It’s not just about Gaga… Barbadian pop singer Rihanna will also be forever immortalized as a heavy hitter in the music industry. A wax figure of RiRi has just been revealed by the Madame Tussauds Museum in Washington D.C.!
"Bad Romance"
Lady Gaga is about to add another record to her ever-growing collection by becoming the first person in history to be immortalized – at all 10 locations – in Madame Tussauds wax museum.
It’s October, and that can mean only one thing: Halloween is taking hold and won’t let go ’til we’re all ready to sit down for some turkey dinner. Check out some of NYC’s top Halloweenie attractions that are getting set to scare the bejeebus out of you this year…

So, if you’ve been having fantasies about neck biting, and vampire woo-ing, well turn off True Blood and head to Times Square.

MoVA:
In the meantime if you’re looking to get your blood curdling, hit up the brand new Museum of Vampyric Artifacts complete with haunted house. The Museum of Vampyric Artifacts just opened its doors in NoHo. Much like it’s vampy theme, the museum is one thing by day and another by night. During the day MoVA is a regular ole museum, with guided tours, artifacts and exhibits that make you wonder if vampires are actually real. (Disclaimer: No. They are not. Robert Pattinson is just really pale.)
At night the museum changes themes, once the sun goes down the exhibit goes live and transforms into a haunted house, in fact it turns into New York’s annual gigantor Nightmare Haunted House-yup, that’s the one with all the posters in the subway.
This year all the entertainment is human, so no more worries about rats being let loose at your feet. Give me some candy corn and a ticket and I think I’m all set for Halloween this year. Are you goingg?
Vampire Nightmares @ NOHO Event Center

Have you seen the BODIES exhibit, hosted all around the world, but most specifically in South Street Seaport for us New Yorkers? If you haven’t, it’s a morbidly fascinating education on the human body, if not a serious appetite suppressant. Donated bodies (also a bit of a political drama), are treated in a way that allows their muscles, sinews, and organs to be perfectly preserved, through a process called plastination.
While before, I could chalk the whole exhibit up to being an educational field trip, the newest addition to the world of BODIES is a bit much… even for me. The latest addition to the BODIES exhibit hasn’t hit the American audience yet, first making the rounds in Europe, a generally less squeamish society. What’s to be squeamish about, well, the new show in Europe, called Life Cycles, shows life through conception to death, with a display of two “bodies” having sex. You know, because that’s how conception starts.
Side note: Weirdest “so what do you do” conversation ever: “Uhh, well, I make dead bodies pumped full of plastic and completely skinned, have sex. The health insurance is great.”

Yes, the point of the exhibit is to educate the viewing audience on conception and how it is done, but the argument can be made that ‘how it is done’ has never been a problem for the human race to figure out. Especially now that there’s cable. One could even argue that the necro-voyeuristic exhibit could kill (no pun intended) the global sex drive. I for one, have to say, the idea of two dead folks stuck forever in coitus, without so much as an epidermis, is not exactly an aphrodisiac.
Having said all of that, if it came to New York, I would see it, because it’s just too weird not to.

It’s been a crazy summer folks. I hardly remember the first month and a half, because it just seems like a bad rainy dream. The sun has come out recently, with renewed vigor and now that the calendar is inching closer and closer to Fall, I’ve made a list to remind myself (and you) of all the things to do before summer ends.
