OMG, guys! I just had the most fun-filled day at Madame Tussauds Tokyo, and I NEED to share it with all you fellow fangirls and fanboys out there!
First off, let me just say: childhood dreams DO come true!
Remember the era when we have posters of our idols on our wall growing up? Yeah, well, I practically got to hang out with them all today!
And speaking of legends, Bruce Lee was also there! We exchanged fighting stances (again, mostly me flailing around, but hey, the spirit was there!).
Of course, it wasn't all action and pop stars. I got to channel my inner Audrey Hepburn with a classic pose, then went full-on Captain Jack Sparrow with Johnny Depp. ☠️
Even royalty wasn't off limits! I rubbed elbows (virtually, of course) with Prince William and Kate Middleton and even got to sat at the Queen of England's throne!!!

I finally meet Jackie Chan face to face! He happens to be my childhood idol because of his funny antics in his martial arts movies.
I remember going to his gym in Hong Kong whenever we went on vacation there. My Papa Vito is such a good dad because he would accompany me to Jackie Chan's gym and inquire if Jackie was there. I was dreaming of having a snapshot or even to get a glimpse of him. Unfortunately, he was so busy and was always out! Finally, in Tokyo Japan we did some high kicks together (well, I attempted some, haha).
Next off is Michael Jackson! I moonwalked right next to him (okay, maybe just shuffled awkwardly) Ha ha ha 🤣
Then, I got all cultured, posing for Michael Angelo as the Mona Lisa except that I had a giant, cheesy grin.

The music legends were next! Madonna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga - slay queens unite! We belted out some (questionable) karaoke together.

And let's not forget the history makers! Sharing a moment with Nelson Mandela and President Obama was truly humbling.
Finally, I got a little taste of Japan with Prime Minister Abe (hope I didn't bow incorrectly!).
This wasn't just a trip to a wax museum, it was a journey through my fangirl fantasies!
Seriously, if you're ever in Tokyo, Madame Tussauds is a MUST. You might not get to hold an Oscar or become president, but you can definitely get the perfect Instagram pic with your idols!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go rewatch all the movies, listen to all the music, and maybe (just maybe) try to recreate some of those epic poses.
Who are your ultimate fangirl/fanboy icons? Let me know in the comments, and maybe we can fangirl together on the next adventure!
