Madame Tussauds

29 Aug 2010 - I have never been to the Madame Tussauds Museum on The Hong Kong Peak. I remember seeing the waxed figures for the first time in London many years ago, and they looked somewhat scary - almost ghost-like. Also, most wax figures did not really look like the original, because there was no light in their eyes and no soul in their guts. Madame Tussauds Hong Kong Manager Kitty Tang explained in an interview how her staff walks around every morning from 8 am to 10 am to ensure the wax figures look perfect. The hair needs to be tidied and they need to zip up the male figure's pants as visitors are very curious to see if some special body parts are wax as well. Shirts need to be replaced because they get covered with lipstick. People also shake hands with the figures, so a set of spare hands is available because the hands get dirty. The most popular figures in Hong Kong are Jackie Chan and Andy Lau. Unzipped and covered in lipstick.
