WTF on East Coast Drive: 'My best friend has turned into a chronic copycat'
Updated | By East Coast Drive
Cute or obsessive? What would you do if your best friend tried to turn themselves into you?
Having a best friend normally means that two individuals spend a considerable amount together, and it's quite possible to mimic each other's styles over time.

However, where do you draw the line? Matching items of clothing can be cute, but when they start copying your style of clothing, cars, and even men, it can start becoming a bit creepy.
This was the case for a woman who wrote in to Bongani and Mags, desperately seeking advice...
Hey Bongani and Mags. I have a best friend who is literally trying to become me. She has started dressing the same as me, she bought the same car in the same colour, she's starting to sound like me when she speaks and now she has asked me if she can date my ex-boyfriend. Is this normal? What do I do? Please help.- Anonymous
Should she feel flattered or is it just outright creepy? We'll let you be the judge.
