Open All Night has photos of Britney Spears' wax likeness at Madame Tussaud's, unveiled today and featuring the troubled pop strumpet hanging upside down from a deluxe stripper pole. She's even outfitted with state-of-the-art "heaving chest" technology (no joke), adding to the illusion that she's actually there, lip-synching just inches away from you. While the press release touts the installation as being a dynamic recreation of one of her legendary stage performances, there seems to be some confusion amongst fans—one of whom took to wielding signage in protest— who took the unusual placement to be a cheap shot at Spears' reported clumsiness at baby-handling techniques. Of course, the tiny wax figure of Sean Preston several feet away, suspended by fishing line as if to appear to be sailing through the air, did nothing to dispel the interpretation.
