Enjoy your stay here.

Thanks Brian Damage

I got a question. Has anyone ever been to one of those wax museums? I know they have them in other places but I can't see how looking at molds of people can be fun. Is there more to it than that?

EmoJoe · 05-22-2006, 08:43 PM

Basically no, what you see is what you get.

gilligan fanatic · 05-22-2006, 08:52 PM

I will take a picture of me with my buddy Richard Nixon and post it here-lol

I was reading the list at the museum and I think its weird they have a Jerry Springer mold but nobody from GI.

OH MY GOD MADAME TUSSAUDS. You will love it!!!! They are only in select large cities in the world. I went to Madame Tussauds in London in 2004, and I loved it! You should consider yourself lucky to go to the Madame Tussauds in NYC. I wanted to go check it out while I was in NYC, but I didn't have time.

It's very very cool - the wax figures are VERY life-like...some of them are even configured to talk. They have different sections of the museum, like political figures, actors/actresses, singers, horror movies, Golden Era people, etc. Some of the more recent celebs they make a figure out of have donated their own clothing for their figures. They have a Whoopi Goldberg figure at the Tussauds in London, and Whoopi donated one of her own outfits for her figure.

Anyway, have fun in NYC!

And be prepared for the human body exhibit at the Seaport too! (NOT KIDDING!

Have a great time in NYC. Chinatown is next to Little Italy (if you have the time) and there's a great Italian restaurant in Little Italy called Da Mela--no menu--they just keep bringin' the food out.

gilligan fanatic · 05-23-2006, 05:46 PM

PZelda: wow it sounds a lot funner now

The talking ones should be a lot of fun.

Steve M.: Human body exhibit
