Title: Tupac Shakur wax figure at wax museuem (PICS)
Post by: West Coast Veteran on April 06, 2006, 08:52:20 PM: LAS VEGAS - Tupac Shakur will joinS the ranks of celebrities sculpted in wax at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas, the city where he was killed in a drive-by shooting nearly 10 years ago. The 55-pound figure was put on display today (April 5) at The Venetian hotel-casino. The slain rap star is depicted shirtless, sporting a bandanna and proudly displaying his tattoos. Shakur's precise measurements were reconstructed by sculptor Jeni Fairey — the woman behind the museum's wax Beyonce — with the help of photos provided by Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur. After a viewing in Las Vegas, promoters say they plan to take "Tupac Eternal" on the road. It's bound for Madame Tussauds galleries in New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai, China, and London, and is expected to be exhibited at the Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts in Atlanta
