She was captured on film as a little girl, because she was famed for having a chicken that walked backwards. If most of the photos of the great MFOC are any testament, she was never comfortable unless sharing the spotlight with a bird.
She had such a strong sense of a 'guardian angel' as a child that she went into a shed at six or seven, held a broom up over her head and started swinging in the hopes she could knock hers down to see it.
Whoa!!!i'm shocked to find out that she's a she! I thought Flannery was a masculine name, and mainly because her stories read like written by male writers- pessimistic, dark, cynical, depressing, gritty.
Would this, by any chance, be 'Fruity Fredda', who used to visit this blog back in its early days and numbered, then and now, among our more valued commentators (Confession: I looked up your profile, so i already know it is)?

Dammit, I love this site. Where do you get these photos?
Yes. Cool ain't clothes.
Of course she would be photographed with a peacock at her side. Of course she would.
Another interesting gem brought to my attention by this blog.
Thanks!

"AFLACK!" Oops. That's not a duck. But someone did say she had a chicken. Another example of what makes this a continually must-see blog.
I just read Wiseblood. She was a cool one indeed.
An amazing writer - her story 'everything that rises must converge' contains more in its 20 or so pages than a cartload of novels
