BFF

I ran across the cutest picture ever yesterday (thank you google image swirl) of Cate & Kate while I was looking for a picture of Kate Winslet chubby (hear me out) to prove the point that no, I do not think she is fat or ever was, BUT that by today's standards (a decade and a half after Titanic) she would never have been cast in that movie.  You'd be surprised how many actresses wouldn't make the cut nowadays.  Which is probably why movies suck more.  Anways, I'll have to come back to that another day, because I have discovered something startling about the C/Kates:  I think they may be the same person.  Let alone the fact that they actually share the same name, they also have many other eerily similar qualities.  I shall explain:

(so cute, right?  ah, youth.)

(a more recent photo.  still bff after all these years.)
