm jealous!

Elizabeth Hurley 75%

Nicollette Sheridan 74%

Keira Knightley 72%

Erica Durance 71%

Jamie Lee Curtis 71%

I'm still puzzled as to why I was matched to some black celebrities. I do know that I'm 1/8th black, but I look 100% white.

Sinclaire · Moderator

That program is whacked!! I don't look like any of those people. I was hoping for Tea.

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

Let me try another picture of you and I'll post the results. I scanned five different pictures of myself and the results varied for each one. The only celebrities it could agree in for more than one pic was Meryl Streep, Gwen Stefani, Queen Rania and Brandy.

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

ROTFLMAO!! OMG, the funniest thing happened... remember the picture your husband took of us standing in front of your fireplace, with the family portrait hanging above? Well, I cropped myself out of the picture so it would just scan you, and it picked up on Sami's face in the picture too! It did an analysis of BOTH of you! LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

YOU:

Meg Ryan 68%

Bebe Neuwirth 66%

Drew Barrymore 64%

Sheryl Crow 63%

Samantha Fox 62%

Kathleen Turner 61%

Holly Hunter 60%

Michelle Rodriguez 60%

Lena Olin 59%

Mira Nair 58%

SAMI:

Oliver Hardy 61%

Omar Sharif 60%

Emma Thompson 59%

Felix Klein 56%

Brian de Palma 54%

The rest were old politician dudes. I don't consider these results valid because she's just a baby - her features are not developed yet. Still, it's pretty damn funny.

Sinclaire · Moderator

I hope that is the old Meg Ryan because the new one is scary looking....botox again

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

Now, see, I was going to say that you look like Tea Leoni, Christie Brinkley (in the eyes, mostly) or maybe a young Teri Garr (with straight hair). But mostly Tea. Not peach-flavored, either.

I get people coming up to me saying, "You look exactly like that one woman... I just saw her in a movie last night... I can't remember her name... but you look just like her!!". I get that a LOT. Somewhere in Hollywood there is an actress who is in a lot of movies, but nobody knows her name, and she looks exactly like me. Let's hope she's not a porn star. ROTFLMAO.

Wouldn't that be just your luck!? LOL! I have to agree with the Tea Leoni for Sinclaire.

I don't know, Briana Banks is really pretty and she's a porn star. Jenny McCarthy is another. I didn't get big enough hooters to be in skin flicks....not even going to mention the rest that doesn't look good on a big screen. No wonder so many actors worry about their weight.

Well, I don't know enough about porn to know if I even look like any of them at all... but that would be kind of funny, wouldn't it? You don't have to have big hooters to be in porn. A lot of guys fetishize tiny boobs, from what I understand.

Cheripits · Moderator

lol...that site is pretty crazy, Thanks for sharing it "D"!

I jumped on the band wagon to see how it would work on 2 of the pics I have on here. The first pic came back that I looked like "Whitney Houston"....roflmao. I was a little taken aback that I would look like a skinny, black drug addict!.....lmao. But actually I do see the resemblance to the pic that they showed. We both have the same uneven bangs, and the same wide smile, and it looked like we had the same shade lipstick on....lol.

the rest were: Natalie Imbruglia (61%) Jamie Lyn Spears (56%) Sophia Marceau(55%) get a load of this....lmao....Paris Hilton(54%) and Faye Duanway(53%) Andie MacDowell(52%)

I don't know who Natalie Imbruglia but she was first again on my 2nd pic I tried and then a very young Elizabeth Taylor (48%) then Anna Kournikova (48%).

This thing is definently good for a good laugh.

I also tried my daughter's pic.....oddly enough she came back with quite a few very lovely "India" actresses. I thought that was kind of ironic....lol.

I think the program takes overall facial shape into consideration, along with the size and shape of individual features. I think this would explain why Sami's picture was compared to that of adults with round babyish faces... because she's not far from being a baby herself! Coloring is obviously not considered, because if it were we would not be compared to Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Brandy and Spike Lee.

I don't get how it works either, but if that's the case, then my eyes must be somewhat slanted!

Damaris · Queen Perv Supremo

I scanned one photo of myself where I'm not wearing my glasses and kind of smirking, and my eyes look slanted. I got a lot of Asian celebrities.
