Classic Britney Spears: Real or Wax?

We all remember the days when Britney Spears was best known not for psychotic meltdowns, but for titillating dance routines… her perfect, toned body gyrating feverishly and nearly spilling out of her skimpy outfits.

Gulp.

Here’s a blast from the past below. As you can see from one of her most memorable routines, Britney Spears is working that pole like a pro and belting out a lip-synched version of her 2000 hit, “Crazy.”

OR IS SHE?

Is this a vintage photo of the singer herself circa 2000, or just a wax figure replica, complete with wax headset and stripper pole?

You decide in this edition of Real or Wax …

Follow the jump to find out the answer …

WAX! This was a tough one, as it’s hard to remember the actual Britney Spears ever looking like this – but she definitely used to back in the day.

The wax figure seen here probably has equal or greater vocal talent, though, and we’re a bit disappointed in the lack of snake. Whatever.

Did we fool you?
