I guess it is, I get compared more to his character Edward Cullen because of my hair and pale skin, but also to vampires in general.

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?
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.
