How to Use A Wax Museum to Make it Look Like You Are Successful

So you’re two months out of college, and you haven’t landed a sitcom. Or even a pilot. Or an audition for a pilot. (And you're definitely not qualified to be a pilot, because, let’s be real, you're not even smart for an acting major.)

But no one has to know that! If you’ve got $35 and a Facebook account, you can keep everyone wondering, “Is she #bookedandblessed or are those just wax figures of famous people?”

Here’s ten easy steps to make it look like you’re well on your way to hobnobbing with the Hollywood elite!

1. Start Small: A lot of famous people start out as assistants to other famous people. People will get suspicious if you start at the top immediately, so use the more casually-dressed figures to make it look like you’re building relationships in Hollywood slowly but surely.

Tussaud’s Tip: Be nice to the employees who work at the Museum. Remember, many of them are actors themselves and would love to pose with you!

2. Be Vague: Make the most of your $35 admission fee and use the plentiful props in the wax museum to really flesh out the story. What are you in rehearsal for? Who cares! Just caption this photo “Living my Dream!!” Or “Big news coming soon!” to keep them all wondering who will pop up on your feed next! Pro Tip: Hashtags are your friend! #booked #setlife #IGotSigned

3. Go “HAMM” and “book” something big!: Now that people are following your rising star, it’s time to bring out the big guns. Post an “on set” picture with a well-respected celeb/actor like Jon Hamm. Wow, that project must be high profile!

Tussaud’s Tip: Remember, wax figures can’t act with you, so use their pre-existing facial expressions to decide the story and tone of each image.

4. Go “Behind the scenes”: As you transform into a budding celebrity, your followers will want to learn about the ins and outs of #setlife. Use this non-celeb “wax artist” figure to make it look like you’re taking an active role in the creation of your character’s on-screen look!

5. Help Out the Little Guy: Everyone loves a magnanimous celebrity! When you can, introduce your non-famous friends to your new collaborators and admirers, like Steven Spielberg! Oh, Steve.

6. Have a Scandal!: Uh-oh, it’s not all daisies and sunshine in the life of a famous actor. Mix up your narrative by fabricating an on-set scandal to keep them all buzzing. Yikes! Is that a racist portrayal of Native Americans in your latest project??

Tussaud's Tip: There are PLENTY of offensive Wax figures in Madame Tussaud's. Try to keep up with current events and choose a cause that you think will get you the most attention!

7. Premiere Time!: One of the best parts of being a celebrity is walking the red carpet with your glamorous friends. This pose says “Oh Anne, I’ve always thought of you as my long-lost sister!”

Tussaud’s Tip: Be sure to bring a change of clothes so you can transform into your most fabulous you! We recommend using the 7th floor bathroom to change into your red carpet diggs. And don’t worry about changing your shoes--you can always crop those sneaks out later!)

8. Do the Late Night Circuit: It’s important for actors to promote their work by showing off their stunning personalities and hilarious storytelling skills on shows like “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” When people ask why they didn’t see your segment, just say “oh it was probably cut for time!”

9. Have a torrid romance: Make it abundantly clear that you are boning at least one celebrity at the wax museum. Extra points if that celebrity is currently embroiled in a scandal (You're only one who knows the REAL Johnny Depp!) UsWeekly here you come!
