Long Island sisters often mistaken for Sasha and Malia Obama
A pair of Long Island sisters are basking in the adoration that follows Sasha and Malia Obama - because people keep mistaking them for the First Daughters.
Krissy and Nandra Best are constantly stopped for autographs and even did well in a celebrity look-alike contest on "Live With Regis and Kelly." "We tell people,'No, we're not' but they keep on insisting that we're them," 9-year-old Krissy told the Daily News Saturday from her home in Medford, L.I.
Their mom, Karen Noel Best, entered the darling duo in the "Live" contest last month and wasn't surprised they made it to the finals and were featured Friday.
"People have been saying they look like the Obama girls since the election," said Best, 48. "We go to the mall and restaurants and people always stop us."
"Sometimes I say, 'Yes, they are the girls, and I'm their nanny and we have to go,'" she said.
The girls said being on TV was a thrill that could only by topped by meeting Sasha and Malia in person.
"That would be so awesome!" Krissy said.
"My family voted for Obama and we worked for the campaign."
Their mom says she can't think of better role models for her daughters. "I really do share a lot of values with the president and I like the way he raises his daughters," Best said.
"He talks about how important reading to kids is. I love that my daughters look up to the Obamas." [NY Daily News]
Um...
And why would the Obama sisters be walking down the street for these seeing impaired ass people to stop them and ask for an autograph?
