Winehouse Vs. Waxwork
Amy Winehouse emerged from seclusion on the streets of London last night a couple of days after her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was sentenced to 27 months in prison for attempting to pervert justice and a day after Madam Tussaud’s unveiled a wax statue in her honor … sadly, as usual, Amy was lookin’ quite messy, disheveled and totally frightful:
Glassy-eyed, matted beehive, blackened fingernails and scabbed skin. This is the real Amy Winehouse not captured by Madame Tussauds in their wax-brushed image of the troubled star. In their version of the chart-topping singer, Amy is seen with bright eyes, glossy hair, and glowing skin. The artists at Madame Tussauds must be losing their touch. Their wax version of Amy Winehouse doesn’t look like she’d even know how to start burning the candle at both ends. The remarkably fresh-faced figure was unveiled at the London waxworks yesterday to the delight of Miss Winehouse’s family. No doubt they’d never seen the troubled singer looking so well. Seen leaving her home last night with a coterie of hangers on, and with what looked like a marijuana joint in her mouth, the Rehab singer looked sweaty and disheveled as she got into a car to take her to the studio. It was the first time that Amy has been seen in public since it was announced that husband Blake is to serve 27 months for perverting the course of justice … Madame Tussauds believes Miss Winehouse, who stands next to models of Kylie Minogue and Michael Jackson, will be one of its most popular attractions. The 24-year- old singer is far from starstruck at the idea. “I thought you had to be dead almost before they made a waxwork of you,” she scoffed last week. Because she refused to pose for the artists, a team of 20 worked from a collection of photographs. It took more than four months to build. Yesterday, her father Mitch, who arrived with Miss Winehouse’s mother Janis, said he was “stunned” by the model.
Additionally, <strong>Mitch Winehouse joked with reporters that he would like to trade in the real Amy for the waxwork Amy — and you can see why. Not only will the wax statue have a longer shelf life but it looks much healthier than the real-live Amy does, too. Yikes.

I don’t think immortalising a knock smack head to be adulated is really appropriate, besides she’s now ruined herself, I doubt she will ever look good again.

Good lord, she is something scary!
They need to replace those old drug PSA’s on TV with pictures of Ms. Winehouse.

That is not her real hair. She took it out a while back while she was going to court. Its about shoulder length and full…but not long and definitely not all that stuff piled on top.
