At their best, wax sculptures of celebrities are unnerving, though certainly impressive.
But as the degree of execution starts to slip like one of the figures left too close to a window with southern exposure, that uncanny creep-factor quickly rises.
Now a new tribute to Lady Gaga is causing all sorts of squeamishness in Lima Peru and across social media.
Here she is in all her Joanne edge of glory:

Still, nothing can ever be as bad as this Cristiano Ronaldo statue:
o.codone
Looks like Patti Smith and Cher had a baby while Courtney Love watched. Remember the “scary Lucy” statue? WTF were they thinking? Rinaldo is bad but Scary Lucy really takes the cake.
