Why do I even know about this? A friend from college (the lovely and talented Chris B.*) recently posted pics from her trip to England and couldn't resist sharing this beautiful photo:
Want to see more? Here, another visitor (who may be almost as lovely and talented as Chris), has posted her pics on Flickr of the figures depicting Henry and his wives. Henry and wives in wax.
Isn't this fascinating? (Mental note: Visit Warwick Castle when in England.)
Seeing all of these waxen ladies together in one room, I can't imagine they would have sat there in such a docile manner. Aragon would be trying to kill Boleyn, Parr would be bossing everyone around and telling them to mind their manners, Cleves would have stood on the sidelines wondering what was going on, Howard would maybe have helped Aragon just because it looked like fun, Seymour would have stood there disapproving of it all and Henry would be wondering what the hell he got himself into!
*Chris B's last name omitted to protect her from pre-renaissance-obsessed stalkers.
Yes, I have been to Warwick Castle as well - beware, beware the prices! You'll wind up spending the 50 quid for admission and snack. (Of course it's totally worth it. I mean, how often do you get the opprotunity to stroll around a castle???)
