It’s Left-Handers Day soon, let’s hear it for lefties! We’re the forgotten minority. You right-handed folks don’t know how easy you have it! If you look up left-handed in the dictionary, you find terms such as ‘awkward’, ‘clumsy’, ‘gauche’, ‘sinister’, ‘insincere’, ‘maladroit’. Now, is that really fair?

There are so many things right-handers take for granted – learning to knit & crochet; learning to play the guitar, piano – even trumpet; playing sports such as golf or hockey; using a pair of scissors, knife, egg beater or tin opener. I could go on & on…

Left-handers are meant to be more artistic, creative and intelligent. Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo – both lefties. Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe – both lefties. Albert Einstein and Aristotle, yeah, you guessed it, both lefties.

Let’s hear it for lefties!

Happy Left-Handers Day! Adelle is left-handed (along with about 10% of the world population). To celebrate we’re featuring a vintage Spanish film poster for El Zurdo (meaning southpaw). Starring Paul Newman, the original English title is The Left Handed Gun. It refers to the (disputed) fact that the infamous outlaw, Billy the Kid was left-handed.
