It is our duty.Īlso Read: Attention WIT Students! The Vodafone X Campus Tour Is Coming For You! Surely, it is up to everyone with a shred of conscience left in their being to head to a Madame Tussaud's, or whatever wax museum happens to be nearest, with a small portable generator and a hair-dryer with a high-heat setting and to slowly reduce each and every unsettling celebrity likeness to little more than a puddle of semi-molten wax. Surely, it is only negligence for we as a people to let their existence go unchecked. I do not think it an overstatement to say that, even in these fractious times, the greatest problem facing humanity is the baffling continuance and acceptance of the existence of wax statues. When the photo was shown to the Game of Thrones actor, she described it as looking like 'her brother in mascara and a wig'. This culminated with Emilia Clarke's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The image of the waxwork, shared on Instagram, garnered international attention. Introducing ? character from #DaenerysTargaryen #Khaleesi #HouseOfTargaryen #GOT #LadyOfDragonstone ? ?

Waxworks seem fundamentally pointless on a profound scale. Such is the only possible outcome when someone has their photograph taken with a waxwork statue. You gather up the large serving bowl of chili con carne you'd brought for the pot luck and - having insisted that everyone scrape any remaining chili from their plates back into the bowl - take your leave, ashamed. "I'm sorry Ian!? How many waxen effigies of celebrated members of early 2000s manufactured pop groups have you had your photograph taken with? Huh? None! That's how many, because you've been too worried about your damn dog to live your life to the fullest!" A silence falls over the room, you sense it is your times to go. "Why are you bragging about a photo of yourself with a bad statue of H from Steps?" he probes. "Oh wait," pipes back Ian, "Is that not just a waxwork of H from Steps? It looked like it was in Madame Tussauds or something" Barely stifled laughter erupts around the room. And, sure, you'd be among the first to admit that the fingers on his other hand have seen better days.

The image flickers onto the screen, and you see yourself, smiling, an arm over the shoulder of H from Steps. "Yeah, it was a few months ago now," you say, swiping through your photos until you find the right folder, marked 'Me + H (from Steps)'. You blithely whip out your phone and - interrupting another one of Ian's infuriatingly long-winded stories about his dog's illness - ask, "Hey, would anyone like to see a photo of me with H from Steps?"Ī beat, as the room readjusts, and everyone tries to wash their minds of whatever boring thing Ian was saying about his dachshund's latest surgery, and brace themselves for the far more interesting story that you're about to throw their way. You decide to take the plunge, and unveil your secret, your trump card - the surefire piece of dynamite that can't help but seal off a perfect night. Your anecdotes have been well received, with everyone laughing at the right moments, and there being a genuine sense of suspense in the room in the build up to the punchlines. You feel you have been both pithy and interesting. Picture the scene, you are sitting at a dinner party, surrounded by friends.
