Madame Tussauds

On Saturday a few girlfriends and I went to Madame Tussauds for a girly afternoon out. Zaira had managed to use some sort of magic to get us two for one vouchers, though unfortunately her magic didn't work in making the queue go any faster, note to self (and others) Madame Tussauds on a Saturday afternoon has a rather large line, and it will take you two hours to get in. The two hour line didn't really seem to affect us, I hadn't seen the girls for a while so two hours went by rather quickly with us all having a good catch up chat.

Once we were in, it was a great adventure... we got to meet celebrities! I don't like to count the fact that they are made of wax. So we had our photo with Bruce Willis, got up close and personal with Leonardo DiCaprio and took some hot snaps with Christina Aguilera. After the first room, we managed to somehow get on the X Factor, the Madame Tussauds version. So we all put on our sunnies (because that's how we roll), and sing and dance the Peyonce (that was our band name), version of Single Ladies, by Beyonce. Though we must have looked and sounded absolutely horrific the judges gave us great feedback, especially Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowel.

 After our X Factor experience, we headed on through to see more celebrities. We got to see Marilyn Monroe, James Dean and Audrey Hepburn. There was also a sport and world leaders section which was fun, especially when Jayne decided to comb Hitler’s beard! The musical influence section was a bit of a hoot; I had my picture taken with Michael Jackson, and gave Justin Timberlake a peck on the cheek. 
 

 After all this excitement, we headed towards the scary part of the tour, so scary that only Jayne and I were brave enough to do it. Now I don't want to give away too much and spoil what goes on for those who are yet to go to Madame Tussauds, but walking through dark rooms with horrible noises and people that could either be wax or real all around, it is a tad creepy, but definitely worth it!

We were nearly at the end of our journey for the day, and we got to finish it off with a little cab ride through some of the history of London then a 4D experience like none other I've been to!
Madame Tussauds is a great afternoon out, and I would recommend it to anyone young or old, there is plenty to do and see there and would be great to go on one of London's rainy days when there isn't much happening outside.
