Madame Tussauds has joined up with YouTube sensation Jenna Marbles and will unveil a wax figure of the social media star in New York City this fall.
With more than 15 million Youtube subscribers, there is no denying that Jenna Marbles is a viral video sensation in today's media. From cheeky makeup tutorials that poke fun at the lengths girls will go to just to impress a guy, to having "conversations" with her adorable pups, Mr. Marbles and Kermit, the world is hooked on this shining star. So, it's only fitting that her larger-than-life internet persona be immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds New York.
For her figurine, Marbles had more than 250 measurements taken from head-to-toe to ensure that her signature features come to life. While she isn't the first Youtube celebrity to be immortalized in wax — the guys behind SMOSH beat her to the punch — Marbles's statue will be the first of its kind to have a fully working camera phone in hand so visitors can take photos with her likeness.
The wax figurine will debut at Madame Tussauds New York this fall. We can't wait to snap our own selfie with this star!
