About E.J.

Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer. Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.

    OMG…that’s going on my Facebook page! My friends out of state will flip out. (No pun intended.) The things that go on “normally” in Gloucester bewilder them as it is. I’m still explaining the Greasy Pole!

    So fun! I suppose you need to step in cornmeal for traction.

      Hmmm. Hadn’t thought about the slipping factor. You’re right; corn meal would probably work. Then after stepping out in style, you could just flip them into a hot frying pan.

    Someone has got to “step up” and make these (without real fish, or course). The perfect Gloucester footwear. I found this photo on the internet.

    I laughed so hard I got my coffee up my nose! Could give a whole new meaning to “Sole food” and to anyone who was in Rockport’s Miss Wagners 7th grade history class— the “flat foot floogies” could become the “flat foot fish flip flop floogies” – man can you get a better tongue twister!

    Nice one EJ!
