I, like most people yesterday, was very saddened to hear about the passing of Dame Elizabeth Taylor. As so many media outlets have said, she truly was a real Hollywood star and a legend. I don't mean to tarnish her image nor insult her in any way, shape, or form. In fact, I have nothing but respect for her. Her marriages, her charitable work, and her talent and beauty are things that no one, especially me, can shake a stick at.
Of course, in the days after the passing of such a well loved talent there are going to be numerous tributes and articles printed in her honor. I don't know what I can say, that hasn't already been said, to pay tribute to such an extraordinary person, so I'm not.
However, in browsing through some of the online tributes to Dame Elizabeth, I came across a photo of her. I have no idea when it was taken. And I am in no way diminishing her talent or beauty, but I couldn't help but think of one thing when I saw this particular picture...
SNOOKI!
Listen, is Snooki the next Dame Elizabeth? No. Do they look alike? No. But, BUT, in this picture? Yes. There definitely some similarities. Picture Snooki with her signature pouf (instead of the ball cap) and I think you would find it hard to disagree with me.
Snooki, like Ms. Taylor, is always looking (Snookin') for love. Both are famous (Ok, maybe one is more infamous). And, both have a fan in me.
I hope you don't think less of me for this. But come on, look at the pics! You have to admit, it's sort of uncanny, and very funny. Ms. Taylor was Jersey Shore Chic before Snooki was even alive to cruise the boardwalk looking for the perfect gorilla (or cocktail).
And really, from far away, with your eyes squinted, that picture of Elizabeth Taylor could easily be Snooki.
R.I.P. Dame Elizabeth Taylor. I hope one day I will be so lucky as to be compared to you.
