It's unclear whether Madonna will be visiting her likeness in person when her MDNA Tour stops at the MGM Grand on October 13 and 14.
According to Madame Tussauds website, the process for creating a wax figure is called 'sitting' and involved two sculptors, one photographer, and an assistant taking 200 measurements of the stars for three hours.
Celebrities are never paid for the sitting, and just sculpting one of their famous heads takes five weeks to complete.

Madonna is currently in Los Angeles where the Express Yourself singer stripped down to her bra and thong during her song, Human Nature, Wednesday night at the Staples Center.
The provocative performer, who also performs tonight, did her striptease in full view of adopted seven-year-old son David, who spent some time behind the decks with her official on-tour DJ Martin Solvang.
Adopted from Africa in 2006, David seems to have embraced his new life and looks set to follow in his mother's footsteps, showing an enthusiasm in the music industry, which seems to run in the family.

He might still be at school but the young star, who started his life in a Malawian orphanage, looks set to carve out his own career as a DJ.

"Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,&q
