Who wore it best?
Have you seen this segment in Us Magazine? They take photos of two celebrities, wearing the same or virtually the same outfit, and then give a description of accessories, dates, exact makers of the apparel, etc.
You, the reader, can then vote on which celeb wore it best.
For example, here’s one pitting sister against sister last summer with Kim and Kloe Kardashian.

Now, I am by no means a celebrity, but I did recently come across a famous star wearing virtually the same bathing suit that I wore last summer.
Since I’m not usually up to speed on the latest fashion trends, I was a little surprised to see such a popular celebrity looking so much like… me.
Back to the swimsuit-
The color might have been a little different…
The straps may not have been worn the same…
And one of us might be a little hairier…
But when I put our photos side by side, I couldn’t help but think, “Who wore it best?”
So there you have it.
I used to have a figure like an hour glass….
Now I have a figure like Zach Galifianakis.

You both wear it well
but you are the clear winner
at hair removal.
Peyton’s clever poem
made me laugh out loud today.
She is so clever.
And Susan plus Zach
in their little red swimsuits?
It’s so wrong, it’s right.
“It’s so wrong, it’s right.” <—that’s exactly is what I was going for!
LOVE it!
Girl you definitely wear it best!! You are a hot mama!!!
Thanks, Kristen…but you have to admit, he’s got the seductive look down. lol
I’m very happy to tell that you do NOT have a figure like Zach Galifianakis. Also? I think you’re way funnier.
I do see some striking similarities, but thank you
You’re such a classic beauty! My vote goes to the lady in red.
You too kind!
You are one of the bravest bloggers I know! LOL! You of course are the winner in the swimsuit competition! I’m confident you’ll rock the evening gown competition as well. Ellen
She did rock that awesome sparkly red number to laundry recently.
I made laundry my bitch that day.
Don’t confuse bravery with lack of shame…but thanks! LOL
Oh, definitely you. My husband and I have been waiting for this post! It’s a great suit, but I’m going with you on this one…you deserve a new one. Buy away girl…buy away.
Seeing him in it, just took away from it somehow. I don’t want anyone to say I bought it to be trendy!
Zach IS wearing mascara and a mole, which brings a bit of je ne sais quoi to the ensemble.
But your nails match the swimwear, your hair is blowing perfectly in the wind (a key to any successful beach shot), and you look less like a tranvestite Red Delicious apple who doesn’t have a good waxer than he does.
So, clearly, you wore it better. You luscious minx.
He’s definitely got some strong points like his seductive face…but he is a trained actor. I’m digging his mole too. Sex-ay.
And luscious minx? You are too kind. I was going for old fox!
Old Fox my scarred ass.
You’re a cocoa-haired love minx. Own it, baby. OWN IT.
Your hair is fabulous. And I think your boobs look better. Too pervy?
I’m totally blushing.
Oh my!!! Haha, you are hilarious!!! I can’t stop laughing!!!
I’m glad there’s people like you who “get” me, Heather!
You win by a landslide…your body is much better than Zack’s, except sadly for him – he may have better cleave…
I think his thighs are thinner too. I like his facial expression though, and his cleave might be a winner if it wasn’t so hairy.
Your earrings really complete the look, I have to say I love the suit too. Red’s my favorite color, and I do need one…
Now I feel like I need a new look, but I was loving the red when I bought this last year. Sassy.
So we can blame the kardashians for those hideous half shoe, half boot things that all the hipsters are wearing?
The only win for the celeb is a better looking beach!
I hate “booties” too…I just can’t get behind them…at all. Maybe I’m not trendy after all.
Yeah, I couldn’t get to the ocean, so I took my picture at the Bay. I do think he’s workin’ it though. He’s a natural.
Bahahahaha! I can’t stop laughing. I agree with Wendy, your accessories definitely make yours the better look.
Saved by the accessories! Whew!
And this is why we love you!
I figured I was okay with something like this …if I haven’t scared you off before, you’d probably enjoy this one
You are the clear winner here! I laughed so hard at this!! (And I really needed a laugh today, so thanks!)
Thank you for your vote! lol And I’m glad it could bring you a laugh when you needed it!
I love you, Susan.
Love you too, cousin!
You win the body contest, hands down. But I’m afraid Zach may have beaten you on the come-hither stare. He is an actor, after all.
I agree! There’s just something in his eyes….
I love you. You are fearless and I seriously love you! Also, I think you rock that bathing suit!
Fearless? Shameless? Depends on who you ask
You are the bravest woman ever. Of course you look hawt in the suit, but I do like that 5 o’clock shadow look too. I’m torn.
Zach’s confidence and seductive look make this a harder decision for most than I was hoping, but I get it…he’s got “it.”
Lol! Definitely, my vote goes to you, Susan!
Yeah! Thank you!
Oh my goodness…hilarious!! My favorite part of this picture is the fact that you two have identical expressions on your face. That’s just awesome. I’m assuming you planned to take that shot on the beach for the purpose of this post…and that you’re not the gal who just randomly poses on the beach for no reason. Or maybe you are. If so, good for you. After all, not anyone can look that good in a bathing suit…only the truly beautiful like you and, um, Zach (and those other comments were right…serious man boobs going on there). Love!
Smiles,
Jenn @Misadventures in Motherhood
I wish I had this photo just sitting around and then came across Zach…awesome. I did find him first, but I’m glad you think we had the same expression. I think he has me beat there
So fab. Totally gave me the giggles which made me happy and I’m all about the happy. Look for twinkles, follow the winks, find your happy.
Thanks! I’m glad you “get” me!
I’m all about the happy too!
First of all, you are so brave and confident and awesome to post a picture of yourself in a swinsuit online. I could be 50 pounds lighter and tan and I still couldnt do it! Secondly, you look awesome! I love the style of the swimsuit and you look great in it!
Thanks, Erika. Lucky for me I lost my shame (or something) a long time ago. Got to love to learn what you’ve got and juts enjoy yourself, right? I think Zach gets that too
You wear it much better! I was trying not to laugh out loud…have a baby sleeping, so I will LOL on here!!!!
Oh don’t wake that baby! Glad you enjoyed the post
Okay, this one’s really good. Maybe even genius. Definitely hilarious. My hat’s off to you.
Thanks, I try!
My husband officially thinks I’m insane, but I think there’s a fine line between insanity and being a genius. I’ll side with you 
I almost went with Zach but not because he wore it better. I just happened to like the waves in the background of his photo. But in all honestly, I think your fierce expression clinched the win.
He’s got the waves, the confidence and the expression, but I gave it my best. I think we look more similar than I was expecting in my head when I thought of doing this. lol Thanks for your vote!
LOVE IT! You win for having a great sense of humor and well…you aren’t as harry!
That’s one thing I think I did win…thank God!
[...] After my last post, showing off my super pale skin in an actual bathing suit (which proves I officially have no shame left), a suit like this helps prevent sun damage and sunburns. It’s got 1000% UV protection. Plus I think I sweat off about 10lbs when I was wearing it (#winning). [...]
You look awesome! And…just think – Zach had airbrushing!
[...] Somehow I always expect it won’t look just like this. [...]
I am new to your blog and have to say I have fallen in love. Thanks for the laugh. PS: where can I get my own green suit
I added your button to my blog. Feel free to stop on by 
[...] The silver lining here is that I’m feeling good in a bathing suit, just in time for my vacation. I won’t have to worry if I look better than Zach Galifianakis in my retro red bathing suit any… [...]
