I apologize for forgetting to post here for what a month? Anyway I literally forgot about tumblr. You haven’t missed much just a bunch of Marxes. Also I designed a postcard for The Marx Brothers Council Podcast which is pretty cool. Also it’s a contest.

This episode was done almost completely in pantomine with only one line being spoken by Groucho at the end in a police lineup. It marked the last time the three Marx brothers would appear in the same feature. Art Gilmore replaced Ronald Reagan as host for this episode but when it was released for syndication it contained Reagan introducing it.

Excited to finally reveal a postcard design I made for The Marx Brothers Council Podcast! They recently opened a Patreon and one of the perks of subscribing is receiving monthly postcards featuring all-new artwork. They’re looking for more artists, so I encourage anyone who’s interested to check into that opportunity!

HATS! ~ Part 4
Miscellaneous Millinery
Outside of her four television series, Lucille Ball had a career as a model and a movie star - in both worlds hats were an integral part of the overall look. She also did numerous TV specials where her head was adorned.
Lucille Ball’s modeling career started at Hattie Carnegie, a salon where she worked as a hat model.
A few of Ball’s iconic hats are displayed at the Lucy-Desi Museum in Jamestown, New York.
In a 1950 print ad for Carling’s Red Cap Ale, Lucy wore two hats: a red satin jockey’s cap (the sponsor’s symbol), and a mortar board.
“Lucille Ball, too, has graduated to Carling’s - the light-hearted ale!”
In 1938, Lucy modeled ladies' hats based on characters from Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Needless to say, she looked “charming”.
Lucy’s got it in the bag!
In 1937 Lucille Ball was seen modeling a Coronation Hat. The coronation of King George VI would take place at Westminster Abbey, London, on May 12, 1937. Ball did not attend, but as a young model, was widely seen in this Associated Press photo. As an interesting sidenote, more people watched the birth of Little Ricky on “I Love Lucy” than the televised Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, where Elizabeth receive the ultimate in hats - the jeweled St. Edward’s Crown.
On March 26, 1961, Lucille Ball appeared on the cover of Family Weekly, a Sunday supplement to newspapers to model Easter hats.
The inside article by Margaret Bell was titled “Lucy Loves Easter Hats” and featured Lucy and her daughter, Lucie Arnaz, trying on various bonnets.
On Lucy Day at the 1964 World’s Fair, Lucy was accompanied by the world’s most famous hat-wearing gossip columnist, Hedda Hopper. Not to be undone, Lucy wore a blue straw hat to tour the grounds.
In the International area, the People’s Republic of China adorned Lucy with a traditional pearl headdress. At the Hawaiian Pavilion, another hat for Lucy - this one woven from palm leaves.
LUCY ~ A HEAD FOR FASHION
LUCY ~ A HEAD FOR MOVIES
LUCY ~ TV’S HEAD OF DISTINCTION
