My brother-in-law ,Tim Berry, posted this 2009 photo of me with my sister, Terri Berry, and my nephew, Sebastian Berry, on Facebook. I had to share it here because I think Terri and I look even more matchy-matchy than usual.
Bookends!
Background information:
- We aren’t twins (though we do both wear MAC’s Lasting Lust lip color).
- No one in the family is really named Berry. We just liked to call Terri “Terri Berry” when she was a kid. Tim and Sebastian are honorary Berries as a result.
- My sister changed her last name when she got married (but still not to Berry!). I decided long ago that there was no way in hell I was changing my last name … unless I met a guy whose last name was “Bendy.” “Wendy Bendy” would be amazeballs … and I don’t say “amazeballs” lightly.

A-dorable! You two really do look like twins in this photo… I look like my dad and my sister like my mom and I’m four years older, but I recall at least one occasion as a teen when someone thought we were twins. Weird.
berry good
You’re on the left right? lol.. Great pic!
Ahh! My anti-spam word wears monkey fur and paints soup cans! 😀
Anyway, you sure you two aren’t twins… how do you know you weren’t… “cloned”? *dramatic music*

1st: I can’t believe my word ver. is something I’ve been craving, gazpacho. crazy.
You look like twins to me. What’s the age difference?
My daughters are three years apart, and people get them mixed up all of the time.
“more detached than the average cat” hahaha, loved that on Drolly’s page.
I just realized that the last sentence makes it look like I’m stalking you.
yes, gorgeous family, indeed!

You are not twins….You look so alike. This is a great shot of the both of you and your nephew. Xxxx

Wow you two are alike. Lovely pic. Wendy Bendy made me chuckle! I was soooo reluctant to change my name when I got married, and two tears on and I have a bit of a dual identity!!! Hope you are well. e xxxx
WOwza! You do you look like twinkies!
Gorgeous pic Wendy and I love the blazer! So stylish all the time!
smiles,

Y’all are cute! So the little book is titled ‘Sebastian’ then?
And he’s the best little book I’ve ever read!
Double trouble…You could totally pass for twins!
I love this pic! And you guys share that same gorgeous smile!
“Wendy Bendy” made me choke on my coffee. And there are serious implications to a name like that!
Bookends is right! You guys look great!
Dang, you DO look a little twinny here.
And I’m glad you explained the Berry references. I always wondered.
I really wanted to marry my college housemate because his last name was Scally. Seriously. Sally Scally? Also awesomeballs.
Bendy Wendy would be EVEN better than Wendy Bendy. 🙂 I love funny last names. Last night I was watching “Wipeout” (please, I know, shut up) and there was a girl whose last name was Funke-Ho (pronounced Funky Ho) How awesome is that? She was born Funke and married a Ho. If I was Miss Funke-Ho I’d be milking that thing for all it’s worth. 🙂
my god, I have never seen sisters who look so alike, you guys make one hot family!
WOWZA, you and your sister are like TWINS, and how cute is your nephew, awwww, xoxo
You two are double gorgeous! WOW.
(My captcha is calamari. Now I want some!)
What Berry beautiful sisters…
Wendy Bendy would the one of the all time great names if it came to pass.
Amen…don’t change your last name. For so many reasons and so much work. The two of you are beautiful and I would have though you were twins.
WOW. And people mistook me & my sister for twins! I suspected you of photoshopping for a minute there 😉
Not fair! The Brandes gene pool is too lucky.
Sebastian Berry is an amazingly adorable berry! Arm Baby wants an intro.
MORE SEBASTIAN!!!!! =D
You two look JUST alike.
wow, you guys do look alike! but you also look great. the guy between you is very lucky. 🙂
Wendy Bendy. How appropriate that my anti-spam word is “hahaha” cuz that is what Wendy Bendy made me do!
for a second I thought my dreams had come true and there were two Wendys!
you & your sister are gorgeous! and your nephew is getting so big!
i was about to say- you look like gorgeous twins. Such flattering lip color on both of you.
That’s so crazy because you two do look like twins!

WoW you really look like twins. So pretty. xo Mish
The resemblance is striking!You are both gorgeous! Love the plaid trim on your pockets.
What a lovely photo! You two do look alike here, no wonder people think you’re twins!
So do you two resemble more your mom or your dad? haha
It’s hard to say! Here’s a picture of Mom: http://momstyleicons.blogspot.com/2010/02/moms-in-love-volume-43.html
I can totally see the resemblance!
I love your family knicknames. Too bad Mr.B’s last name isn’t “Bendy” . . . . Maybe you could get him to change his last name to that, then your biggest dream would come true!
How about Wendy Trendy? Hmmm…I don’t think that’s a real last name, though.
I can’t believe you’re not twins. That’s amazing!
Great photo – you do look similar. And I love that jacket.
Typically, I spit my coffee all over my laptop when I read “Wendy Bendy”.
You and your sister are gorgeous! And young Master Berry is adorable.
I didn’t change my last name when I got married over 25 years ago (yup, child bride) and it was never an issue until my son came home at age 7 from a parish basketball game and asked why he was a “bastard” when he thought he had been nice to the other children. And that happened in this century.
My friend used to have me on his cell phone labeled Jill the Thrill. His wife wasn’t too pleased. Love Wendy Bendy and you and your Sister…Beautiful.
Oh my God you could be twins!
Oh My Gosh! I can’t believe there are two people with, almost the same, terrific face. I didn’t believe it possible. Beautiful dames. 🙂
Thanks!
