Thumbs up CE is Mirage!

I just watched "The Incredibles" last night and I was so surprised when I saw one of the characters having an uncanny similarity with that of one of my SYMian friends.

Despite the platinum hair and green eyes, I swear that Mirage reminded me so much of CE.

It is not just the way she looks (check out the eyes and the way her lips curl!), it's also the way Mirage talks. And if memory serves, I think the voice too!

Yes, I have met CE in person along with her S.O., Silur.

No, CE is not Elizabeth Pena.

Holy jeebus! You're right! I can recognize that sinister look anywhere, even if I've only seen it in photos

edit: now we just have to figure out what it has to do with child forums. After all, it's a well known fact that all conspiracies are related.

The neck's all wrong. Anybody who truly had a head like that would have it fall off the first time they walked quickly and came to a dead stop. And then the head would roll forward, and probably end up under a table, or a sofa.

I have it on reliable authority from Silur that CE's head has never done this. Therefore, that can't be a picture of CE.

LOL, it actually looks quite a bit like me

@Sinister look? Pleasant smile is more like it I think. (Btw, I am coming through Denmark soon, so watch your mouth )

@Fable: I actually have an unusually thin neck for being a human, it has never fallen off though

@Gwally: A hug from Mr Incredible? Hm, I think I must run to my...piano lessons really quickly now.

LMAO! Nice one! CE does look like Mirage, bar the silver hair CE has much more of a proactive, rather than a reactive, presence about her though

@Ysh: I have a silver white wig

I haven't seen the movie, but I am sure Silur would agree about the proactive thing though....

...I thought provocative. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/...oticons6/5.gif

I was watching Mirage speak and the manner she speaks and the way her mouth moved was sooo CE. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/...ticons6/43.gif

@Ysh: Silver? I thought it was platinum. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/...oticons6/9.gif

@Fas:Wanted to know her? Hmmm... http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/...ticons6/39.gif

... CE or Mirage? http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/...ticons6/10.gif

Unfortunately, I've never seen 'The Incredibles,' but yes, judging by CE's pics, that is a bit like her.

Still, though, the only person I can think of when I think the name Mirage is a robot who transforms into an blue & white '80s F1 race car.

I have not seen the movie, but based on the pictures CE has posted of herself that is quite an uncanny ressemblance!

How does it feel, CE, to have served as inspiration for an animation film?

You don't think learning to know me better is worth a little hit?

Hm, I'm not sure this was the kind of inspiration I was hoping to provoce.... I suppose I have no other choice but to watch this movie some day!
