Happy Birthday, Mimi & Michael!

How fortunate is Michael Fassbender? He gets to share his birthday with my lovely friend, Miriam!
For years Miriam has expressed that she did not have an interesting celebrity-birthday twin.

Then again, it can be argued that Eugen Sandow and Clement Ader are pretty dang interesting depending on who you ask.

It's gotta be tough when I'm over here, bragging about how I share my day with the likes of Britney Spears, Georges Seurat, Brendan Coyle (Mr.Bates on Downton Abbey), and ahem, Sherlock Holmes (Don't worry, it'll catch on in no time.).

Eugen Sandow and Clement Ader just don't have the same "brag factor."

But finally, we all saw a little film called Jane Eyre around this time last year.  I can safely say it changed my life, but it also introduced us to this Irish gentleman: Michael Fassbender.

He had been in Band of Brothers, Inglorious Basterds, Hunger, Fishtank, A Bear Called Winnie (Seriously, how did I miss that?), and oh so many other films before he appeared on my Jandar (It's pretty much the same thing as a radar...just without the obnoxious sonar bleeps)...Well, it was a pleasant surprise when we learned that this new Byronic hero, the topic of many a conversation, was born on April 2nd!

Huzzah! Alas, a celebrity twin that Miriam could potentially throw a double birthday bash with!

So, to my friend on her special day,

 Mirma, have an extraordinary birthday! You are remarkably radiant inside and out and it is an absolute pleasure to call you my friend!

Happy Birthday!
