I used to do these "fun" blog posts long ago before I got sick. The stress of being seriously ill knocked the fun out of me for a long time. Now I'm trying again.
Above the photo I'll give a brief hint about these famous people - - and will reveal who they are below the photo.
You might have already seen some of these pics, but I try to use rare photos ( I couldn't get the text centered - sorry about that)
Here we go!
Think of starry nights
Vincent van Gogh, age nineteen

Cher, arrested in January, 1959
There are two versions of this story. One is that she stole a friend's car and got arrested. The much more plausible version is that she took her mother's car for a joy ride and got arrested.
Can a future president be a hunk? (that's only a biased opinion)

Eleanor Roosevelt
I have a lot of unusual photos in my files. It was difficult to choose. Jon
Have you ever heard that Lizzie Borden didn't do it?
ReplyDeleteThese are interesting photos. Everyone was young and sweet at one time.
I read a lot of literature about Lizzie Borden and am positive that she was guilty. She hated her father for his harsh restrictions and despised her stepmother - especially because her father was giving the stepmother's family a lot of money and even purchased a house for them.
DeleteLizzie even bought poison and tainted their food but none of them died.
She burned the dress that she was wearing on the day of the murder. Showed no empathy when her father and stepmother were murdered. She was hateful and cold hearted.
These were quite fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I needed that. Been a rough week and now I have a nasty head cold.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had a really rotten week, too. Health issues and lots of stressful things. Head colds are horrible! Rest and take care.
DeleteMaybe a vaporizer and soup?
That was fun. The only one I'd have got without help was Eleanor Roosevelt. Thanks for a few minutes respite. And the funny captions.
ReplyDeleteI had fun doing this post, but i had so many photos that it was hard to choose. Glad it provided a respite. Thanks, Liz.
