A Wax People Party!

17.6.10

Holy Moly, it's my last day in New Cross! My flight is very early Saturday so one of my flat mates (she also has an early flight that day) and I are spending tomorrow at a hotel closer to the airport.

Since all my things are packed up, it's a perfect time for blog updating!! My friend Torrey and I visited Madame Tussuad's Wax Museum a few days ago. It was crazy! Some of the models looked very realistic and some not so much, and there were even a few who looked like they had had a few too many kisses and hugs ;p

It was very crowed when we went so we couldn't get to all the models we wanted to get pictures with, but it was still fun. All the models are life size and have all the correct measurements. It is surprising to see how tall/short some of these people are in "real life".


Off to a good start with Morgan Freeman (and a lady that we didn't know in the back).

Rob Pattinson, much taller than I expected!

Miley didn't have very many friends

The Beckhams, too pretty for their own good but good for us ;D

Nicole and Helen plus Two (Leo DiCaprio & friend)

Real, or not?!?

Triple wax threat.

Oh hey, Whoppi and Robin!

Breakfast at Tiffany's ;)

Didn't you know? Me and King Henry VIII are bff's!

Princess Di <3>
Can you spot Albert? (Also Stephen Hawkins Photobombing)

Picasso, very cool

The Beatles are just chill'n

Brittany in the good ol' days

Winston Churchill (this one is for Wayne!)

J.P.J. being Pope-ish

So now you have an idea of what the museum is like, and I have some pictures to trick my friends ;P

xoxo



Even More London Fun

1.6.10

I looked through a ton of pictures from the award show but couldn't find any that showed where Brittany and I were. I though about putting some pictures of the celebs up, but who really wants to see them anyways ;P

Rather, here are some more pictures from me! During brad's visit we took an afternoon trip to Hampton Court. I am obsessed with all things Tudor right now so it was perfect timing!! King Henry VIII spent a lot of time here, it is probably his most well known hang out spot.


This is me along the Thames with the palace in the background

Brad at the gate!
We are sitting on pretend thrones set up just like they would have been for King Henry and Catherine of Argon (wife#1)


All the trees were cut to look like mushrooms and Hershey kisses


We decided to grab a bite to eat, a chicken stew pie and coffee with bread- very 1500s

One of the main gardens. They were so extravagant.


In the distance you can see all the chimneys- these are typical architecture from the Tudor era.

Another lovely garden.


Brad with the largest and oldest grapevine in the world!


And this is its original root, it's crazy big like a tree trunk


There were actors that walked around as Henry and his last wife pretending it was their wedding day.

This was definitely a highlight for me, we were a bit pressed for time but it was very fun. The gardens were beautiful and there is so much history wrapped up in the palace!
