Which celebrity are you....? ? ! !

I always thought I looked like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt or even Mark Wahlberg until I tried out Kao Cheki ...then unfortunately I found out that is not the case....

Kao Cheki or face check, translated into English, is a mobile phone website where users can take a headshot of themselves with their phone camera and send it into the website, where based on image recognition technology, users then receive a response showing their top three celebrity lookalikes.....And that's where I found out that I don't look like Tom, Brad or Mark.....

As this novelty site has proven to be quite popular, the makers of Kao Cheki, J-Magic, has followed it up with another interesting and creative simulation website, but with a twist.

Introducing Shoubu Co-de Cheki.

“Shoubu” is a Japanese word that means “victory or defeat” or “contest” but can amazingly also be used to describe an item of clothing a woman wears in the hopes of landing the "perfect boyfriend" (for example, “shoubu shatsu” would be a girl’s best shirt, and "shoubu pantsu" would be a girl's best......). And “co-de” is the Japanese way of saying “coordinate,” as in an outfit. So this new website requires users to send in the same headshot, but in return suggests what kind of outfit is most suitable and attractive to their face. There are over 10 different responses from “feminine” to “natural cool” so the site caters to all.

The site, is currently free until December 26th and is accessed through the Kao Cheki site.

...I wonder who Chris Schoenwald (blog co-author) looks like...??
