Wolverine in wax
His retractable claws are made of adamantium-laced bone, but for Madame Tussauds, Wolverine, the gruff hero of Marvel’s X-Men comics, will be all wax.
Bearing the likeness of Hugh Jackman, who plays him in the movies, Wolverine will scowl at Bangkok fans all next month as part of “Marvel-ous May” at Madame Tussauds.
The comics company will display its characters in wax in Bangkok and five other Madame Tussauds branches.

Your next shirt

Jonathan Barnbrook did the cover as a nod to Bowie’s earlier “Heroes” album, from a photograph by Masayoshi Sukita, a friend of Smith. The T-shirt is available at Club 21 on the first floor of the Erawan Bangkok shopping arcade.

Broken not busted
Wrangler is reviving its Broken Twill fabric, a |breakthrough denim invention in 1964.
