Even better than the real thing

December 6, 2007 in Nicole Kidman, Rockers and Popstars with 2 Comments

Look I can raise my eyebrows

How is it that the wax version of Nicole Kidman looks infinitely more approachable and capable of emotional expression than the actress herself?  The secret to humanising Nicole lies in months of painstaking detail and craftsmanship and possibly reading gossip magazines about where it all went wrong:

Designers spent about three months creating the figure, unveiled overnight in London, based on thousands of photographs of the Australian actress.

As opposed to the few minutes it took to find a headless store mannequin, attach something that barely passes for LeAnn Rimes’ face and slap on foundation that’s three shades too dark.

Short end of the stick

    Yikes — I thought that the wax Nicole was actually the real Nicole at first. I don’t know if that says good things about the wax artists, or frightening things about Nicole.

    While it was loading the picture, I thought it was Nicole. Then it got to the mouth, and I thought, oh, never mind. I’m pretty sure her mouth isn’t that big – or her lips aren’t that full, or something… at least they didn’t put in the way her eyes always look sort of red.
