On October 30, 2008 at 7PM at the Brighton Branch of the Boston Public Library, I will be presenting yet another brand new talk titled “Looking For Lizzie: The Mystery and the Myth.”

I invite you all to attend!

This talk is free for all and is appropriate for persons of all ages.

Lizzie Borden still fascinates. She still intrigues us mostly because we know very little about her! After her acquittal for the murder of her father and stepmother, she remained in Fall River, Massachusetts, and spoke to no one publicly about the case ever again. A look at the Lizzie Borden story will reveal just how ubiquitous this enigmatic woman has become, over 116 years after she first made headlines.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
