Michelle Obama Joins President Obama
May 26th, Shanghai Expo Shanghai is in full swing. Many government officials of other countries have come or are on their way to Shanghai for this big event. Before Mr. & Mrs. Obama’s arrival, recently, the wax figure of the first lady of United States – Michelle Obama arrived at Madame Tussauds Shanghai to join the President Obama figure which has been waiting there since early 2009. On that day many tourists surprisingly found that the President had been accompanied by his wife. They were all very excited to take pictures with the famous couple.
The Michelle Obama figure presented in Madame Tussauds Shanghai is wearing a sleeveless purple dress with some pearls decorated on the neckline and a black jacket. She looks elegant and confident. During the years of Obama’s running for President and even after becoming the President, the friendly, charming and smart image of Michelle Obama has won a lot of extra points for her husband. Besides, her taste for fashion has been widely acclaimed. In 2008, People held a best-dressed election and Michelle was on the list, praised by the media that she had an “elegant and confident” look.
The wax figures of the Obama couple are very vivid. Mr. President presents a king style of crossing his arms on his chest. The first Lady stood there with one hand akimbo. Her warm smile impressed visitors on site a lot. The successful production of wax figures is undoubtedly attributed to the Madame Tussauds delicate process. Sculptors in Madame Tussauds London workshop, which have hundreds of years of history, studied numerous image materials before starting. The huge project of the production of this wax figure strives for the best as always. For example, the black hair and the red line in the eyeballs are planted by technicians piece by piece, and only the set of teeth takes four whole days. The entire wax head needs almost five weeks to finish.
It is said that the unveiling of Michelle Obama during EXPO is another gift presented by Madame Tussauds Shanghai after the unveiling of Donnie Yen and Beyonce figures, as well as the exhibiting the three Expo ambassadors Lang Lang, Jackie Chan and Yao Ming. Moreover, during the entire EXPO period, with the Expo ticket, visitors can enjoy a special 50% discount at Madame Tussauds Shanghai. Even more, several special exhibitions will be held, hoping to bring more joy to the public and to make Shanghai Expo more cheerful.
