Regardless of which hubby is up there, it's still a great picture, thanks for posting it. Karen, if you insist on showing Desi, show the Lucie wedding picture, that one's also great!

Alot of people send out cards like that when they get remarried. Maybe Desi and Edie sent out a card with the kids on it too. :)

It's a nice gesture to do that anyway

Thank you, that one i really LOVE! Because back then, us regular lowly fans never got a chance to see them together again, like their friends and family did. You know at those frequent weddings they had! LOL! You do realize that Lucy and Gary and the kids card was once of their regular Christmas cards, right?

[Mickey]

Yes. Hideous, isn't it!

[Lodee]

Hideous! Now why would you say that? I think it's cute.

[lucyrules]

Cute pictures guys! I have to agree on that one with Juli that it would have been better for Desi to be there instead of Gary.:rolleyes: It's nice that Lucy and Desi still kept in touch though.:)

[SPLAIN]

It's a great picture, one of the best of Lucy and her family. Do you know what you do to me Mickey, i constantly alternate from GOD, I WISH I COULD SEND HIM A TAPE, TO GOD, AM I GLAD I DIDN'T WASTE A TAPE ON HIM, I'M ONLY JOKING OF COURSE, but i agree with Lodee, why on earth would you say that? Because they obviously did it in a studio with those fake backdrops, well, that , i actually agree with you, LOL!

[Mickey]

Why do I think it's hideous?! Because it's so bloody cheesy, that's why! Them all there, daft expressions, so posed, the whole set up - nobody takes that kind of thing seriously, surely?! If anybody sent a Christmas card like that over here it'd get laughed out of the post box!

Actually I say that, but people do send them. And duly get laughed at. Just usually behind their backs... :lol:

If Desi Sr had been on the photo; instead of settling for a false backdrop he would've taken the family to a Cuban rainforest or have the picture taken with a rainbow on the sky :)

[alienxg7]

Hi!

I have fixed the image ;)

(I put it through an image optimizer so the quality might not be the "best" but it should load fast)

[lucyrules]

LOL!!!!:lol: That's much better now.:D

[dawsongirl]

:lol: Nice fix.

Now someone needs to take that stupid hat off Lucie's head.

[alienxg7]

It's not perfect but I tried to remove the hat and make the picture look as natural as possible.

Look at my next post for the picture.

[alienxg7]

Here it is:

[Kazza]

That looks nice but Lucie has the Karen Carpenter look on her face. lol

[Mkaleek]

Hey everyone. I don't know if you remember me, but I'm back to chat again. My computer crashed on me a few weeks ago, but I'm happy to be back and join the fun again!

[Mickey]

Hello again. :)

You're right! Isn't that weird, because it's still her face. :eek:
And nice job on the picture there alien.:lol:

[Mickey]

I know Desi was younger than Lucy, but that much younger?! :lol: You slipped him in very neatly though. Lucie's head looks slightly odd, but then maybe she's just been having a bit too much Christmas cheer. :dizzy:

Although they probably had that photo taken in August or something...

Remember that it was the SIXTIES Mickey, forty years ago, everything was cheesy back then, and i hate to admit it but AlienXG7, you did a great job of inserting Desi and the picture DOES look better with him in it! LOL!

[Mickey]

In the sixties, surely everything was supposed to stop being cheesy?! It was the decade of rebellion and experimentation! Of the Stones and Hendrix, and the Who just beginning. Of fighting against what had always been. Not the time of posing like utter berks in a silly Christmas scene! What's wrong with sending your friends a nice picture of Father Christmas?!

:crazy:

Not for the older people!:lol: Lucy was like in her 50's by then. Cheesy was still "in" for her generation.:)

[crazyredhead]

*busts out laughing* omg you guys are TOO MUCH! LOL!

[Mickey]

Old people can be rebels too. Had bright red hair, didn't she. And pre-Sex Pistols too!

No, she had bright ORANGE hair. ;)

[Mkaleek]

Actually, sometimes it was red and sometimes it was orange.:p

[Mickey]

Even better!

[SPLAIN]

Actually Mickey, Lucy was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of her time as a kid and young adult and even a little while after that, but then she got older and hung out with that old stuffy Republican crowd, so she got ultra conservative in everything she did, but thank God, never became stuffy.

[Lodee]

Ahead of her time how exactly? Politically? Sexually? What?

[Amber8611]

I'm not sure in what ways Claude was talking about, but I can think of a few ways she was ahead of her time. Lucy dated Johnny DeVita when she was 14 and he was 21. Jamestown kind of frowned upon that and labeled her a "wild girl." Also, when Desi mentioned marraige, Lucy proposed the idea of living together first, which was also ahead of her time...And she was one of the first women in Jamestown to be seen wearing pants. She had to wear them while she had the 20 pound weight on her foot while recuperating from rheumatiod arthritis.

[SPLAIN]

Very good Amber, exactly the ones i was thinking about, i think the last one is fabricated though, to cover up something else. Yes, little girls don't get sent to New York at 15 by their mothers either! Lucy always said that she taught Desi a lot about women, and she never did need Women's lib because she had been liberated her whole life. First woman to run a major studio and her production companies during her entire career also.

[Lodee]

Thanks Amber for the explanation. :)

And splain, what do you mean by:

, i think the last one is fabricated though, to cover up something else. Yes, little girls don't get sent to New York at 15 by their mothers either!

It's not like you to be vague.

[SPLAIN]

Well, Lucy's illness was described as arthritis in some books and she used to tell this story of being hit by a car which i think was totally fabricated, but only her immediate family and friends know what happened for her to be ill for those two years. In writing a bio of someone, a two year gap in your life is always hard to explain. Which is what sent up those flags in the first place.

[Lodee]

Well if you're thinking what I'm thinking (or I'm thinking what you're thinking, I think I mean) then isn't 2 years too long of a time?;)

[SPLAIN]

Well, it was around that time, maybe it was only a year and a half, who knows? A person is still not supposed to have any time in their life that they can't account for, it never looks good.

[Ricardos4ever]

Plus she told different versions of the story throughout her lifetime and gave the name of the doctor who treated her (two variations of that name, actually) and those names could not be found in the phonebook for that time period. Kinda fishy, if you ask me. And actually, I read in one book that this all went down during a 3 year period. The same book discusses that the big gaps in her life occur between 1927 and 1933 -- 6 years. It poses the question that if her illness lasted for 3 years, what was she doing during the other 3 years that are still unaccounted for?

[SPLAIN]

I'd have to go back to read all the books, but i doubt it was 6 years, that part of her life never really interested me so i usually end up skipping it on repeat readings, so i won't argue with you, you always know your Lucy stuff. She was working in shorts and bit parts in the early thirties, and then there was the modelling before that and the acting lessons too, so that would account for some of that time. Leaving for New York at 15, some jobs she had and the whole Davita affair, it's very complicated.
