Look of love, now I've come undone (Part 1)....

Vitameatavega-Memories

As an aficionado of "I Love Lucy", I thought I'd check and see, periodically, what episodes were airing at certain times. 

So let's go back 70 years to February 16th, 1957. 

"Lucy Gets A Paris Gown"

The Ricardos and the Mertzs are in the midst of their European tour.  At a sidewalk cafe, they see a bunch of ladies walk by wearing a bunch of Paris "fashions" and despite them looking ridiculous, the girls love them and want the fellas to buy them some.  Which of course, since they're so expensive, they refuse to do.  But they DO have "gowns" made...out of burlap and a trash can and a horse feeding bag.  And the girls where them to the cafe, loving them.  They get a lot of looks.  And then the fellas tell then what they're actually made of, and Lucy and Ethel slink off in embarrassment.  The final part of the episode when they're back in the cafe later and the fashion designer walks by with more models...dressed in his renditions of the same gowns the girls were wearing!

Not a stellar episode, but a funny one.  I'd rate it a B+ perhaps.
