Oh, wow.
The 50 side-by-side likenesses via thread reader.
The author's committed to the bit, though: I don’t actually own a single teapot, let alone one that in any way resembles Angela Lansbury. Sadly.
I don’t even actually like or drink tea. - Amanda@Pandamoanimum May 11

(Nudibranchia or other opisthobranchia compared to the various looks of David Bowie), another creative labor of love.]

Apparently this is a thing, and the Mirren thread brought me much laughter and joy! Thanks!

My favourite kind of humour is “someone clever had too much time on their hands.” Quarantine seems to inspire such. This is a golden example.

Not complete without Mrs. Lovett teapot.
(Also, it took me a second to get the bit where someone referred to Angela in "Gaslight," and another person insisted there is no such movie.)

I love that this exists. Clearly this woman deserves a MacArthur grant. Helen Mirren and cocktails is also seriously on point.
