Terry Richardson shoots a fun editorial called "American Idolatry" for V (Spring 2009) that features model Anna Selezneva mixing and mingling with various wax figures at Madame Tussauds in Times Square. I haven't been to that hole in years, and the terrible likeness of Madonna (above) is one reason why—any stars who do not sit for their dummies end up looking unrecognizably generic. But I looove the Hard Candy mosaic.
I actually got trapped in there once during a brief, building-wide black-out with my mom...it was troubling to be in the pitch black inside a wax museum, but the lights came back on before Vincent Price had a chance to snatch us.
