When Lizzie Borden Isn’t Lizzie Borden

There is a well designed blog whose author uses the name Lizzie Borden. She doesn’t write about the case, Fall River, Victoriana, or anything true crime. She doesn’t even write about other Lizzies —-the director, the rock band, the pornographer. Instead, she uses the name to present a persona of sorts from which to creatively rant about this and that.

It is an ingenious use of Lizzie’s moniker to direct our attention to the blogger’s words in both a serious and whimsical way. Do we take her totally seriously? Is she winking at us with this site? Or is this just one more example of how Lizzie Borden has transcended the legend to become a walking talking authority on life and love? Someone we should pay attention to, or else?

Oh, by the way, the person doing the blog Lizzie Borden is 22 year old woman living in Chennai, India.
