When was the first time you were ever compared to your celebrity?

People started mentioning it to me my freshman year at UNH. 

How do you feel about your celebrity counterpart? Are you a personal fan?

Kim is kind of a diva but I like her style and I like to keep up with the Kardashians every now and then.

Do you think the comparison is an accurate one?

I mean I don’t see it completely, but I can see why people say it somtimes because we both have tan skin and dark hair.

Shannon Ramsey- Barbie

Age: 19

Year at UNH: Sophomore

Major: Hospitality Management

Hometown: York, Maine

When was the first time you were ever compared to your celebrity?

When I decided it would be funny to be Barbie for Halloween. I guess it sort of just clicked for everyone then. I couldn’t really get rid of the comparisons after that!

How do you feel about your celebrity counterpart? Are you a personal fan?

I think it’s flattering to be compared to her! I think she’s a staple of every girl’s childhood. Work it Barb.

Is the comparison an accurate one?

Is it the blonde hair? The height? Our mutual love for the color pink? Who knows, but throw us both in the Barbie Jammin’ Jeep and I think we could pass as twins.

Is the comparison an accurate one?

When I was younger people actually said I looked more like “Vinny” from the show because of my haircut but I think they compare me to both of them because of the way I dress or act and the fact that we’re all Italian.

I never really watched the Bachelor except for a few minutes here and there and from what I’ve seen I actually do think we look alike. He also seems like a chill guy and as you can tell from watching the show he’s pretty good with the ladies. So yes I’d have to say that I am a personal fan.

Is the comparison an accurate one?

Yes I believe the comparison is an accurate one. We both have blonde hair, blue eyes, and similar body builds. I also think we share some of the same mannerisms in how we talk and interact with people.
