Her savvy fashion sense -- and those slacks -- helped give her long-lasting appeal.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345830456539347899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410986998219881936.post-52455146723547300072008-05-28T15:07:00.000-07:002008-05-28T15:07:00.000-07:00Very entertaining and educational missive, Judith!...Very entertaining and educational missive, Judith!

M...Dean, what an incredible idea for a blog thread. My inspirations have always been authors. I wrote a fan letter to Ayn Rand, and never heard back. But I also wrote a letter to Pat Conroy about "The Prince of Tides". And he did write back to me and it was a very personal note sent from Italy where he was living at the time. It lives in my treasure box now.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572701545593934188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410986998219881936.post-42150877034830684382008-05-23T09:48:00.000-07:002008-05-23T09:48:00.000-07:00By the way, one thing I loved about your post was ...By the way, one thing I loved about your post was its ending--your confession about writing Lucille a fan letter, and then forgiving her for not writing back. I thought that was incredibly sweet. I had a similar experience with Charles Schulz, the creator of Peanuts; his secretary wrote me, and I was disappointed (but at least I got the initial thrill of a reply letter). I was wondering if Jane, Lisa or any of your wonderful readers have such tales to tell. Who did you write fan letters to?Dean Treadwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02106829300132326368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410986998219881936.post-41062796108766161212008-05-22T16:55:00.000-07:002008-05-22T16:55:00.000-07:00I really enjoyed your post, Judith, and look forwa...I really enjoyed your post, Judith, and look forward to reading more from you. By the way, but did you know that Lucy's ghost haunts the Desilu studios? The medium James Van Praagh recently hosted a tour of Paramount studios to locate ghosts from Hollywood's past heyday. He had a conversation with Lucy and she even "showed" him her personal apartment at the studio. She told Van Praagh that she likes to horse around there, knocking papers to the floor and opening and closing doors. The person working at the office now confirmed that strange things like that happen all the time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410986998219881936.post-18719124973258775852008-05-22T08:10:00.000-07:002008-05-22T08:10:00.000-07:00Way to go Judith, and welcome!

Writing about what you want in the way that you want is the best. All hail the blogosphere!<BR/>This was a great first post and I look forward to many more! You've now inspired me to do a dissertation I Love Lucy's home decor! Watch for that post soon!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711659857064323006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410986998219881936.post-47022972005029813342008-05-22T07:10:00.000-07:002008-05-22T07:10:00.000-07:00Very cool post.

As someone who wears ties and suits one day (fashion plate) and bummy t-shirts the next (fashion victim), I know next to nothing about haute couture. But I consider myself edumacated now. Lucy was exactly as you portray her: graceful, with-it, and timeless. <BR/><BR/>One note about your post--just a small criticism: watch the lengths of your paragraphs. A long paragraph is fine, but always go through and see if you've drifted into another thought that could be sent off with a paragraph of its own. But a fine debut, nonetheless, and very fun to read!

Absolutely fascinating take on Lucy fashion. I too loved the black skinny slacks she wore, but especially when it was with that long jacket dress that came all the way down to her ankles, but was open at front. Very cool. I hope you don't mind, but I added some pictures to your post. I will send you another email on how to do that for yourself. Great job!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572701545593934188noreply@blogger.com
