Nightwatchers at Lizzie Borden House
In a myspace blog about upcoming Nightwatchers events—ghost-hunting around the country—there is an advertisement/poster about a May 2008 overnight at the Lizzie Borden B&B. Nice poster. Only thing is, that isn’t a photo of Lizzie. This is the now famous “man-hands” Lizzie image that has been rejected by Borden scholars, the Fall River Historical Society, […]
New Lizzie Article in TAPS
If you have ever seen the Ghosthunters TV show on the Sci-Fi channel you know who TAPS are/is. TAPS stands for (I think) The Atlantic Paranormal Society. They have an office now in Fall River where they publish their print magazine TAPS Paramagazine. The current issue, July 2007, has a Lizzie Borden article in it […]
Ooops! Fall River Herald News Makes a Big Mistake
I am not the first to blog about the mistake by the Fall River Herald News in this morning’s paper. That credit goes to Shelley Dziedzic (hear that Herald News, that’s S-H-E-L-L-E-Y) on her site Lizzie Borden: Warps and Wefts. However, I may just be the only one with the image and the solution as […]
Wikipedia Ficklepedia
Over the years, I have done some editing to the Lizzie Borden page on Wikipedia. I have found various erroneous statements and some factually inaccurate statements that needed correcting. This has been an ongoing process, and an ongoing headache. As a college professor, I know that students use this Internet encyclopedia to aid them in […]
A View From Battleship Cove
I came across a kewl blog titled A VIEW FROM BATTLESHIP COVE OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTARY FROM FALL RIVER, MA – THE “WE’LL TRY” CITY, with posts by “Lefty”. MondoLizzie is referenced here (thanks Lefty!) as are other sites connected to Fall River. I like to read about Fall River, even if there isn’t a Lizzie […]
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 had a Tie?
The folks at Cyberoptix TieLab, the creators of hand silkscreened neckwear, have created a Lizzie Borden neccktie, called the 40 Whacks. Only $40, and $44 for the silk. If only I were a guy . . . Concealed Weapons: 40 Whacks (Lizzie Borden) This is our third in the Concealed Weapons series, each are double […]

Lizzie Portrait for Sale?
On eBay right now is a framed image of a woman for sale: Vintage Oval Convex Curved Bubble Glass Picture Frame. Seems the interest was not going as well as the seller wanted so they added this note on December 29th: “Could this photo be of Lizzie Borden? I did a Google search and the […]
Lizzie Borden Hatchet Grease
A very funny item has appeared on eBay—-Lizzie Borden Hatchet Grease—this one required ingenuity and creativity to craft. It is a good hoot and a half to read! One thing, however. The seller is using a photo of the Gray’s Portrait Studio “Lizzie”—which has been deemed by experts not to be her! So, this auction […]

November 2006 Hatchet is now Online!
My silence of late has a very good reason behind it—I have been heavily involved in designing and publishing the latest issue of The Hatchet: Journal of Lizzie Borden Studies. The last issue of this year was released this morning! Subscribers can access the online version and order the print edition (with a choice of […]
Lizzie’s Bust
You know it is Halloween time when eBay explodes with very kewl items for your perfect scary party or house decor. Here is a great item—a carved bust of Lizzie Borden, measuring roughly 31″H x 22″W x 5″D. It doesn’t matter that it doesn’t exactly look like her—what counts is they tried, and I think, […]
Odd Mixup
While doing an image search for Lizzie Borden, I came across a most unusual hit. The photo is of the BTK killer, but the caption in Google images is Lizzie Borden. While murder is not a laughing matter, I thought this photographic faux pas to be HI-larious.
Was she or wasn’t she?

Lizzie Necklace
Intrepid Reporter found this obscure one. It is a very nice looking Lizzie Borden necklace on a MySpace page. Careful—this site plays music when you go there so turn your sound down on your ‘puter if you are not into Angellore.
