HATS! ~ Part 2

The Headwear of “The Lucy Show”

From 1962 to 1968 hats were in decline. Although they were still worn by some women to formal events, they were not worn on a daily basis as they had been in the post-war 1950s. On “The Lucy Show” hats went with uniforms and costumes. They completed a look - and sometimes were funny as well.

Lucy Carmichael worked for Bigelow’s Department Store. One of her assignments was the Hat Department, where she worked with Amzie Strickland (Don Loper’s Saleswoman) and fitted Elvia Allman (Foreman of Kramer’s Candy Kitchen) for a new hat.

“Picking out of a hat” was taken literally when Lucy, Viv, and their boyfriends can’t decide where to eat or what movie to see.

MY TOP TEN TOPPERS of The Lucy Show

#1 ~ PERSONALIZED HARD HAT CHIC

Lucy’s construction worker boyfriend wanted her to feel attractive on the date - which was on the girder of a building under construction.

# 2 ~ Hedda Lettuce

This green feathered head covering was worn by Lucy in Las Vegas, then by a starlet on the premiere of a red carpet.

#3 ~ BLIND BAKING

Lucy can bake pies with her eyes closed - literally.

#4 ~ BUNNY BONNET

Trying to make Mr. Mooney doubt his senses, Lucy becomes a rabbit secretary.

#5 - POSH PLUMMAGE

Lucy and the Countess attend a classy wine tasting and end up under the table - literally.

#6 ~ TAKING WING

Air hostesses Lucy and Carol take musical flight paying trribute to their new employer, Global World Airlines, with Lucille Ball’s anthem “Hey, Look Me Over.”

#7 ~ SHOWGIRL ELEGANZA EXTRAVAGANZA II

In a nod to a classic episode of “I Love Lucy”, Lucy Carmichael dons an unweildly headpiece to become a showgirl.

#8 ~ DOLLY DUSTER

Lucy wears pink feathers to resemble “Hello Dolly” star Carol Channing.

#9 ~ FIERY HELMETS

Volunteer firefighters Lucy and Viv sneer at the suits who turned down their funding request. Ball decided it was funnier to leave the strap in front of eyes.
