Fake it till you make it: Elizabeth Holmes lookalikes take Washington Square Park

EVG regular Peter Brownscombe came across the latest lookalike contest in Washington Square Park yesterday — this one devoted to Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced Theranos founder convicted of defrauding investors. 

Contestants turned out in black turtlenecks, unblinking stares and other Holmes-inspired attire and mannerisms, presumably hoping to convince the judges they were the real deal...
There was also a second category for people impersonating Nathan Fielder, co-director of "You Can See Everything." 

No word on who won, but we're sure an independent laboratory thoroughly vetted the results...
