FeminInspiration: Lucille Ball


I love Lucille Ball. She's hilarious. I got a book for Christmas called Lucille Ball Treasures, and it is one of my favorite things I've ever owned. I have learned so much about her--she was persistent, hard-working, and never accepted defeat. Her romance with Desi Arnaz is one for the books, along with her killer sense of humor and willingness to make a fool of herself in a time when women were supposed to be pristine, glamourous goddesses. She gave that a shot, but ultimately ended up doing what she did best: comedy. Beneath that stellar timing and those comical expressions, though, was a rough past of struggle and loss. These are only a few of the reasons that I love Lucy. :)
