Britney Spears has been immortalized in wax once again! This time for her 2008 VMA appearance. Remember, that was the year when MTV basically gave her awards just for showing up? Unfortunately, I can't post the new wax Britney because I can't seem to find the terms of using that image. So, I present to you the old wax Britney...

According to Sky News:


Liz Edwards from the waxwork museum said they needed to recreate her 'one more time' because "her original figure captured a provocative pose from her 2001 Dream Within A Dream Tour and was extremely popular. However, she's undergone a huge transformation since then and we wanted to reflect her as she is now."

(Now this text is a little more tricky. Really, I don't think I can even use it. However, in the Terms of Use section entitled "Definitions" the term "home use" is not defined. So I am going to claim that this blog is indeed for my "own personal non-commercial home use" as to be in compliance with Sky News' conditions. If that doesn't fly with Sky News, then I guess they will just send me a take down notice. Anyway, check out the full text here.)


If you're really dying to see what this new wax Britney Spears looks like, then watch this clip. Then take the Britney from this clip, add 15 pounds, give her really bad hair, and dress her in an outfit that looks like a disco ball. There you have it -- the new wax Britney!



(This video was found on archive.org and according to our class discussion, everything on that site is under public domain. However, if Britney were smart enough to find this music video on archive.org and call her lawyers, I'm almost positive it would have to be taken down. You can watch the video here also.)
