[Scurrilous]

Michael Zhiminaicela, 10, talks on a red phone as classmates from New York Public School 192 arrive for the initial viewing of a wax figure of first lady Michelle Obama at Madame Tussauds to kick off Black History month Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2010 in New York. The wax figure joins the wax figure of President Barack Obama.

"Madame Tussauds' in New York has unveiled a wax figure of Michelle Obama in a one-shouldered white gown inspired by the one she wore to the inaugural ball.

The first lady's likeness joined a wax tuxedo-clad President Barack Obama on Tuesday. His figure was unveiled at the museum last year.

In about two weeks, the Obama wax figures will exchange their formal wear for everyday wear."
