Karen thanks for the photos but I think that the last one might be of John Singer Sargent's portrait of his mothe.

I could be wrong and I've never been there.

Wasn't it whistlers mother?

I never knew cleopatra was crosseyed. She looks like she is taking it up the ass's milk!

Apparently, the Madame Tussaudes model of Kyle Manogue (can't spell) had to have a new bottom because everyone was rubbing it. In the 80's Mrs Thatcher had the largest number of visitors taking photos of her model with someone sticking the v sign up at it.

I like the idea that when you are no longer famous you get melted down and turned into someone else. What an insult. I'd hate to be turned into a star I hated.

The one of bill gates was another artist I believe and yes it does seem a bit crude and my camera did not help!

In some cases when a person dies the model is replaced with a younger version.. E:G Churchill..When alive the model is more or less how the person is at the time. After death they bring out the old moulds so you see Churchill in his heyday during the Second World War. Some of Madam Tussauds are pretty life like..e.g Blair but others are not so good. I haven't been for years.

There is also..

RD that looks like a maturer version of Twiggy aka Leslie nee Hornby now Lawson

I thought the Vegas version of Cameron Diaz was very realistic.

I think the female movie-star waxworks look more like "the real thing" because they both have painted faces,
(i.e. male movie-stars wear less make up than their females counterparts.)
