In Which a Guest Poster Draws Bonnets on Isabel’s Head

Posted by Isabel on September 2nd, 2008. Filed under: Guest Posts.
Isabel has one of those faces that gives off a familiar vibe. I always see celebrities and people on the street that resemble her in some form. Maybe it’s her glasses or the slight wave in her hair. Perhaps she has a common skin tone or a replica smile.

In January, Isabel came to Utah to see her family, and I went to pick her up from the airport.. As I circled the loading zone, I nearly pulled over for some dark-haired lady with a cute purse and a stroller. I was mid-wave (with a very large smile on my face) when I realized it was NOT Isabel. Can you imagine how that lady would have felt if I’d pulled over and tried to buckle her child in my car seat?

{{Shudder}}

The poor lady probably still has nightmares about my over-enthusiastic approach. I was at the airport once, and this totally psychotic lady came after me and my baby. And…. and…. SHE WAVED AT US!!!! Oh goooooooosh! [insert horrific sobbing here].

So the other day I was sitting on my duff watching TV – a common practice in the Brittish household – when I saw that clip on PBS Kids that talks about Sunmaid Raisins being a proud sponsor of Curious George…. whatever. We don’t care about the raisins. What we do care about is the familiar face on the box:

Do you see it?

Look closer:


Isabel is the international spokeswoman for stale fruit products! At least the raisin lady is pretty. Things could be worse!


Have any of you seen Isabel in random places, too, or am I just some sick, obsessed online stalker?

    Isabel is way prettier than the Sun Maid Raisin gal. And, is it weird that I always wanted a bonnet? Too much Little House on the Prairie for me, I guess.

    I totally had bonnets when I was kid, thanks to Little House on the Prairie. Good times, good times.

    I loved this post. LOL. I normally cringe when people have ‘guest posters’ but I just laughed when I saw the raisin comparison. :o )

    Once I stalked Isabel at the fancy shmancy mall in downtown Seattle. I think I freaked out The King.

    Isabel freakin’ ROCKS! I heart her.

    I should have stalked her during my trip near Seattle. If I would have had more time, I totally would have. Don’t worry, this spring they should be shooting “New Moon” and if they do, we’re going down again! And I’ll be SO stalking Isabel! :)

    YES. I totally saw a woman in Michael’s that so resembled Isabel a few months ago. She probably wondered what the hell I was staring at!

    I emailed her a couple of months ago asking if she was at Macy’s in St. Louis because I think I freaked out a complete stranger.
