How rad is this interactive exhibit by Jennifer Rubell in London? A wax sculpture of Prince William stands in the pose he struck at his engagement announcement. On his sleeve lies a replica of the sapphire engagement ring he gave Kate Middleton, so, when you visit the gallery, you can step onto the pedestal, slide your arm through William's, and slip on the ring. Would be trippy to pretend for just a moment, and see what it felt like!(Via My Modern Met)
thats kind of weird haha!

...and she gave him extra hair! thoughtful of you, rubell.
ReplyDeleteThat's the funniest thing. The fact that you can stand their beside him, but then the ring!!! Hilarious.
ReplyDeletexo L.
wow, that's a generous amount of hair he's been given!
ReplyDeletehaha, lauren, i didn't notice that. SO funny.
ReplyDeleteToo. Funny. Haha!!
ReplyDeleteKnowing my luck, the ring would get stuck on my finger, and I'd end up walking out with the sculpture still attached (although there are worse things :) ).
ReplyDeleteBecca
haha this is amazing! and yes, the first thing i said was oh my so much hair ;)
ReplyDeletehmm, is this still on, the gallery site has this exhibition marked as Feb- March 2011...
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThis is pure awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!! Another reason to go to London!! xoxo
ReplyDeletethat's hilarious!! how funny is it that he's standing there all by himself in the last photo?? haha

My 12-year-old self would have gone bonkers over this. I had such a crush on him!
ReplyDeletekinda sad actually. x
ReplyDeletethis is too funny!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! Gah, I had the biggest crush on him when I was a little girl. xo.
ReplyDeleteThis might be the coolest exhibit I have ever heard of!
ReplyDeleteHilarious. (Especially if you wear jeans and a flannel shirt!)
ReplyDeletehaha I love this!
ReplyDeleteHe looks very tall!
ReplyDeletei lOVE this! My friend in London would always post me Prince William stuff when I was younger (in the 90's!) I still have the newspaper clippings and magazine photos :) I'm 27, married and have a kid, but my love for Will is still there! ;) It's a good thing I like Kate Middleton! xx
ReplyDeleteWould probably be better if he ACTUALLY looked like Prince William...rather than some tall guy who may or may not have had a stroke recently...
ReplyDeleteAdorably creepy!

funny idea indeed!
ReplyDeleteWow his hands in the close-up shot look so real
ReplyDeleteCool idea, but Will looks a little weird up close in my opinion.

So funny! The ring is definitely my favorite part. It is true that this doesn't really look like Will though. Does anyone else see a Jon Heder resemblance in the face?
ReplyDeleteLOL! That is so funny. He definitely doesn't have that much hair in real life!
ReplyDeletehaha, so funny!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! It's so hilarious that the ring is attached to his sleeve - I didn't even notice that at first!

I didn't realize the first time I looked that the ring was attatched to his jacket. haha So funny!

I've been practicing the Kate Middelton engagment pose for months. Finally, the perfect stand-in for my William (who cares that he's made of wax!)
ReplyDeletethat's really funny!
ReplyDeleteThe girl in the first photo's face is classic~
ReplyDeleteI'd rather a Prince Harry figure to pretend.
ReplyDeletePrentending with a marriage man wax figure is not good pearly gates' karma building.
Ah! Amazing and creepy all at the same time (but mostly amazing)!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! Posing for this pic is on my list now!
ReplyDeletemandy, "my monthly" -- haha, what a funny term:)
ReplyDeleteI remember reading about the artist in NY Mag: http://nymag.com/arts/art/features/jennifer-rubell-2011-7/
ReplyDeleteInteresting work.
Haha! So funny and cute.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I wounder if the artist would be open to featuring the same concept, but with different celebrities? Say Henry Cavill?
ReplyDeleteLove how real his hand looks up close!
ReplyDeleteThat's really clever!
ReplyDeleteThat's very amusing!
ReplyDeleteomg! hands are so real, no?
ReplyDeletecreepy, but i love it! i'm about his age and when i was younger, i'd dream of marrying him. :) who didn't?
ReplyDeleteHilariously awesome! I like the idea other commenters have suggested: a wide variety of attractive bachelors. I would definitely go for a Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy wax sculpture.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! But what if the ring gets stuck on your finger...have to cry out for soap :-)
ReplyDeleteI discovered My Modern Met earlier today, great site it seems like
Bahaha! This is awesome. I want a picture with Prince WIlliam.
ReplyDeletexo.
Molly@UrbanNester

haha, this is too funny! great photo opp!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! One of my closest friends is OBSESSED with the royal family and would cheese it up if she got a chance to visit the exhibit :) I wonder if we will see anything similar pop up in the states?
ReplyDeletewww.normaltownlove.blogspot.com
wow! thats amazing!
ReplyDeleteSlightly odd, but definitely a crowd pleaser!
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! Too bad he has quite a bit more hair than the real one, though. Wouldn't fool anyone. :-)
ReplyDeleteBloody brilliant!
