In fairness, ANYTHING would look like a competent waxwork compared to the [HORRID MONSTROSITY that was the Selena Gomez Waxwork.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/what-the-fug-madame-tussauds-08-2014/) I suspect there is a reason Selena did not pose with hers, and that reason is because she would be making a horrified face. It would have been just as entertaining as this, although in a wholly different way:

Am I crazy, or is that a decent facsimile of Lord Grantham? (I suppose it helps that they've put him in a most basic suit -- a SIMPLE TUXEDO that Lord G wouldn't even deign to wear to dig around for his lost Gutenberg Bible -- and not some ridiculous frippery, not that the classic tuxedo helped [when they ruined Prince William](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/hideous-moments-in-illustrative-royals-history-part-2-07-2014/).) It's possible that I am just charmed by Hugh Bonneville's shenanigans.

But of course you'd like to see the entire thing:

He looks vaguely as if he'd be unable to raise his hands -- not even to rip a Nazi off his daughter's lover's body, nor to beat up a pig farmer who's absconded with his secret grandchild -- but the face is right on. Where were you when Selena Gomez needed you!?
