Well, the most talked about physical difference between the two is the famous mole on Tamera's left cheek. In the first three seasons of "Sister Sister", however, the producers decided to camouflage this distinctive difference by putting a mole on Tia as well. A fake mole, that is. By the end of the third season, the fake mole on Tia was dropped.

Speaking of moles - Tamera's got another one on the upper center of her chest, right were the ornament of her necklace usually is. Often this mole is the easiest way to identify her. She's got a similar sized mark high on the right side of her neck approximately 3 inches below the ear.

Tia's got a mole on the right side of her neck as well, but at the baseline almost covered by her necklace. Actually, Tamera has got one the exact same place, but that one is so small it's only visible on close-up's.

In addition Tia's got a small mark on the front of her left shoulder. But it's covered by clothes in most episodes.
These are the physical differences, that you'll first learn to recognize when you start watching their show. My personal experience, however, is that after having watched a couple of episodes it becomes rather easy to tell them apart, just by a quick glance on their faces. It's kind of difficult to explain. Being identical twins, it's a known fact that their faces are build of exactly the same stuff. So any differences must lie in distinctive facial expressions. To be more specific Tia usually has a more serious expression on her face while Tamera often has a slightly "goofy" appearance (no offence Tamera!).

This is probably in accordance with the characters they play in the show where Tamera is the more sloppy, less studios twin. Anyway - in my opinion it makes Tia's face look slightly more round and Tamera's slightly more oval. It's the little things that make the difference, like the way Tia squeezes her eyes and wrinkles her eyebrows. I think the picture to the right is a typical example that clearly illustrates these features. It's got a hint of what I mean. At the picture under...It's Tamera to the left.

In the first seasons of "Sister Sister" Tia and Tamera tended to be more different in appearance than in the most recent seasons. The scripts had a part in this, of course, since the different personalities of the twins where a main issue in the early seasons. But I've noticed that over the years Tia and Tamera have grown to look more alike - physically. I think it has become a little harder to tell them apart. Especially in still pictures. But as soon they start speaking - no problemo!

These physical changes were particularly noticeable between the third and fourth season. You can literally see the twins have grown. They really must have taken their vitamins, 'cause during the summer of '96 they practically went from small girls to young women.

Prettier than ever...
