Meet the dynamic duo from Detroit, sisters Alexandria Bishop and Jessica Toutant, who look nothing alike. The twosome’s currently taking Twitter by storm, all thanks to a single tweet that got more than 468,000 likes (and counting).
Alexandria uploaded some photos that show just how different her and Jessica’s sense of style is and how contrasting their homes are. “My sister and I are polar opposites,” Alexandria wrote on Twitter. In the photos, she looks serious and has dark hair and clothing. Meanwhile, Jessica smiles brighter than the sun and has rainbow-colored hair that would make even My Little Pony characters insanely jealous.

Their homes are also on opposite sides of the style spectrum. Jessica’s is vivid. Colorful. Inviting. And it has an inflatable pool with a floating alicorn (that’s a winged unicorn, in case you were wondering). Alexandria’s home has a “Go Away” mat at the front door… right next to a mini-coffin.
Jessica’s home is colorful and inviting, while Alexandria’s is a bit darker but equally full of amazing stuff. Their sense of style is also radically different

Inside, dozens of movie posters, drawings, photos, and skulls adorn her walls, plants line her windowsills, and there’s even fake ivy ‘growing’ near her door. Alexandria also owns an awesome shower curtain with a bat, plenty of geeky items, and has a cool cup collection. As you would probably expect, Jessica’s home is full of bright colors and cozy comforts.
Alexandria’s photos went viral. Immediately. Her post was retweeted more than 71,000 times and got over 2,800 comments. That’s not to mention the 8,000+ likes and 150 comments on Instagram.

According to the self-taught special effects makeup artist, body painter, sculptor and illustrator Alexandria, she had no idea her tweet would become so popular. “I was watching my nieces in Jessica’s yard today and I took a photo of her fence and decided to post it!” Alexandria told BuzzFeed. “The most surprising things go viral — I’ll never understand!”
Alexandria guessed her and Jessica being polar opposites might have something to do with their age difference — an astounding 8 years!
“Jessica and I have a pretty big age gap, so we naturally have been interested in different things,” she said to BuzzFeed. “Our style only became drastically different when we became adults and started dressing how we truly wanted.”

The fact is, siblings really can grow up to be opposites. Even identical twins. It’s impossible for two people — any two people — to have exactly the same experiences from the moment they’re born. Different life experiences develop distinct personalities.
According to Gerd Kempermann, a behavioral geneticist at the Dresden University of Technology and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Disease in Germany, an experiment with mice demonstrated that even genetically identical animals behave differently. These differences grow with time. So, it’s no wonder that Alexandria and Jessica’s age gap had such a profound effect on how they look and live now.
Alexandria’s tweet went viral and became immensely popular. Social media users posted plenty of comparisons in response

Internet users also had plenty of hilarious comments about the sister duo from Detroit
Right! Who knew? Everyone with a sibling or two, maybe?

Celestia and Luna are also part of the club, literally representing day and night respectively.

Not at all. They seem exactly like close siblings.

"We are unique, just like everyone else". This isn't different. Just opposite sides of the "I'm super trendy let me show you" coin. Let's profile a religious fundamentalists sibling living off the grid compared to a secularist sibiling working in Silicon Valley, that would be opposites. These girls just shop in different sections of the same mall.
@Victoria...or people that spend their lives trying to tear people down compared to people that try to encourage diversity by giving praise. Why do people think it's their job to call people fools for believing in themselves? Does it harm you in anyway that they posted this? It this interfering with your life and how you live it? You're not educating anyone or making right a horrible wrong..so why even leave this comment? SMH

Both homes are awesome! I would say I lean towards the goth sister's tastes more as they are very similar to mine but I do love that rainbow fence!
I think this is just another example of people having too much time on their hands to analyze things that do not really matter...
I actually don’t think they seem that different at all, style included. A lot of goths also do that cyber punk rainbow brite thing. If you’ve ever dabbled in that scene, it’s all the same s**t. Dark goths and candy ravers go hand in hand. Definitely same scene, same attitude of counter-culture, same circles of people, and for sure same personality types. The only thing different is the colors. And those living rooms are both hideous. 🤷🏻♀️
Came here to say exactly this, except I kinda like the rooms.

They think 8 years is a big age gap? Try 11 and 13 years with my brothers and I
Way cool. Good on ya both! Be yourselves and don't ever let people around you think you need to conform.
Honestly....I see the crazy hair colors and home looking like a rainbow threw up and I think she is not balanced in the head.
Neither of them are happy wearing their oen hair. A sad sad reality of a millenial woman?
Cool. If your reading this I hope you have a great day and know. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV
Me and my twin sister (not identical) are complete opposites. First of all imagine the most popular blond tan chick who is obsessed with boys and that’s her. Now imagine a slightly gothic grunge chick with boy short hair and a love for video games and that’s me. To be honest we don’t get along but for some reason we have the same friends. Our friends are half like her and half like me so it’s pretty interesting.
My hair is blue to dark purple at the ends yet I am the darker one of my sister and I.
That's no really surprising. Siblings always pine for their own identity. My sister and I grew up with two different personalities, she was bubbly and I was sarcastic- I think it's normal to carve out your own identity- of course you'll both have some things in common, but this really is nothing special in personal identity.
I'm both combined and I've never really figured out how to live like myself People have seen one side and think you're faking the other, and it reeeaally throws me off when they seen you're also a whole spectrum of everything else in between.
Don't care about people. Live your life as you feel like. People will try to label you and "pigeonhole" you, but you have the right to do what makes you happy.

I kinda like both I love goth but I love colour too, although I do tend to wear more goth stuff and live more goth but I do enjoy colours!!
Like Death and Delirium from Neil Gaiman's Sandman books.
I am one of 4 daughters. The youngest and also the free spirit of the 4. Funny thing is, that I have a twin sister. You will not even THINK that we are family, never mind sisters! The all have blond hair, I have dark brown hair. They all are girly girls. I am, well, not.
Reminds me of the game MySims. You have the perky upbeat colorful DJ living next to the gloomy dark loner that reads tarot cards. And for those of you making negative comments...lighten up
Still seems like they both just really want attention one way or the other.
I have 3 sisters and I'm the introvert... not a spontaneous bone in my body... Meanwhile, they light up the world with smiles and hugs... Okay.. I"m smiling inside. :D
S**t this is me. One day I'm like oH mY gOd LeMmE lOoK lIkE a UnIcOrN bArFeD oN mE and the next day I'm like I am edgar Alan Poe reborn
That’s why I don’t think these sisters seem that different. It’s not uncommon at all that someone would switch between those two styles. They go hand in hand.

"Dude, I think I'm homosexual!" "wut...?" ............ "RAAAAINBOOOOOWS"
There are plenty of siblings who look different from one another. So no need to attack their mother with that disrespectful comment of yours. Siblings can get different genes from the same parents. Also, one of the sisters weights more than the other and weight gain can make one look even more different from what the person might have looked like if the person was in shape.
