A young lady named Sasha Gordon appears in today’s Daily Mail, complaining about how looking like Leona Lewis has ruined her life. So, how best to remedy this awful situation? To have a makeover demonstrating just how much she can look like other people, or even herself? Or would it be to dress up in a Leona-style dress to illustrate the similarity to the whole nation, not just Penge?
The story gets weirder. Head to Sasha’s Facebook page, where the same picture adorns her profile, and she says of her job as a part-time model/Leona lookalike: ‘love my job wouldn’t change it for the world’. And, it seems, the piece in the Mail has sent lots of job offers in her direction! Happily, she also seems also to have picked up another boyfriend (a previous one was put off by all the autograph seekers, we are told).
‘$$$$$$$$$$$$$’ says Sasha, by way of celebration. So it all worked out for the best in the end then. Hopefully she hasn’t read the comments on the Daily Mail website from all those nasty people who claim that she looks nothing like her.
Speaking of Lewis, what does she have to say? The singer’s Twitter account remains mysteriously silent on the matter, being more concerned with the rescue effort in Haiti. Strange days.
