Waxy Lizzie Borden Seeking New Home
An interesting eBay item for sale. Full-sized wax figures of 28 criminals, including, for some reason, Lizzie Borden. Now you and I are well aware that Lizzie was acquitted of the crimes for which she was charged (the murder of Andrew and Abby Borden on August 4, 1892), but she lives on in the modern psyche as a hatched or axe wielding monster—blood dripping from the murder implement and splashed on her clothes and face.
Well, now you can own your very own! According to the eBay sale:
