Carrie Underwood Wax Figure Unveiled: Who’d You Like To See In Wax?
What is that? Evil twin, or wax figure perfected by a team of experts for use in a shameless tourist-trap?
The Madame Tussauds in New York just unveiled the Carrie Underwood wax figure on Thursday.
The 25-year-old “American Girl” posed for pics with the statue while a deluge of camera flashes assailed her. It was the first time she’d seen the figure, which was placed in the “VIP Room” of the museum.
A saucy Underwood
The wax figure shows a saucy Underwood standing with hands on hips, wearing a sparkly pink replica of the short dress she wore to the 2006 CMA Awards show. This was the night she won her first Female Vocalist of The Year award, which she won again in 2007. Underwood donated the Trish Townsend frock to the museum.
“It was mainly just a couple of people met us out on the road and like did a lot of measurements, a lot of picture taking,” she is quoted in the The Oklahoman as saying. “I had to stand still for a long time while they did their thing.”
The last figure to be unveiled was the Tyra Banks model (no pun intended). The Tyra Banks Show host and Top Model creator is now hanging out in the “Opening Night Party” room.
Others who wax poetic
The New York museum also houses such legendary figures (with legendary figures) as Jennifer Lopez and Aniston, Jessica Simpson, Leo DeCaprio, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Britney Spears, the Spice Girls, Harrison Ford, and Marilyn Monroe.
There are also such world and political leaders as Bill and Hillary Clinton, our present prez George W., Fidel Castro, and Princess Diana. And then there are all those historical dead people, like Helen Keller, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Rosa Parks.
Here’s a question for you
Here’s a question: who’d you want to see as a wax figure… someone that no one else seems to love? There are so many greats who will never make it- (Ronald McDonald, for instance, I don’t think we’ll see… thank goodness for all those bench statues) topping my personal wish list is the actress who played Anne of Green Gables, Meagan Follows. But it’ll never happen; no one knows who she is.
And Michael Buble. Will we ever see Michael Buble? I doubt it; he’s just not quite big enough. And then what about the SNL cast? What about Sarah Palin, after all this ruckus is over and the election is lost? What about Tina Fey as Sarah Palin? That should be a statue.
