It's been ages since my last Friday post! It's so good to be back to regular blogging. Today's Friday Fashionista is one of my favorite vintage mamas: Lucille Ball
"Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead."- Lucille Ball
While her comedy stands out more than her fashion sense, it seems that the modern world ties all things 50's back to Lucy. I can't tell you how many times a stranger has said "You look just like I Love Lucy!"

One of the most iconic fashion moments for Lucy and for mothers is when she appeared on television while pregnant. In her time, pregnancy and even the word "pregnant" was not acceptable for American television but when the actress was with child, they had no choice but to find a way for the show to go on. In 1952, Lucy became the first pregnant women to be on a television show and of course, she was a maternity fashion icon.

Thank you for posting about LB. I never realized what an amazing woman she is... and so are you!
ReplyDeleteWhat breathtaking photos. I totally think of Lucy as a fashion icon. Even my kids get it - I have a full skirted polka dot sailor dress that they have always called my Lucy dress. I adore her and you for sharing such wonderful photos of her!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous photos of her....loved it! xox
ReplyDelete"Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush; otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt." --awesome quote and still relevant today!
ReplyDeleteI grew up watching Lucy and always saw her more as a mom, but it's clear from these photos that she was quite sexy as well!
Hi Brittany! A great post once again! I too love Lucy. I have a little nod to her in the sidebar of my blog! She had great style, but above all else, she had real 'get-up-and-go'! A woman with character and inner strenght. And I think that's you! I've been following your blog for a while now, and you do remind me of her, in more ways than one. Thank you for inspiring us! Tania ♥
ReplyDeleteThis was the perfect way to start my morning, thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteShe was so beautiful! Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteAs undeniably awesome as I Love Lucy was, it's actually always been some of Lucille's film roles that stand out as my favourite acting that she ever did. Whether on the big screen or the small though, I adore her and constantly inspired by her feminine fashion - and hair! - sense.

I love Lucille! She was such a stunner.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful :) I've been watching I Love Lucy re-runs on the "Me TV" channel for weeks now! She's so funny <3
ReplyDeleteYou know, it's amazing how woman being funny isn't usually associated with them being beautiful. In fact I don't think most people look at Lucy and realize how sexy and gorgeous she was until they see some of those pictures up there. Stinks how woman have to (or at least do in general) down play their beauty to be funny. (And sorry no, I don't count Cameron Diaz as funny.)

Lucy is a legend! When I did my first pin-up photo shoot and pageant last year, I definitely drew inspiration from her and pulled some big, goofy faces. I really don't know how to pull off the "sultry smokey" look, and this approach won me a crown! She's my vintage idol!
