All about oddity

I am a firm believer in the value of oddity. As we have seen time and time again, the more bizarre something is, the more appealing it is to readers and reporters alike. 

I've come across some pretty strange things in the past, but nothing was quite like this. 

A few years ago at the University of Arizona, a woman went on a mission to become Paris Hilton's physical twin in an effort to combine Paris' looks with her own Midwestern beliefs and become a more positive role model for young girls. 

To do this, she underwent a major transformation that included daily workouts, dying her hair, getting fake nails put on, receiving spray tans and documenting all of this through photos that she took each day of her transformation and put up on her blog. 

Pretty strange, right? 

Somehow, it turned into one of the coolest stories I've written.
