Please post pics! would be interesting to see.

When I went, I was at one of my lower weights. I looked like a hippo next to Miley Cyrus and Marilyn Monroe (size 14, yeah haha), but a normal size next to Robert Pattinson and Shrek. This was in London.

Not comfortable posting pics of myself, but would love to see yours!

    The only wax museum I've ever been to was in Tijuana and i tried to touch the wolf boy and nearly got thrown in a Tijuana jail. Not my brightest moment. I felt fat since I was really fat at the time.

    Was it for touching the wolfboy in general or was if for where you tried to touch the wolfboy?

    What happens in Tijuana.....

    And Wolfboy isn't talking

    Well this is random but I do happen to have a pic from Madame Tussauds....knew it would come in handy one day. Yes I felt fat but that's because I was in Amsterdam and had on so many friggin layers because it was SOOO cold!

    I feel super fat pretty much anywhere

    This. Also, that place also makes me feel like a giant when you realize how SHORT everyone is!

    It's b/c tv ppl are sooo super thin. I was on one of our local TV stations being interviewed by the anchor (my best friend was throwing a picnic for our local first responders and since he was also running for office at the time, he couldn't make the tv appearance) Well anyways the guy was SUPER TALL AND SUPER SKINNY! Like I originally thought oh, he's probably just a normal guy...in person- HOLY GOD HE COULD DOUBLE AS A BASKETBALL POLE!!
    Needless to say, I looked even MORE short and squat next to him on the tv screen! It was like a fence post was interviewing a hairy little bridge troll.

    Off topic, but this thread made me think of it

    Anyone have a "fat mirror", like one mirror that makes you look fatter than others? I notice this at stores sometimes too.

    I was surprised by how tiny Madonna really is...

    Kim Kardashian is shorter than I imagined...and my butt was bigger than hers at the time. I didn't feel fat...I felt awesome!

    I feel fat next to the whales at Seaworld.

    jk — I would never go to Seaworld. Go to an art museum and check out the luscious ladies of just about every period of European art up to Modern.

    But no wax celebrities :cry:

    I don't feel super fat there, but I do feel insanely tall. Lots of famous people are SHORT! And I'm not that tall a person!

    Also, the last time I visited, I got smug satisfaction out of doing stupid stuff:

    These were on display years ago and were a traveling exhibit. :)

    @CanesGalactica Your pictures are definately more fun then mine :-) I'll have to go back someday, hopefully there is something similar in Australia. I went to the one in London.

    You should! The traveling exhibits always get new stuff as does the one in Hollywood (if you ever get to visit it).

    Those pictures are kinda old (from 2011). I wish I still looked like that, lol. Still, what I learned from wax statues is that most of the people they portray are super short and that I look like a giantess next to *most* of them, even if I was rail thin (which I'm not).

    It has been years since I have been there but most celebrities that I have met in person were extremely skinny. Even some of the ones that seem "curvy" on TV like Halle Berry and Tyra Banks were tiny. Nicholas Cage was very tall and skinny. The camera does add 10 lbs.
