Your lover will never forget… Wait, no, they’ll never forgive you if you have one of these frightening replicas made, either of your face or theirs. Apparently ThatsMyFace can create a passable resemblance of you from one straight-on shot and one profile shot. I’d think they’d want a few more data points, but you can’t argue with results.

You can, however, argue with the price: $2000 for a full head and $300 for a mask, although they do throw in a free appraisal of your looks (thanks, guys). I’m holding out for a bust in marble, personally.
