Biker Lizzie Who would have thought.

You can tell this mural was painted by a guy. Who else would have drawn breasts that big on Lizzie. Some guys have never got over their mothers, I suppose. Talk about directing interest to obsessed attributes.

Naturally, Lizzie has a tattoo and probably a hog out in the parking lot. Axe throwing. How exciting. Can it be possible that it is more exciting than bowling

That's good!! Got a brother like that. Wonder if he drew it. Just a thought.

I have to agree with you, MB; I also think that mural was most likely painted by a man. I find it interesting that the features of the woman in that mural are showing a much more masculine side than feminine side. As you know, our Lizzie was describe by several people as being on the masculine side.

Rebello, page 320 (Highlighting and underlining is mine.):

Nurses who knew Miss [Lizzie] Borden as a patient at Truesdale Hospital two years ago mentioned to their friends, it is said, that she was a woman of decided opinions and will, more masculine in appearance and ways than feminine.

Rebello, page 499 (Highlighting and underlining is mine.):

Mrs. Abby (Whitehead) Potter, niece of Abby Borden, described Lizzie as "an outsider, a big, mannish woman that people were afraid of."

Rebello, page 500 (Highlighting and underlining is mine.):

“Centenarian Recalls Lizzie Borden,” New Bedford Standard Times, October 6, 1975: 17.

Mus. Alice Dean, “She [Lizzie] was a prefect lady. She was very religious. She was wonderful to us. She recalled Lizzie as being “very mannish looking person … She always wore men’s hats and shoes, totally unlike her sister, who was very ladylike … it should be a closed business. Whether she did it or not is a big mystery. I don’t know.” Mrs. Dean was a friend of Lizzie Borden and visited the Borden household.

Actually, the thing I was drawn to when I first saw that mural, is the tattoo. Lizzie Borden with a tattoo? As we know, Lizzie was a Sunday School teacher, as well as a member of the Christian Endeavor Society, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and the Ladies' Fruit and Flower Mission.

We have no reason, that I know of, to think Mrs. Alice Dean was not being truthful when she said that Lizzie was very religious. Therefore, I believe that Lizzie would not have been caught dead with a tattoo.

BTW: Where in the world did you find that mural?

Yes Twins.

Stumpys, officially called "Stumpy's Hatchet House", is a place where you go to throw hatchets at a target. Like throwing darts. But instead a Hatchet.

There's one in New York and one in New Jersey. Now there will be one in (f)all (r)iver. This mural was painted on the wall in the new Stumpy's in Lizzie's home town.

I suppose it's a fun thing. Personally it would bore me to death. (death)

Here are a couple of links, including a video and newspaper article... in case you're feeling spunky and what to fling an axe.

Big mannish woman? Oh my. Ha. Im 5 ft 8 and not scared of sensible shoes and a good hat. I'm scared to think what Mrs. Whitehead would have to say about me, Twins. Lol.
That is quite the busty portrayal of Lizbeth, Mbhenty

The drawing sure doesn't flatter her too well. Good drawing thou.
