Lizzie Borden: Bordenabelia

This week’s issue of the Fall River Spirit, what I call the happy newspaper that never prints bad news, did a super fantastic story on the special Lizzie Borden exhibit at the Fall River Historical Society. It is titled “Sheet of the Crime.”

Phil Devitt was a really good interviewer and it was a pleasure to speak to him. I was the tour guide on August 4 so I am quoted quite a bit in the article. The most learned comments come from Assistant Curator Dennis Binette. It was an honor to conduct the tours that special day.

The exhibit runs until October 15. Details are in a previous entry on Mondo Lizzie and in the Spirit article linked here.

Read it here!

The Spirit is free and on newsstands until next Thursday.

Here I am.

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.
