Mondo Lizzie Borden

In an ongoing series about original Lizzie Borden items you can purchase, I bring you le Magasin des Morts, a shop owned by Maryellen Skulski. I first found Maryellen through eBay, where she is known as morbidmaryellen.

Her site boasts this: “Get the HIPPEST stuff on the web featuring Massachusetts’ favorite alleged AXE MURDERESS…Lizzie Borden!” And that’s no lie!

Been looking high and low for hatchet earrings? Look no further. They are also the originators of the FREE LIZZIE t-shirt and the Lizzie Finishing School items. Great prices too!

More today on the Bewitched convention in Salem, MA in TownOnline.com. Of note is the group’s plan to also tour the Lizzie Borden B&B. It seems Elizabeth Montgomery will always be Lizzie Borden and Samantha Stephens to her fans. And to us.

“We’re having such a good time, we’re thinking of doing it in Salem every other year,” said Simpson while driving a group to Fall River Tuesday to see the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast. In addition to her role of TV witch Samantha Stephens, Elizabeth Montgomery also played Lizzie Borden, the girl accused of killing her parents in 1892, in a TV movie.

“the girl”? 32 years old is not a “girl”—she was a full grown woman by that age.

On Semantic Compositions is a pretty funny short piece entitled “Lizzie Borden should’ve used a gun”. I recommend it to you.
