News- Amy Winehouse Checks into Madame Tussaud's

The London Madame Tussaud's introduced a wax figure of singer Amy Winehouse this week. The figure includes all of Amy's trademark "style" and attitude. In fact, the figure looks far better than the real Singer, a rare feat for the industry.


A closer view of the singer.


And another angle.

Calico Ghost Town- Home Sweet Home

This scene at the Calico Ghost Town shows what life in the town was like back when it was a profitable silver mining town. This woman is preparing a meal, and it sure was more time consuming back then. Especially with that huge mane of hair on her head.


A closer look at the figure.


The view from another angle. She is very focused on her job.

Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf- Benjamin Franklin

A couple of posts ago I shared some images of the Founding Fathers. The picture did not have Benjamin Franklin, so I thought that I would share this shot of him from the Wax Museum at Fisherman's Wharf. Here we see Franklin sitting alone. In this museum, he's also not next to the other American leaders. I guess he just doesn't get any respect.

The figure is done moderately well in my opinion. I'm just so used to the Franklin seen on money.
