Today in Wait, What? — The wax museum that can't get anything right
This is a story about unmatched skill and unprecedented craftsmanship. See the perfectly crafted wax sculptors of Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Elvis Presley and more

This is a story. A comedy of errors of sorts. More errors and less comedy, to be frank.This is a story about a wax museum in Lima, Peru. A wax museum so bad — it's good.This is a story about unmatched skill and unprecedented craftsmanship.The museum came into the public eye recently after a visitor (presumably), tweeted a photograph of Lady Gaga's newest wax statue; unveiled at the Museo de cera de Lima in Peru. The statue was supposed to recreate her iconic meat dress from the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). The creator of the wax statue however, did not have control over his senses, especially his eyes and what we got was a long faced Gaga with straw-like hair and muscular arms. At this point we will stop describing the image and just let you take a look it.[caption id="attachment_4178051" align="alignnone" width="825"]
