looky likey: Jane Tennison
Lookey Likey is an English colloquial phrase that means look like or resemble. I believe it gained popular use through appearing in a French and Saunders sketch (I couldn’t find online) subsequently used as the title of a TV show. This post is the first in an unpredictable, excitingly sporadic, series of posts describing where and how people have compared me to famous characters or celebritries
colleague: I’m watching the Prime Suspect series. It’s excellent. Jane Tennison REALLY reminds me of you (describes how Jane’s people management skills style aligns with mine)
wendy: yes. I…
colleague: …has anyone else ever pointed out the similarity?
wendy: yes.
My Jane Tennison-esque lack of conformity to the patriarchially prescribed presentation of the feminine didn’t quite make it into this charicature produced by another colleague. Using this picture as evidence you might suspect that I’m a twinset and pearls sort of a gal.
You, I, and my colleague know this is not the case… …unlike the charicature artiste….
