Madame Tussauds Sydney Part 2
Here’s part 2 of mine and Ramon’s trip to Madame Tussauds Sydney with more photos with realistic wax figures ^_^
I quite enjoyed my time there! Ramon on the other hand wasn’t too excited over the whole thing. It was awesome at first however, more and more people started to arrive and the lines were getting long, there wasn’t much room to move, you had to follow in one direction and he wasn’t too happy about that. You really do need a lot of patience at Madame Tussauds.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s!
Eric Bana was super tall! I was in heels, still tippy-toeing and had to stretch out my arm!
With Rove! <3
It took us a little over an hour to complete the exhibit but that’s only because we skipped quite a few wax figures who were unknown to us.
Aussie soap stars! <3 I was so surprised to see them!
Yes, I’m Team Jen!
Next trip - the Aquarium! I really wanted to go to the wildlife park or the zoo but it’s been getting too cold so we can leave that for summer <3
Nails of the Week: Timeless Chanel
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “Nails of the Week” post! I’m so sorry! I haven’t had the time to do so but I’ve been making time (even a little bit) to make sure I do them, even simple ones!
This week, I found that I only have a few hours I could spare and I found my Chanel nail stickers hidden in a container so I thought I’d do simple (yet timeless) Chanel nails this week ^_^
Materials I used:
- Black Polish
- White Polish
- Chanel Nail Stickers
- Top Coat
I was using really really old nail polish and these nails didn’t even last me a week and started cracking 2 days after application! I was so gutted and made sure I set some time aside so I can do them properly with non-dud nail polishes. - I need to buy new nail polish! I’ve been using 1+ year old polishes, I’m sure that isn’t healthy for my nails >.<

Madame Tussauds Sydney Part 1
Madame Tussauds opened a branch in Sydney so Ramon and I decided to check it out! Everytime someone went to the States, they would rave on about how awesome Madame Tussauds was and after searching about the Sydney branch, I wasn’t able to find any photos or articles about anyone having visited it yet (well, a non-celebrity/journalist person). I was afraid that we weren’t able to take photos inside because I couldn’t find anything on the internet world! One phone call and confirmation that they encouraged photographs to be taken, we booked our tickets for the weekend ^_^
TIP: If you buy online, you’ll definitely save more money which you can use at the souviner shop at the end of the exhibit <3
As soon as we entered, the exhibit began! They were separated into different categories:
- Historical Greats
- World Leaders
- Music/Pop Stars
- Cultural Personalities
- Sports Stars
- Film/TV Stars
- Behind the Scenes
I was impressed with the detailing of the wax figures. Most of them looked real and deep down I was freaking out at how real some of them looked, especially the historical figures. It looks like they could just unfreeze and say “boo”!
To be honest, I don’t even know who this is… >.<
I loved that you could touch them and there were props from hats, glasses, gloves, wigs etc that you could use when taking photos.
We went in at around 4:30pm and at 5pm, the place started to get busy, lines started to form around the more popular wax figures like US President Obama, The Queen, Einstein and Marilyn Monroe. Luckily, people had etiquette and would only snap a couple of shots and not hog time on the figures so that everyone could take their snaps too! ^_^
Woo hoo! I’m one of the Pink Ladies!
I’m not the type of person that would get starstruck and if I saw a celebrity walking down the street, I would leave them be rather than harass them for a photograph (even though deep down inside I wouldn’t mind one lol, I wouldn’t invade their privacy like that) so I felt that what Madame Tussauds and her team had created was genius!
Alot of the wax figures at the Sydney branch were of Australian Celebrities.
I’ve split this post into 2 because it’s quite photo heavy - Sorry guys! I’ll post Part 2 soon! <2
Outfit Post Part 2: Gradient Maxi
Photographer: Ramon
Location: Parramatta Park
Here are the 2nd set of photos of my Gradient Maxi from the wonderful people at Sugarlips Apparel ^_^
Super close up of my face which has been heavily edited >.< Ramon’s taken his time with removing my eye bags yet again! - Thank you!
Me being silly… Ramon wasn’t movement in the skirt but because the slits were on both sides, it didn’t move much when I was twirling so I was attempting to high-kick x can-can the skirt up in most uncomfortable shoes I’d ever owned!
I can’t express enough how much I love the slits on either side of the skirt! It makes it so easy to sit down without having to worry you’d have any sort of indecent exposure ^_^
I do encourage my readers to check out Sugarlips Apparel, follow them on Twitter and like them on Facebook.
