Throwing Stones at Wax Houses




Last Sunday, I took my son and five of his friends to celebrate his birthday at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum is located in the heart of the theater district in New York's Times Square.


We drove over to my Taurus wagon. That's right, six normal-sized 12-year-old boy and me. For you super sized SUV owners who could envision my car as a four-wheel-'50s version of the phone booth stuffing stunt, on May surprise you to know that little bull has room for eight - seven in a row if you want to safely store drinking somewhere other than at the top roof.


I've never been to the wax museum before and knew nothing of Madame Tussaud's beyond the fact that like all tourist attractions, its acts right of me to leave the museum have been exhausted, without money and vague, but persistent idea that employees snickered at me whenever I turned back.


In an attempt to stop snickering at least until we entered the exhibit, my wife scoured the Internet for discounts and found one where I could buy two adult tickets at $ 25 and get one child ticket free. According to her calculations, the total cost should be $ 119, but the cashier charged me $ 144. I do not know why, I only know the row behind me was all the more and more contentious as the exasperated cashier confused over the promotion for more than twenty minutes until finally coming to the magic number of $ 144. The transaction was so long, I can only assume an additional $ 25 charge for accommodation.


We were finally after walking for the last twelve feet wax replica of the Hulk, which to me was a strange choice to begin with because it has no real life equivalent of the Hulk. What can you say? "Wow! He looks exactly like ... that cartoon character in thecomic book .Well ,let'ssee what others have ."


then we went to expose the premiere party, where everyone who is anyone on the floor and attached with screws in attendance. We have seen Woody Allen, Bette Midler, Nicolas Cage, Hugh Grant, Oprah, even the wax version of Jennifer Lopez, who was rumored that he was briefly engaged to the wax version of Harrison Ford.


similarity, and attention to detail is incredible, and although the figure of wax, I saw no hint of the wick sticking out of someone's head.


After the party we waited in line for the excruciatingly slow Chamber of Horrors, an exhibition which cost an additional $ 3 As we stood in place for more than fifteen minutes of listening to endless audio loop actor Hugh Jackman is a fruitless pitch for his poorly received film "Van Helsing", I heard my son Jack whisper to their friends that they should have called the Chamber of Attraction Waiting,


I wish I could tell you what we experienced in the chamber of horrors. It was dark, there were real people dressed like devils, who mumbled incoherently as Popeye, occasionally I noticed a little bag hanging from the ceiling, and then less than a minute and a half after we entered, we were driven in a brightly lit room as moles suddenly exposed to sunlight and when our students complete dilation, the first thing we saw was a wax replica of the NBC Today's Al Roker, prompting a friend of my son Ben said: "It's really getting scary ."


There were dozens of other famous wax figures from the world of sport, politics and entertainment, but after a while he began to feel less like a museum, and as more trade me. Also, as a public service announcement to avoid the kind of heart breaking disappointment I've witnessed in the family apple growers who went all the way from Canada - no, I repeat not -. exhibit contains a wax fruit


For me the most impressive of all is the figure of the black clad, diminutive mogul Madame Tussaud's wax yourself. If the rankings, was a very small woman, and could have made ​​one hell of a life as a jockey. But she turned the job of making wax replicas of the French head of countless victims of the guillotine during the 18th century into one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. As we turned toward the door, I gave the old Madame little pat on the back to acknowledge her entrepreneurial spirit, and just at that moment I heard this spine tingling, high cackle.


Does anyone know what giggle sounds in French?

Do You Still Want Your 15 Minutes Of Andy Warhol's Promise Of Fame? Here's One Way And It Works




Have you had your 15 minutes of fame that Andy Warhol promised us all. And if not, how was it? I had several hours to be back in the late 1980-and when I made ​​the bus in Washington, DC, which is "theater", music and actors in it are called Scandal Tours.


It was fun for awhile, but believe it or not, has become boring, media interviews daily etc., and frankly, I enjoy the business after several months

.

had another brush with fame when I was not even trying to create a cartoon on the Internet called the London Times cartoon. I had no idea I had become "famous" until I looked at the counter and saw
million visitors over the counter since 2005. So I can honestly say, it does not change my life. I did not go out and buy a Ferrari or a big house on the ocean. I think I could though. Too tired now and frankly enjoy peace and tranquility, and all offers to hold an ad. The cost of living is low and a lot more energy can be spent being creative than "playing the fame game ".


I used to live in New York during the day Andy Warhol. I spent days in a public relations internship and nights trying to be a stand up comic. (I was no Jay Leno, believe me), but I could write funny lines. So I kept writing funny lines, putting them away in a shoe box for future use. I had no idea what that future use will be, but I knew they were funny from the feedback I've received from friends and associates.


I was not impressed with the philosophy of Andy Warhol, although I do not think he gave an accurate description of America's fascination with fame. It is difficult to achieve. When he was not writing or drawing, from socializing with some of America's top Hollywood associates. He had an agenda, to be known. It worked. People do not get famous drawing of Campbell's soup cans or Marilyn Monroe (although many are drawn to them), he made ​​it a political movement to become famous.


A year ago, I had an idea. I decided to take one of America's favorite celebrities in history, Marilyn Monroe, and one of America's most notorious Charles Manson and find a way to combine them into a cartoon. I knew I was good at caricatures so I agreed with Spain in the best caricature artist "Gog, " and he brought my idea. I named it Marilyn Manson.


I proved that a good many people got the (expected frowns), even some people said I was sick

.

What they did not realize that the cartoons had absolutely nothing to do with Charles Manson, Marilyn Monroe, or Marilyn Manson, it had to do with the American fascination with celebrity and fame.
It is a reflection of our dreams, hopes, desires and ambitions.


This is shown by the positive and negative aspects of fame and celebrity. It shows the power of celebrity and how easy it is to come, though it seems so elusive that much. No, a celebrity per se is not important at all (Charles Manson proved that he was behind bars for half a century, unfortunately, Marilyn, who contributed a lot, but actually was only the beginning, died premature deaths

..

Finally, people (my cartoon fans) began to "get it". We really do not stay that way too fascinated with the "other half lives. the great irony is, everyone can be a star with more than fifteen minutes of fame, if he / she does not let obstacles, naysayers, etc. to pull them down.


Believing in myself and the talent is really important, but they are constantly improving and staying
persistent is the key to your 15 minutes or more. I've had far more than my share and I can assure you I feel no different, have the same emotions, and continues to sit on the floor and pet my stray dog​​, as well as reading Grisham, do not go to fancy restaurants more often prefer to eat raw vegetables at home, and even returned to school as an adult student to major in business.


So it's not fame or celebrity that is important, it was seriously as you take it. My first time around, when I was in my twenties and thirties, I took it very seriously. I am haunted every comedy nightclub every night in New York. I sent out resumes. I tried to get on Letterman and Carson (who was the host at that time). He has remained elusive.


Now I can relax and not my "funny paper" on the Internet. I do not even try for fame or celebrity. I am not even sure what is more. Of course, this does not mean "leadership. " This often means the opposite.


If you get a chance to look at my Marilyn Manson cartoons, or the goods and let me know if you see something that you're angry. If not, you probably "get it ". You know we were, somewhere along the line, misled about the importance of fame, fortune and all that goes with it.


Believe me, the cartoon is not about either of those two people. It is about our response to the
two celebrities, icons, if you will, who headed the opposite lives, Norma Jean (Marilyn) at least tried to make a positive contribution, Manson is not his best (and succeeded) in doing the opposite.


A little trivia. Remember the Monkees in the 1960s? Two famous people tried out for the Monkees and did not make it. Ready? Stephen Stills and ... You guessed it. Charles Manson. Again, the proof everyone feels entitled to his 15 minutes.


Sit back, relax, do your work, market, blog, write, learn and every day you'll be adding more than 15 minutes Mr. Warhol promised.
