Mom Of 5 Mocks Celebrity Parents By Hilariously Recreating Their Photos (120 Pics)
Celebrities are often perceived as exemplary figures we should seek inspiration from. However, the real lives of a celebrity and a 'normal' person are completely different, so blindly following their example is sometimes ridiculous, and Kate Casey is here to prove it. The mom of five, Kate, who is a podcast host, comedian, and author, has been recreating celebrity photos to give them a more realistic feel. For the past few years, Kate has been putting herself in hilarious predicaments that show her take on the snapshots of celebrity life. With these funny side-by-side comparisons, Kate asks "Same, right?" and shows how different she and famous personas actually look.

"My "Same, right?" series is to make light of airbrushed and filtered celebrity photos on Instagram and in magazines, which tend to make other women feel less than. My goal is to humanize photos from a realistic mother’s perspective," Kate told Bored Panda.

What's fundamentally different between her and celebrity life is resources. "My life differs from celebrity moms because I don’t have the access and luxury they do. I don’t have a staff of minions. I don’t have access to the professional teams they have. I do not have the luxury of a photo team, stylist, makeup and hairstylist, manager, agents, and publicist. I am a one-man band," she said. While it seems that stars are living the dream and everyone wants to be like them, Kate actually sees the benefits of being a 'normal' mom: "The benefit of being a normal mom is perspective. I don’t have anyone telling me that I walk on rainbows. My friends and my family are honest. I am fully engaged in my life, my community, and the lives of my kids."

"Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge on the same day she gave birth to her third child in full hair and makeup standing upright. This is me on the same day I gave birth to my fourth child. The catheter bag is attached to the side of the hospital bed. I am wearing a gown and a frozen diaper inside a pair of mesh underwear. My hair is greasy and only one eye has makeup. So, basically the same, right?"

Catherine has a whole support staff, including a nanny, to get her ready for the couple minutes’ appearance with the baby for the paparazzi, before she can get into the limo, hand the kid to the nanny then once they’re home be carried (literally carried, whatcha wanna bet) into the castle and upstairs so she can collapse in bed. Celebrities and other wealthy people also have staff to free up time and help them work on getting those abs six weeks after giving birth. The rest of us live in the real world and have to do everything ourselves, so don’t have the damn time for such frivolity.

Kathy Baylis 5 years ago (edited)
Yours looks better and is more meaningful. Because you did it yourself, it shows how caring and personally creative you are. Jenner paid someone else to do all of it for her, so uncreative, impersonal, and therefore meaningless.

“I get it. Totally normal to wear a ballgown in your family room with one leg hoisted above your head. #tbt😂 #sameright #loveandknuckles…”
Kathy Baylis 5 years ago (edited)
I do this too, sometimes, because I used to take dance lessons and it feels good to stretch. Only I do it in workout clothes or pajamas (which makes sense); never in a ball gown (which makes no sense).

The Kardashians keep looking more and more like caricatures than real people every year. Pretty soon we’ll be seeing them in articles about people who totally ruined their looks with too much plastic surgery.

Reasonable outfit for tennis. The heels help you with your serve and the Spanx top keeps your chest restrained. Tennis, anyone? Same right?”

Again, you really think she actually plays tennis? Because you know, you have to break a sweat to do that, and sweat makes makeup run.

Yes Beyonce is beautiful, but that photo was just strange. Random bra/underwear combo with a veil thrown in. Couldn't figure out what they were going for or trying to get across.

I personally have to defend the royals. They are expected to live up to nearly impossible standards. Right now their lives are damned if you do, damned if you don't. I'm not making judgements about politics or anything here. Just that they have to meet very high expectations all of the time, no matter how they feel. Also, it appears that you have had at least one difficult birth and little support afterwards. I didn't look so wiped out after any of my 7 babies. So it's a bit unfair to judge other people by your extreme case. And I really am sorry that you seem to have had very difficult birthing experiences.
