Emulate: (Verb) Match or surpass (a person or achievement), typically by imitation.

Ali Lohan has started shooting her first film, R.L. Stine's Mostly Ghostly, in which the 14-year-old  will play a "popular high school senior." Recently the Mini-ohan told Teen Vogue:

"I grew up watching Lindsay, and it made me want to do what she does. Just the whole vibe. Being there, being on camera, or onstage, with everybody listening to you…it's so cool when people look up to you. I've already been asked for my autograph, and it's just a really good feeling to have."

Well, being that Lindsay Lohan looks like she's 37 at 21, I can't think of a better way for Ali to emulate her sister than playing a high school senior at 14. This way, she'll be ready for those meaty "stripper whore" roles by the time she's 17; and by 21 she should likewise be finishing up her third tour of rehab. And the great circle of life turns again!
