oh my word! i would NOT want this poorly executed and scary-looking wax figure of marilyn monroe (or any other for that matter) in my apartment - i couldn't sleep at night - waxy doppelgängers always give me a case of the creeps - i can't imagine who would want to buy such a thing! however now's your big chance if waxwork figures happen to float your boat - the hollywood wax museum is auctioning off a bunch of pieces from their celebrity collection ( starting may 1st) a portion of the proceeds will be donated to help preserve the infamous 'walk of fame' ( i visited the museum once - it's just around the corner from my place) they haven't announced their shutting down yet but i think it's probably inevitable with the wax industry leader madame tussauds moving into the neighborhood right down the block (opening this summer - next to grauman's chinese theatre) after being around since 1965 - it will be sad to see the hollywood landmark close but it's pretty rundown & dusty these days - it'll soon be time to close the doors! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo
PS you have to get a look at kate winslet's waxy twin - i couldn't tell who it was until i looked at the picture's caption - she looks more like kathy griffin! it's an awful rendition of her (along with james dean and elton john - in fact they're all quite terrible!)

I simply do not see the appeal in the wax figures, good or bad. That's seriously creepy.
