I have had this discussion with a friend and what I said then, and I say it now is that the dress at Madame Tussauds - I'm 99% sure that it was a replica and not her actual dress. I'm pretty sure they make replicas of the stars clothes and do not use the real deal. I mean 1000's (probably) of people everyday go to Madame Tussauds and take pictures and put their hands on the poor figures (& clothes). Imagine someone ripping a original dress, Amy's, Angelina Jolie's, Lady Gaga's or whatever!

I am not a 100% on this one but it sounds logic to me. =)
Also, they do change clothes on the wax figures from time to time.

maybe we could find the answer if we knew which came first - Amy's funeral, or the removal of the yellow dress from her waxwork

I'm so happy to know this.

Looks like they change back and forth? Maybe they'll change it back to the yellow sometime.. they also seem to alternate between 4 pairs of earrings

this is good news, begs the question if there was any truth to the 'favourite yellow dress' story

I really hope you will not take personally what I will say. I don't judge you. You had the chance to talk to Amy and I understand perfectly that you'd needed to ask her to take care of her. This is a proof of your love for her.

However, I must admit that I understand Amy for have been angry. (If of course she was) People who abuse drugs have sufficiently ashamed of their behavior towards their friends, family and even against themselves. (I know what I' talking about) So if strangers mingle of this so private side of their lives, it becomes very difficult to manage and I think Amy was hoping to talk about something else, you know.

I don't criticize what you did. Plus, I admire you for having the courage to say this, but at the same time, could you imagine being told by a stranger, to take your life back?

yeah I completely understand what you mean... but do you remember how she was back then? i loved her too much and desperately wanted her to get better. i remember thinking that maybe she would be moved if we show her how much we love her. I also stated that I really amazed by her relationship with B. i might be wrong by sending her message that offended her. but i couldn't say i regretted it. she was so nice by replying my message and it was surely the best day of my life.


another random Q:
what musical instrument amy had in her house besides guitars and drums? i've always wondered what instruments she capable of besides guitar and piano?

Yes, I completely understand your reasons. You can have a clear conscience and tell you that you have at least tried to do something for saving her. You are very lucky to have had the chance to talk to her. I talked to her Dad but of course, it's not the same !

on politics: on twitter she follows Obama haha

I'm so happy about that! There's nothing better then one that doesn't get involved in politics, it generally makes them so much nicer and pleasant

I'm nice BECAUSE of my political views hahah. No, I get what you mean, but at the same time I hate when people have no clue about anything that's going on. Politics is the only place where adults can act like little kids. Actually I bet little kids act better. But honestly I don't like when people are in the middle about everything, there should be something you care about!

Yeah, guitar, piano, ukulele. She learned to play trumpet and drums as well.

TRUMPET


Look at 0:55




DRUMS




What did she have at home? I think many guitars, drums set and some keybord probably (look at the pic from her previous flat).

And I have more questions:


- Can we try to identify some of Amy's guitars. (more of a proposal than question, lol)

- What was Amy's fav tea?

Thanks for clearing up the issue about the yellow dress, so it might be an invented story that her favourite dress was the yellow one and she got cremated in it...I also remember reading somewhere that her friends helped do her make up...and I remember thinking: I didn't think they allowed you to do that, you ask the funeral parlour what you want (normally with a photo of the deceased) and they copy it as best they can.

Anyway, can you imagine if it was your job to undress and dress Amy's wax figure?!! I would love that job...I'd make sure that she's wearing Agent Provocateur under there! ;-)

I always thought it was normal because my old hairdresser had really old clients and would get asked if she would come in and do their hair after they died :-\ I'm sure they prepare the body up to a certain point, but after that make up and hair should be okay to do. It really makes me sad to think about Amy this way... I know she probably slept many times with her winged eyes on, but to imagine them closed like that really breaks my heart. But yeah that story is probably bullshit...
I found an article that says "two of her assistants"... that makes more sense than "friends"

It's definitely good to have opinions and views, but by "smile and nod" it means she doesn't care to discuss it with others because politics really brings out the worst in people. I love the fact that, unlike so many other celebrities, she didn't use her stardom as a platform for her political views, it just makes her so much nicer that way imo

In this video she is buying PG Tips Tea @ about 1:36




Here's an article that also talks about her drinking Yorkshire Tea

I did not know that you could do makeup and hair, I stand corrected. We'll never really know if it's true, but I just can't imagine Lelly Osbourne for example applying her winged makeup. That must be really hard to deal with, makes me shudder.

It's amazing what you can learn from a person just by being observant. ^^

But of course it's possible to wash, dress and make-up the dear person this last time. it's something that was very normal and common in the past. Ppl nowdays usually don't want to do it though. Amy was prepared by Catriona, her friend, as I read somewhere.

Amy Winehouse's close friend Catriona Gourlay helped wash and prepare her body before it was placed in the casket.

Another question in the meantime:

Has Amy ever had a cleaning lady in her house or she did everything by herself?

[amylove]

Catriona? http://www.thesun.co...t-The-Code.html

I couldn't imagine beautifying her for the last time, but some people are calmer than others in those situations. I'm sure seeing her peaceful brought the closure a lot of us are missing.
