Michelle Obama, you've finally made it.

And we're not talking about helping your husband become the president of the United States. Or of being a successful working mom with two lovely children.

No, the first lady is going to be honored with a wax likeness at the Washington, D.C. branch of Madame Tussauds. Honored, that is, if you like the idea of a wax dopplegänger of yourself sitting in a museum alongside representations of the Jonas Brothers, J. Lo and J. Edgar Hoover. (First children Sasha and Malia should be happy to check out at least one of those—or maybe even the one of their dad.) 

The faux-bama figure is set to be unveiled in March. No word on whether it'll get its own security detail.
