Posted September 25, 201014 yr http://www.expressandstar.com/wp-content/uploads/xmlImages/PA/2010/09/N0007571285323163044A.jpg GWEN STEFANI WAXWORK MADE "The Hollaback Girl singer is the latest celebrity to be honoured with her own waxwork figure after legendary museum Madame Tussauds was inundated with requests for a model of Gwen to be made. Madame Tussauds' general manager Rosita Chapman said: "We are very excited to have Gwen Stefani's figure added to our attraction! She's consistently rated high on our request list, so we are very pleased to bring her figure to all her loyal fans." The 40-year-old singer smiled for the cameras as she posed alongside her waxwork double at the launch of the figure on Wednesday in Las Vegas. It costs $300,000 to produce the lifelike figurine, and experts reportedly spent six months perfecting the No Doubt singer's appearance from 250 measurements and photographs. Las Vegas Weekly's Robin Leach reports: "The new Gwen Stefani figure took 350 hours to sculpt and 175 hours to mould. Each strand of hair, weighing 10 ounces in total, was inserted individually and then styled, taking some 140 hours over five weeks to complete. Other fun facts include 28 hours spent on her teeth and 14 hours spent on her eyes." Gwen's new figure will join a galaxy of star statues including Snoop Dogg, United States President Barack Obama, Michael Jackson and Madonna." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Surprised she didn't have one already to be honest!
September 25, 201014 yr It looks really good! :o Although I'd prefer it if it was based on her more recent image, rather than what she looked like 10+ years ago!
September 25, 201014 yr Isn't the Gwen on the left the real one and the right the waxwork LOL? I guess it's pretty damn good if I can't tell which is which...
September 25, 201014 yr Well here's another image: http://newsinabox.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/gwen-stefani-wax-figure.jpg So it's the one on the (original) right, (above) left.
September 25, 201014 yr Yeah so the one you said is what she looked like 10+ years ago is actually the real one and the waxwork is styled more like 'recent' Gwen!
September 25, 201014 yr LOL no. I said the one with the quiff is 10 years ago Gwen! The sexy one is real. :wub: [btw Jark - are you actually gonna VOTE in the family fortunes task?]
September 25, 201014 yr What do you mean vote? I've sent my answers... Wax Gwen is styled like 2004/5 sort of thing, the real one looks more 90s in terms of hair and clothing there!
September 25, 201014 yr (yeah, that's what I meant - just you were on the non-voting list for a while D:) Well I meant wax Gwen doesn't look very current + I don't like the hairr. Real Gwen looks fitt. :heart:
