The late Zsa Zsa Gabor visits Hobby Lobby





Okay, I kind of tricked you into coming here.  Zsa Zsa Gabor, a famous Hollywood personality, really did visit Hobby Lobby but it was many years ago (obviously before she died; and it was not the Hobby Lobby that you're thinking of - a retail store.)  Read on to find out the Rest of the Story......

Hobby Lobby is expanding. From their base of 800 stores, they may have one in every major city by 2030. 

For my generation HOBBY LOBBY was in every home for decades. It was a radio show (and later a TV show hosted by Charley Weaver) that featured people, both famous and everyday ones, talking about their hobbies. 

The show ran from 1937 all the way up to 1960. Mostly it was on network radio, but the Weaver version was on TV in 1959 and 60.

Zsa Zsa Gabor was a guest on one episode. She did not talk about her favorite hobby, collecting husbands and diamonds, but rather her second favorite sport - fencing. Not building fences with wooden sticks and nails, but the sport of dueling with real swords!



It must have been quite a sight to see ZSA ZSA in a filmy, delicate evening gown, decked out in 5 pounds of diamonds, 7 pounds of gold, and brandishing an 8 pound shiny, sliver sword of steel.
