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&#8217;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&#8217;s stuntwoman.<\/p>\n<p>While living here I&#8217;m constantly mistaken for someone else. In a way we all have a double, but we just aren&#8217;t aware of it.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t see the person who supposed to be my look-alike.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The next time I actually saw a person who resembled me a little bit. In 2005 I attended the PNWA writer&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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 for her sister. It couldn&#8217;t have been myself who she saw because I don&#8217;t live in Magnolia and I don&#8217;t walk around in this neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wordsareshadows.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/ute-redmon-city-hall.JPG\" alt=\"Ute Redmond city hall\" height=\"199\" width=\"152\" \/><br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a9 March 2007<\/p>\n<p>It seems like my body double lives here in this area, and I&#8217;m not only curious to find out more information about her, but I also would like to meet her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s said that we all have a body double.
