Wax On, Wax Off
written by John Chow on January 14th, 2007
Here are some more photos from the Dell CES party. By now, everyone should have figured out that Dell held their party at Madame Tussauds and all the rich and famous people were made of wax. Personally, I think if I didn’t post that picture of my hand on JLo’s butt, everyone would have thought those photos were real.
This collection of photos is not as realistic as the last set, but they are a lot funnier. We had a great time trying to come up with some creative poses. Some of the photos are believable, the rest are just silly. Enjoy!

Last one is the best. You are evil, I think thats why I read your blog.
That last picture is your best facial expression…looks like it hurt
Some of the girls look pretty real, just a little sweaty!
Remember “Don King” at the buffet? ROFL! Great pictures John!
Don King looks pretty believable, but what gives some of them away is that their hands can be pretty shiny/glossy.
i think don king takes the most realistic award, that is unbelievably good, when are they doing a John Chow wax copy
Definitely Don King. Tiger and George Clooney are the most fake.
WUaHaHaHahaha
The last picture LOL!
Rofl John, wonderful, looks like you guys have had a lot of fun there playing with the statues
John,
Guess you are right in your last posting you picture with JLo let it out to many people if not all.
In this set I liked the one where you hand is being bitten off… you expression makes it look real !
Hilarious!
the last 1 is too great
Man you are funny! I have never been to Madame Tussauds, but I will next time I am in London. Seems like hell lot of fun.

Excellent photos, glad to see you’re working hard
John, your RSS feed is really playing up for me at the moment – I can’t subscribe because it’s reported as invalid?
It is really fun, I have bin there in Amsterdam, First i thought.. damn.. boring..
but when i was there, and saw all the famous dolls.. it was really fun
The best ones are the ones where the figures are not placed in some sort of context. Tiger Woods with golf clubs???
Those are some great pictures. I’ve only been to the wax museum once but this reminded me of a few photos that we took. I love that last picture with the tiger.
Hef!
I have to go there some day
I had visited the Madame Tussauds at London a couple of years back. I visited the one at Amsterdam just before the new year. Though some of the statues are no doubt good some of them are of course not depicting the people as they are today which makes them look at lot unreal !
Anyways the museum is a must visit any day…
Any idea how much it costs to make one of these? They’re all very realistic, and yes without J-Lo they would have looked real!
soj asked, when are they doing John Chow’s wax copy? I thought they have already done it.
Please check the second to last picture. It looks like a real wax copy to me.
I agree, this is the fun part of John that makes me check his blog daily.
Love the pics. I figured that they were wax with the first post.
Do you post your address somewhere for the people that want to send you stuff?

I looked at the pictures first and thought the first couple was for real. Until I saw the one with Tiger Woods. So I decided to read the post.
Great set of pictures, John.
I knew at some point I would be asking you this question.
…who is that woman that you’re choking in the picture?
I agree with a lot of the folks in saying that the last one’s the best one. What a hoot!
Ed – That’s Buffy the Vampire Salyer. Sarah Michelle Gellar
Jenna Jameson doesn’t look as realistic as the others, tells you something about perfection eh? lol
Allen.H
the one with the tiger is just plain wrong
but i still like it.
The Jenna Jameson looks almost as fake as the real version.
Yea I like how Tiger Woods has a nice crowd in the back
spears should have k-fed in her sculpture…I would find it amusing.
That is too funny. I didn’t notice it was fake till about the fourth pic.
Thanks!
Justin Mooney
The Tiger Woods one gave it away
George Clooney also doesnt looks as realistic as some of the other ones
So John does this mean you’re the Heir to the Playboy Mansion now?
Do we get an invite to the Grotto?
Wax that arse!
I should have gone to Madame Tussaud’s the last time I was in Vegas. I didn’t go because I thought they were going to have the wax figures behind ropes and such. Now that I know that you can “interact” with them, so to speak, it sounds like a heck of a lot more fun. Not like the Ripley museum in Hollywood.
Nice pictures
Madame Tussauds is a lot of fun – they also had Tiger Woods and Britney in New York.
But what about the contest John? Didn’t you say the draw would be Monday?
I just announced the winner of the contest. And I announced a new contest too.
I think Celebrity Poker I have a hard time telling which are real.
Hue Heffner’s fingers are so glossy I would’ve caught that one..
Your facial expression from the tiger bite is surprisingly realistic =D
I have no idea who the celebrity poker guy is, but I thought it would be cool to get a picture of all of us sitting with him. Too bad we didn’t have any cards.
They don’t have any chips either.
you can get a custom one made of yourself if you like. It is about 300k (US). The article is on http://www.iwantoneofthose.com.
I’ll bet if you had a fund raiser John you would get enough donations to get one
lol I think 300k for that one is too much.. even for john. waste of money imo
haha you funny man.. you sure know how to pose for a picture!..
300k? Forget that. I can just look in the mirror.
Wow, that’s expensive.
What price is too much for one’s ego??
