Apparently, Madame Tussaud's is pulling out some waxworks to fete the life and mourn the death of Michael Jackson. Which is a very fine idea, except ... well, see for yourself:

The outfit, which I'm sure is based on a real one, somehow comes off more like what a figure-skater would wear to perform a program set to England's most popular songs of national devotion. And that's because the face and hair... listen, every time I look up at this, I see a brunette Marcia Cross, which is something I PROMISE -- mostly to Marcia -- that I NEVER SAID or even THOUGHT during MJ's lifetime when I viewed him in the flesh. So it's not great for her, and this terrible thing really is the final indignity for a dude who, let's face it, suffered a lot of them because he was troubled. Not exactly the kind of memorial I would dream of, would you?
Before this thing's hideousness shuts down our brains entirely, then, I think it's time to check out for the GFY Birthday Long Weekend. Okay, so maybe for most people -- and, say, the government -- this long weekend has more to do with the birth of the United States of America, but whatever. WE KNOW THE TRUTH. Have a great one. Watch some fireworks, eat some grilled hot dogs, chug some beer, and above all, stop trying to imagine this waxwork MJ sitting in front of a mirror and ripping off her wig.
See you on Monday!
