It’s official, Ricky Martin has come out of the closet as a proud gay man, and now he’s “waxing rainbow” at San Francisco’s Wax Museum at Fisherman’sWharf (www.waxmuseum.com). To celebrate living “la vida loca,” Ricky’s leather-clad, wax perfect figure is “out” at the Wax Museum and on the turntable front and center at the internationally known tourist hot spot.
“It’s our first Wax Museum outing” said Wax Museum owner Rodney Fong. “What better place for Ricky to take a bow for his fans than right here in San Francisco.”
About the Wax Museum at Fisherman’s Wharf:
The museum started with 150 life-sized figures in front of black curtains on the first floor and opened as one of the largest wax museum in North America. Now the exhibit includes over 275 figures in elaborately staged scenes, with costumes, props and lighting, carefully constructed to authenticate people at the peak of their fame. Many scenes were designed and sculpted by Thomas Fong's son Ronald, who co-directed the family business in partnership with his father from its inception. As one of the world's largest wax museums, the Wax Museum at Fisherman’s Wharf continues to show all aspects of life from the ignoble Chamber of Horrors to the inspiring Hall of Religion, including the historic Library of U.S. Presidents, the spectacular Recreation of King Tut's Tomb and the unique Palace of Living Art, where the world's most famous masters, and their masterpieces come to life through the magic of wax artistry. Among both foreign and domestic visitors, the most popular part of the wax museum tour is The Gallery of Stars. Artisans are busy continually producing a galaxy of brand new stars, such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who have joined such classics as Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and now an out-of-the-closet Ricky Martin.
