Who doesn't LOVE Lucy????

She is a legend... icon from our time who's laughter will carry on to my children as I was raised watching (my mother is a motivational speaker on humor after all who has actually met and collaborated efforts with Lucy Arnez - daughter of the legend herself) we shall see what the future brings and if the projects will flourish and help people through LAUGHING

My mother has been telling me about this old movie titled 'MAME' with Lucille Ball post 'I Love Lucy' days...

I have to say that was a bit sad to see the actress' performance and not all too impressed HOWEVER the fashions were to DIE for... Lot's of hats, furs, gloves, cigarette holders, scotch drinking cocktail dresses and wonderful earrings

Opening scene is a party at Mame's New York City apartment in the late 1920's... champagne is flowing, everyone is dancing and she finds herself a new child named Patrick who she is now in charge of from her brother's passing... not quite the mother figure, yet raises the boy in an interesting way...




The fire engine red pants suit that Mame is wearing is absolutely amazing... fitted in the hips, wide in the legs and the back of the top is cinched with a long piece of fabric hangs down and emulate's a train...

This hat is absolutely fabulous... she is wearing a hat in almost every scene.. I wonder how women would travel so well back in the day... I suppose they didn't have as severe restrictions as we do these days... doesn't the airport security realize how important our head wear is ;)


This Doll was created to model a unique dress worn in the film when Auntie Mame meets the parents of her grown nephew's fiance... she scares them off alright and NOT due to this piece of art that they are calling a dress...

gorgeous! and who would have thought... a natural blonde changing her color red to stand out and MAKE it in Hollywood now THAT is an innovative thinker
