Hillary Clinton's Bust and Plastination

Ok. How many of you saw this bust of Hillary recently?

The first thing that came to my mind was that it looked like a perfect cadaver specimen. Plastinated cadavers, that is. Sorry but it was the first thing popped into my head.

And so that brings me to this. Plastinated cadavers. They are becoming a smash hit at museums where the public go to get shocked but only to become awed and fascinated with the various positions displayed by the "plastinized" cadavers. Some museum visitors were so impressed that they even signed up to be a donor for the medical art show themselves. Donate your body to art? Talk about getting strip naked.

Now I'm thinking. When will we have our first famous "plastinized" celebrity? Will it be Michael Jackson albeit his missing nose? At least he wouldn't be frozen like a giant popsicle in a cryogenic chamber.

What about Bill Clinton? Well, I believe he could become an instant hit given his history at the White House behind closed doors. I'm sure people will want to take a closer look at Bill Clinton's "plastinized" body and see what the big deal was about just like the two couples in the picture. Look again.

You looked, too. Didn't you?

Tsk. Tsk.

But it's not a bad idea for a celebrity to do that sort of thing to help raise money for their favorite charity with their own body displayed as a "plastinized" cadaver at museums. Money collected can go to a good cause. It would be a donor's gift that can keep on giving. And it'll give Madame Tassaud's Wax Museum a run for their money.
