Lizzie Borden — Roller Derby Queen
There is a filmmaker named Lizzie Borden, a pornographer named Lizzie Borden, a heavy metal band named Lizzie Borden, and now a Roller Derby Queen named Lizzie Borden. She is a member of the Dairyland Dolls (Hurt in a Shirt) from Madison, Wisconsin. I think she rather favors the acquitted axe murderess, don’t you? Is […]
Bad Sue Quilts does Lizzie
Bad Sue Quilts goes back to 1997. One of the earliest squares created was a Bad Sue/Lizzie Borden theme, quite well done I think! The idea started in the 1980s when 12 members of a seamstress local in Lawrence, Kansas, created this quilt, which has since been purchased by collector Kitty Clark Cole and donated […]

Lizzie Borden Conference 2008
I was saddened to hear that the Lizzie Borden Conference scheduled for next August (2008) was cancelled. Not only because it was going to be the first big official get together for Lizzie Borden aficionados since the 100th anniversary conference in 1992, but because the brains and creativity behind this event really wanted it to […]
Lizzie Trinkets for Sale
I have purchased some really kewl stuff from eBay seller capguncowgirl before and think her jewelry is original and wild. This new design is something I don’t have a great deal of interest in, mainly because she puts Lizzie Borden in with “serial killers”—which of course, even if you think she is guilty, she is […]

New Old Lizzie report from TV on Youtube
Almost 8 minutes long, this is an investigation into the case by Entertainment reporter Tim Estiloz for CN8. He gets some facts incorrect, but it is GREAT to see the case explored in more than a 30 second sound bite. What is extra great is that the report is from 1996 when the house was […]
Lizzie’s First Vlog
Very clever! This goes in the wish I thought of that category!
More (Moor) Murders
I have always been interested in reading true crime. I don’t know if this comes from being the child of reading parents who passed such books onto me when they were finished, or if it was because I come from the city where Ted Bundy was finally convicted. The trial was held in my town. […]
World’s Scariest Ghosts
I don’t know why I am into this right now, but here are some more ghosts. I found this on google video. It is 41 minutes long and has video of stuff happening. Cool! You can see it below or see it big screen here.
This is scary
Found this on a Myspace site. The description says “my mom in my garage talking to something that messed with her car its pretty creepy no video just audio and captions.” I can hear it when I turn the volume way up. This isn’t a joke movie, one of the hundreds that are posted that […]
Lizzie and her axe
In an opinion piece in the Ledger Dispatch of Jackson, CA, letter writer Joe Dirickx penned a letter titled “More handgun laws are not the answer.” He cites various instances where major crimes were committed by people who would have stopped at nothing to do their dastardly deeds. Of course, here we have the standard […]

Personal Response Systems and Lizzie
Lizzie makes the news in such unexpected ways! Personal response systems are like televsion remote clickers, and are used by teachers and others to assess learning and opinions in real time. The technology has been around for more than ten years, but instructors are now using it in the classroom to determine whether their students […]
