GREEN & GLOVER: First couple in wax

Summer in the city

Their pop’s poll numbers are sliding, but the first kids aren’t sweating it. They have been seen out and about enjoying their summer vacation.

On Monday, Sasha and Malia Obama were caught ogling their parents’ wax figures at Madame Tussauds downtown, which tickled their funny bone, as the girls “started giggling and said it would be ‘hilarious’ if they took photos with the figures,” according to a museum press release, which cited museum guards as the source for the intel.

Sasha and Malia also took snapshots with Miley Cyrus, Beyonce and J.Lo. Their wax figures, that is.

Showing precocious grace, the girls, according to bystanders, declined to skip to the front of the line to see the museum’s Oval Office exhibit.

Hey, what’s wax next to the real thing, anyway?

Meanwhile, their mama, first lady Michelle Obama, is not sitting at home twiddling her thumbs, either.

A frequent diner at local hot spots, the missus was spotted downtown at Oyamel, an upscale Mexican restaurant, where she was breaking bread with White House sous chef Sam Kass.

Our loyal spy tells us “the Secret Service manning the front door (and frisking entering customers) were attracting a crowd, and passers-by were trying to get a glimpse through the window. She ate in the private dining room in the back.”

The stylish Mrs. O donned a white pantsuit and ordered items off the Squash Blossom Festival menu.

Sister act

On the subject of the Obama family, G2 has learned that President Obama’s little sister, Maya Soetoro Ng, will be the guest of honor at a gala hosted by the ambassador from the Republic of Indonesia, Sudjadnan Parnohadiningrat, on Aug. 8.

The evening will feature a special exhibit showcasing the Indonesian batik collection of the president’s late mother, Ann Dunham, an anthropologist.

President Obama spent his childhood years in Jakarta when Mrs. Dunham married an Indonesian man.
