After Rudy Giuliani shut down the pornography theaters in Times Square, the void was partially filled by Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. It is routine that all U.S. Presidents have a likeness on display. Studio artists in London painstakingly implant into heads strand by strand of hair. The hair on Trump's likeness is a mix of human and yak. (The yak is a long haired short legged ox like mammal found in Asia at high elevations) Not sure if the coloration challenged them. And lest we forget, his eyebrows are squirrel. The likeness is protected behind red velvet rope and by a Tussauds staff member if you have a selfie in mind. In typical Museum understatement their member states "There's an opportunity for visceral on-site interaction whether you want it or not." Me thinks the late night folks could have a field day with this.
