Personal Madame Tussauds Wax Figure

Filed under: Art

It always makes the gossip blogs when a different celebrity gets their own wax figure at Madame Tussauds. Unless you're a celebrity, however, odds are that you're not likely to make it into the main collection any time soon. But that doesn't mean that you can't have your own likeness sculpted from wax, should you be interested in such a thing. You can order a custom Wax Figure from Madame Tussauds for only £150,000 ($291,000). The sculpture takes a team of twenty people 4 months to complete and the price includes all the sittings needed to obtain accurate measurements in the Madame Tussauds London studio.

Soy candles seem to be getting more and more popular, but jummyjane's Embers Candles offer s unique feature that most other candles do not. They are made with cosmetic-grade wax that has a low melting point and can be poured off of the candle and used as a massage oil. The all natural paraffin-free wax is enhanced with "natural plant extracts to nourish the skin" and is available in three different scents: habanero and grapefruit, ginger and date, and lychee and lapsang. Price: $48.

One of my favorite sites, SonicFlare.com, has a great post on high end turntables. Though he makes no mention of the Caliburn turntable, Josh talks about the Monaco player, the Gaia, and an update on the Garrard 301. Lots of fun links for wax lovers, so take a peek.
