USStamps.com Deems Lizzie a “Notorious Figure”

For the last year, I have had for sale through my CafePress Lizzie Borden sale site a set of US Postage stamps I designed for those interested in all things Lizzie. I thought them in good taste and got many compliments on them. They are in the style of Andy Warhol.

Today, CafePress wrote me a nice note. Here is the text:

Thank you for using CafePress.com! Unfortunately we have removed some of the products from your shop.

So Lizzie is officially designated by Stamps.com as a “notorious figure and/or criminal”—-Just thought you should make a note of that!
