#THE FINGER

[bigfootboyband]

As Halloween approaches, I’ve been seeing many very talented makeup artists recreate the face of the bride in Tim Burton’s “The Corpse Bride.” I thought this would be a good oppertunity to make some art and remind one and all that the “The Corpe Bride” (known in some tellings as “The Finger” or “The Demon in the Tree”) is a beloved Jewish folktale. Folklorist Howard Schwartz traces the orgins of “The Finger” to 16th century Levant. Aftrer hundreds of years of retelling, the story, like all folktales, has undergone many iterations and also became highly informed by the violence of life in the Pale of Settlement (specifically towards women and young brides).

If you'd like to support me, you can do so here <3

The American middle finger

According to Wikipedia, the earliest documented use of a raised middle finger as an insulting gesture in American culture is this photo:

which depicts Charles "Old Hoss" Radbourn, pitcher for the Boston Beaneaters, flipping off the New York Giants in 1886. This is apparently the first known photograph of anyone giving the finger, which is one of the most Boston things I've heard.
