I woke up not feeling well, I have a bad cold I guess, and receiving bad news, one of my dear family friends is not doing well. Normally I enjoy this project and not really feel the need for it, today I really needed the ability to turn off my brain from the world and just laugh.
Lucy, like any other woman in the 50’s, wanted a fur coat really bad, not just any fur coat, a MINK fur coat. In “The Fur Coat”, Ricky brings home a Mink Coat for part of his act. Lucy mistakes it for a coat he brought home for her. Ricky tries to get it back from her every way he can think of without telling Lucy it’s not really hers. He even tells Fred to dress up as a burglar and take it from Lucy, however the plan doesn’t work and Lucy ends up scaring away a REAL burglar. Ethel tells Lucy that it’s not really hers, so Lucy decides to buy a fake fur coat and cut it up to give Ricky a heart attack. In the end Ricky buys a lot of gifts for Lucy to make up for the fact it was HER mink coat.
From the 20’s-50’s fur was a sign of wealth and class, now it’s a faux pas (spelling?) to wear it. Ricky said that mink cost $3,500, which is about $10,500 today. I can imagine why Ricky fainted!
This is not a very long blog, I’m not feeling %100 and I have to get ready for work. I promise I will have a better one tomorrow. Have a happy day every one!
