9:20AM Clem Bastow | The last time, if I remember correctly, that we saw the family Winehouse out and about together was after Amy won her Grammy Awards earlier in the year. So it was lovely to log on to The Daily Mail this morning and see them all having a ball together… except, hang on, something’s not quite right with Amy:
Fooled you all, it’s a wax dummy!
Winehouse has been Tussauds’d!
Amy Winehouse’s parents Mitch and Janis unveiled a wax figure of the troubled singer – complete with trademark beehive and sailor tattoos – at London’s Madame Tussauds today.
But observers couldn’t help but note the 6ft dummy was a rather flattering depiction of the 26-year-old – her scratched, red raw arms and scabby skin glossed over by sculptors.
The discrepancy wasn’t lost on her father, who later told GMTV: ‘We’re going to take this one home with us and send the real one back.’
That’s the spirit, Dad! Meanwhile, where’s your living, breathing daughter? What’s that, wasted on crack and talking to a fire hydrant she thinks is a McDonalds employee?
Carry on, then!
