“I felt I should add this picture only to have one of me posted – fair is fair! I made my floor length dress, but you could use one from a thrift store. I slattered it with red fabric paint everywhere to look like blood; I even made red handprints on the dress. I also tucked an ax into my belt. I had blood on my arms (red Halloween face paint) and I put band-aids on my hands here and there. I ratted up my hair a bit too and went a little overboard on the make-up to try to make myself look a little crazy.” ~ Sherri

They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
