Hi Folks, It is not commonly known, but Anne Hodge was very hirsute and worked for the old southern side shows before she retired. Being known as a meteorite target was considered more "honorable" (in those times) than being a bearded lady, so the Sylacauga strike actually changed her life for the better. Make no mistake, the lock of hair shown in the photo was growing from the area of her body that the meteorite struck.
For those considering to purchase or not, I must disappoint you - the specimen is now sold. Furthermore, sales of all Sylacauga-related materials are hereby suspended until further notice.
