From the 2012 Debs…

Deb Joanne was ecstatic to get her first five star Goodreads rating from NYT Bestseller Lisa McMann

Deb Erika was thrilled to learn that Little Gale Gumbo was reviewed on Reader Unboxed–the all-new sister site to Writer Unboxed!

Deb Linda is happy to be back amongst the living after more than a week of feeling like she was on the wrong side of the Zombie Apocalypse. Yay, drugs! (Antibiotics, that is. Not the fun illegal kind. She would never indulge in illicit behavior, because she has a big yellow stripe down her back strong social conscience.)

Deb Dish — What celebrity have you been told you resemble?

Deb Joanne – surprisingly (and I don’t see it at all) I’ve been told by a few people that I look like Jodie Foster. I don’t see it, but I’ll take it.

 

Deb Erika has been told Helen Hunt, Meryl Streep and Bette Midler, in no particular order. Talk about flattery will get you everywhere! To be compared in any way to Bette Midler  is a dream.

 

Deb Molly My students always used to tell me I looked like Drew Barrymore. I argued with them — until the day one of my students told me I looked like Supernanny! Um, I’ll take Drew, thanks.

 

Deb Rachel People mention Keri Russell sometimes, but only circa Felicity and only because of the curly hair. Someone once said Drew Barrymore, which was weird since I think we look nothing alike. These days people have been saying I remind them of Emma Stone. I think that one’s all about the freckles. Still, I’ll take it. To be compared to any of those women is quite a compliment!

Deb Linda – Back in the day, when I wore my hair longer and, yanno, golden-blonder instead of the *cough* extreme blonde (my hair stylist’s term for it) Mother Nature has turned it into, people used to tell me I looked like Shelley Long, of the sitcom Cheers fame. Now, TG sometimes tells me I look like Katherine Heigl, but only when we’ve had a few martinis and he’s trying to get lucky. Personally, though, I think I’m starting to look a bit like Groucho Marx. What do you think?
