A body double
April 3, 2007 by SUM.
It’s said that we all have a body double. A couple years ago I saw the body double of Leah Remini who plays the main role in King of Queens. I met her at the Longs drug store in Bellevue on 156th St. This woman not only looked like Leah but she also acted and spoke like her. I was stunned when I saw her. The apparent resemblance was enormous. Leah’s look-alike worked as a cashier at the drug store. We briefly exchanged some words and I said to her that she could work as Leah’s stuntwoman.
While living here I’m constantly mistaken for someone else. In a way we all have a double, but we just aren’t aware of it.
The first time that I became aware of being mistaken for someone else was in Portland, Oregon in 1995. While I visited an antique fair at the Portland Expo show an antique dealer at the show mistook me for someone else who had previously looked at her antiques. I personally didn’t see the person who supposed to be my look-alike.
The next time I was mistaken for someone else was at the ProClub where I worked out for a few years. An employee told me that someone who looks just like me works out there, too, but early in the morning. Since I never came in early, I always worked out in the afternoon or in the evening, I never saw this person. Without looking at my notes now that must have been in 2000/2001.
The next time I actually saw a person who resembled me a little bit. In 2005 I attended the PNWA writer’s conference at SeaTac and towards the end of the conference I noticed a woman who had the same hairstyle and color like me, her facial features were similar, but she was bigger than me and her body type was stocky. I just thought when I saw her that she could be mistaken for me from a distance.
Yesterday, 2nd April 2005, an employee at my bank asked me whether I have a sister living in Magnolia. So here again, someone mistook me for someone else or her sister. It couldn’t have been myself who she saw because I don’t live in Magnolia and I don’t walk around in this neighborhood.

It seems like my body double lives here in this area, and I’m not only curious to find out more information about her, but I also would like to meet her.
