The other day my mom was showing Lauron some of our family pictures. Lauron asked, “Who’s that baby that Kyle’s holding?”

Except that’s not me, it’s my mom! Holding my brother! I do recognize that face though, I make it all the time.

I look so much like her it freaks me out a little bit. I make that exact face all the time, I know I do, but I can’t find a picture of me with that expression, this was the closest I came across.

And while we’re on the subject, can I just take a minute to point out how ridiculously hot my mom is? Notice, that I said is, not was. This is her in her twenties, but she’s just as beautiful today as she was then. Sadly, I did not inherit her insane bikini body! But I’m ok with that, not beating myself up, remember?

  2. 1) The resemblance between you 2 is uncanny, wow!!! And I thought my Mom and I looked a lot a like.
    2) PLEASE PUBLISH THAT PICTURE OF YOUR MOM SOMEWHERE!!! I don't know where, but do it. That deserves to be in a book forever. It/she is breathtakingly gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta try to get a pic next week like that while I'm in Ibiza (though I don't have THAT body either haha), love love love it.
    3) You and Seba are smoking hot in that pic. I remember those pics from a couple of months ago and they're just perfection! :)

  3. Your mom is hot! That picture looks sort of like you took it- only with a camera from the 80s ;) You should use that shot as inspiration for a future shoot.

  4. People who see me with my mom tell me I look like she did when she was in her teens which is weird because I'm in my twenties. Then, those same people who see me with my aunt (my dad's sister) tell me I look like her. In fact, people always think she's my mom. I guess it's pretty good evidence that we share the same DNA.

  6. OMG I don't think I've ever seen mother/daughter pics that are soooo identical! That is seriously amazing.

  7. I look a lot like my Dad's sister. Supposedly the pictures of me look just like her when she was my age. As for my mom, we look nothing alike. You can only tell we are related through our mannerisms and voice.

  8. I LOVE the old pictures. And that first one does totally look like you— I mean, the hair is wrong, but otherwise dead on. :)

  9. Same way. I look like my mom's sister– way more than my mom. Apparently, I have her laugh too.

  10. Oh my god…you guys are identical!!!!

  11. Dude! Seriously, I, too, thought it was you in the 80's in the first picture! Crazy! Awww, and you're mom is just as beautiful as you.

  12. I wonder if there is some why I can inherit that insane bikini body?? WOWZA!

    Comment by Andrea Gonzalez — June 3, 2010 @ 9:00 pm

  13. And I remember back in the day feeling fat! Now if I had to feel fat and look like that, I'd give anything!

  14. Right, the bikini picture was taken in 1980 and the one with Kyle's brother was in 1986. Spot on. P.S. thanks for the compliment.

    Comment by Ritamae39 — June 4, 2010 @ 2:47 am

  15. And not only in looks . . . our mannerisms, expressions and voices are very similar. I think we were actually sisters in a previous life.

    Comment by Ritamae39 — June 4, 2010 @ 2:48 am

  16. Ha ha! The hair is wrong. It was even wrong back in the day!!

    Comment by Ritamae39 — June 4, 2010 @ 2:49 am

  17. To the other blog readers . . . thanks for all of the compliments. To Kyle . … . I can't believe you posted those pics without my permission. You are in big trouble little lady. I have a “chinny” waiting for you when you come back next.

    Comment by Ritamae39 — June 4, 2010 @ 2:51 am

  18. Wow, your mother is absolutely stunning. I really can't get over it. And you two look SO much alike. Lucky girl!

    Comment by capturinglife — June 4, 2010 @ 3:23 pm

  19. Wow, the similarity is amazing! My older brother found a photo of my dad that looks almost exactly like him and had a similar reaction.

  20. Its ridiculous how much you look like you're mother… I was so shocked to see that!

    Comment by Haley — June 8, 2010 @ 3:00 am

  21. I was shocked to see it too!!!

  22. It's totally crazy to me when genetics are that strong.

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 8:59 pm

  23. I know, my mom is freaking gorgeous!!!!

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 8:59 pm

  24. Don't forget, I'm big enough to give you a chinny back if you try one on me :P

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 8:59 pm

  25. I know, RIGHT?!?

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 8:59 pm

  26. I still can't get over that you used to feel fat when you looked like that!

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:00 pm

  27. Haha, I know isn't that bonkers? Sometimes I don't think we look anything like, but that picture definitely stopped me in my tracks. And thanks Renee, you're sweet. And I miss you.

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:01 pm

  28. I know, Lucie, you'd crack up if you saw us in real life, I think we're even more alike in flesh and blood!

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:01 pm

  29. LOL, that hair is so wrong it's right :P

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:02 pm

  30. You guys should post those pictures. I love seeing old pictures too.

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:02 pm

  31. Isn't that crazy?!? My mom emailed the pictures to Seba and he responded with, “OMG!!!

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:02 pm

  32. Haha, I know, it's nuts!

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:03 pm

  33. Pooooost pictures of that, I want to see!

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:03 pm

  34. I will! I actually love lots of 80's photography/looks. It's funny how it all came back. Well I guess everything eventually comes back.

    Comment by kyleracine — June 13, 2010 @ 9:04 pm

  35. Andi, I will replicate that picture for you, of you in Buzios!!! We'll do a beach themed shoot or something. Wouldn't that be amazing?!?

    And I've seen your bikini pictures, so STOP, you're such a hottie!!!! Lucas is a lucky guy and I'm sure he knows it!
