The supposed charms of wax museums are totally lost on me. I don’t get the point. And thanks to global warming, this form of entertainment now seems more pointless than ever.
“Folks, if you’ll step over here, this puddle of melted wax used to be Lucille Ball, and that puddle over there was Richard Nixon…”
But here are the Madame Tussauds people again, turning perfectly good candles into figures of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, posing them grinning and waving like the Beverly Hillbillies’ closing credits. As often happens, our caption carefully tells which is which, just to avoid confusion.
Other wax museum posts: Why do we care? and Waxing silly…
