We All Look Alike? Well If You Say So, Let’s Get A Drink
I used my sister’s California drivers license as a fake ID from age 14 to 20. She’s eight years older, four inches shorter, and about 20 pounds lighter than me. I remember using the faker in Vegas with a mouthful of braces to win $160 in blackjack, during high school to get into 21+ shows, and all through college to stock my liquid-soaked house parties with coconut-flavored rum and Wild Turkey. Look, if the person checking my face was too dumb to tell us apart, who was I to point out their inadequacies? And for crying out loud, if a Parrot Bay and Wild Turkey purchase isn’t a dead giveaway of total underage-ness, I don’t know what is.
Is benefiting from some dork thinking all Asians look alike wrong? I don’t know. Do I care? Eh, not really.
Gawker reported this morning that three Japanese Lolitas (image above is not them) crashed Tom Ford’s ultra-secret, 100-seat fashion week party Monday night (just one bash, according to a tipster, of many among “the hottest parties all around town.”) Clad in platforms and pinafores, the trio gained entry by saying that one of them was Vogue Nippon editor-in-chief Mitsuko Watanabe, whose photo is to the right (One can only infer that Watanabe rarely, if ever, rocks her homeland’s esoteric, dirty-little-girl street style).
Unfortunately for the imposter and her party pals, Watanabe had already arrived and was seated in her, er, seat. The jig was quickly up and the girls were sent on their merry way. But the coup did happen–success for the Japanese Lolita tricksters! Can you blame them for trying? And succeeding?
Look, if the hoighty-toighty party list weilders are too stupid to tell them apart…

Wild Turkey!!!!
love it…

True story: last week I was at a conference. My boss tasked me with making contact with a very important exec from a really really large company. I got a look at him and actually said a couple words to him, but since he was busy, so I decided I’d stalk him later at the networking mixer. Well, later came around and I saw him at the mixer. I spent a good 20 minutes waiting for him to be free so I could talk to him. It wasn’t until later, when the actual guy left the mixer that I realized I was stalking the wrong one. I knew that because I recognized his shirt from earlier. They were both Asian guys.
We do it to, white people. We do it too…
WOW. That last comment was chock full of grammatical and spelling errors. I’m totally failing at Asian.
@BusyDad This is why you can’t tell your own people apart!!!
