dan posted in Icons Lookalikes and Impersonators on September 11th, 2008

I have worked with Guy Guido on several occasions and we are introducing out newest lookalike Michael as Barack. Guy is heading up creating the look and the promotions needed to catapult some of the newest lookalikes to the forefront of this industry. Michael has booked two big jobs in the last month. One, a car commercial for the state of Kentucky, and two, a pictorial for Vanity Fair magazine. Michael is by far the best Barack Obama lookalike out there today. The resemblance is very close. Look for more from Michael as he begins to working constantly as the election closes in. On another note, I am currently in Lake Tahoe with my hit casino show, Carnival Cabaret. We have been asked back by the casino, basically, we are back by popular demand. The employees and community alike have asked where and why we were not longer here, and they decided to bring us back. James Gypsy Haake is starring in this female impersonator revue and I am grateful for all the support the employees here and corporate have given my cast and I. We are very excited to be here and look forward to breaking out record for the longest running show in the history of Lake Tahoe. If you are looking for the best in female impersonators or celebrity lookalikes, I can help you. Look no further. Enjoy the promo video below that Guy Guido put together for our newest lookalike. Until next time- dan gore, lookalike king

dan posted in Icons Lookalikes and Impersonators on April 28th, 2008

Courtesy of Guy Guido’s upcoming ICONS publication, Kent was cast as a James Dean lookalike for a national print ad campaign using celebrity lookalikes thru ICONS. This photo shoot was done back in February by Norman Jean Roy. BBDO Ad Agency was impressed with Kent Moran’s previous photos by Guy Guido. (Check out www.guyguido.com for some fabulous photography and re-creations of past and present celebrities.) Because of the amazing photo re-creations that Guido did on Kent as James Dean, Kent was the perfect James Dean lookalike for BBDO’s campaign for Armstrong laminate flooring. Other lookalikes cast, not thru ICONS, was the amazing Melody as Lucille Ball. Dean Martin lookalike and Marlon Brando lookalike, not sure of the talent’s names. James Dean lookalike ad below.

End of February, my new Michael Jackson lookalike and impersonator Carlo dazzled them in Diamond Bar for a corporate event. This past weekend, Natalie Reid knocked them dead in Hot Springs, Arkansas and appeared on the front of the city’s main newspaper. Natalie appeared as Paris Hilton in the World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Arkansas. Tim C. booked Natalie on this and also arranged her emergency transportation back to Los Angeles as all flights were cancelled due to bad weather. Thanks Tim! Bette Midler lookalike Glen rocked the private Regency Club on Wilshire last week for a 60th bday party. Lindsay Lohan lookalike Emily took a four hour cruise in Marina Del Rey harbor for Scott’s 40th birthday cruise. And yours truly delivered some campy ass George Michael for Seb’s 30 something birthday at Murano’s restaurant in Beverly Hills. Very fancy smancy! Good news to come the week of June 2, 2008 that details my new show that will open in the fall of 2008. : ) Keep posted to read more. Also, for all you lookalikes be sure to vote yours truly for Best Producer 2008 for the Entertainment Network’s annual awards, given out at the annual impersonator convention in Las Vegas. If you want to vote for and you are a lookalike, please let me know so I can send you the ballot.

It’s February already! Can you believe it? 2008 is kicking forward and we are booking acts all over town. In the lookalike and impersonator industry, you know ICONS and the Lookalike King aren’t messing around. Our female impersonators started rocking the world early this year in PAPER Magazine’s February issue, on stands now. You can check out one of the pics here below. What a fabulous job the photographer Mike Ruiz did, excellent! In the 2nd week of January, Chad as Cher (CAMEO) finished the FON’s 2nd installment of their “Sharing the Castro” WIFI promotion featuring Chad as Cher. (I’ve attached them all from YOUTube here. There are 3 in total.) Also, there is one comedic CHER and one flawless Cher lookalike, don’t get it twisted, the flawless Cher is Chad. Fun stuff, and also that same day, we had Natalie and Emily pushing their Paris and Lindsay lookalike selves into a Sweet 16 party in Beverly Hills. Coming up this next weekend, we have Roger as Robin Williams delivering his routine to Legacy Design owner’s birthday party in Beverly Hills. Also, last weekend we had our Britney Spears lookalike and Anna Nicole Smith impersonator working with Perez Hilton on his new VH-1 show. So things started off well in 2008. Coming up at the end of February we have our lookalike Holly in her 1 woman lookalike show in Atlantic City for Rendezvous Travel. I hope to have some very exciting news in the weeks to come. So, prepare yourself. And remember if its Dan Gore, its ICONS, yo. The Lookalike King and Hiz World, coming to a podcast near you soon.

2008 Is Just The Beginning0

Hello Everyone, sorry I’ve been a bit stale on writing in my official ICONS blog. I am so happy that 2008 is here. Even within the first week of 2008, my phone has been ringing off the hook inquiring about lookalikes. Excellent! Confirmed bookings this week are Chad as Cher in San Francisco for FON’s new viral that will be coming out this year. Also, we are booking Suzanne’s Judy & Liza Together Again (without you know who) for North Fork Theatre in Westbury New York, thank you Ant! We have Holly working her one woman lookalike show in Atlantic City on February 19 for Ant. So that is pretty good. Inquiries today alone have been for Streisand lookalike, for an Oprah lookalike, and for a Bruce Springsteen lookalike, so its all good. Guy Guido made over the awesome Michael Jackson lookalike for my webpage, looking mighty good there CR. That is all for now, and I wish everyone a Happy New Year. One day several people will say “I don’t know what happen, what did we do?” and I’ll say to them “you f*cked up, that’s what you did. Such a Shame.”…. until fortune rains on me again… lookalike king signing off - dan gore
