Patterns of face recognition

[yumenotatsu]

"That's an old TMP, but I should recognize at least top stars... Oh right, here they are... I've seen this face before... And this is, of course, Maya Miki... And Asaji... And I've seen that face before because it's Kuze Seika... And now that I know what and who to look for, the fourth is, of course, Takane Fubuki... Wait, what year are we having

The specials are way too good for this. But in many a show, special or not, there is always at least one Sienne that makes me go "I know you...who are you? Why do I know you?" I might recognise faces but sadly I don't remember names. ^^;

[yumenotatsu]

Me too. Well, I do remember names - I'm just bad at connecting them to faces!
... This is another point in my eternal argument about how Zuka's a really useful hobby: I am training myself to recognize faces! It's useful! (because I do get the 'why do I know you?' moments in RL too, only I have no helpful wiki and Internet and just smile and nod)

Hah, yeah, me too. Though in RL I also think people are people I know when they're not, and have people who know me but I have no idea who they are. Such is life. But to be fair, I probably would remember those people a little better if they wore a sparkly tuxedo at some point. It's hard to forget something like that (unless of course there's a stage full of people wearing them...)

[yumenotatsu]

Yeah, well, a stage full of people in sparky tuxedos is confusing. Also, moustache - try and distinguish between several Rhett Butlers! (though somebody in there might have been Ashley Whatshisname)
