Mattel Barbie 2003 Timeless Treasures Collectible Doll - I Love Lucy - Lucy Gets a Paris Gown
In the fifth season of the beloved sitcom "I Love Lucy," Lucy and Ricky headed off to Europe for a series of misadventures. One of the more memorable episodes from that season (besides the infamous grape-stomping show) featured Ricky tricking Lucy into wearing a potato sack while convincing her that she was actually draped in a dazzling gown from one of Paris’s top designers. Besides the fetching sack, Lucy wears a white hat (actually a horse’s feedbag on the show), black gloves, a stylish broach, and carries a simple black handbag. Although the joke, as always, is on her, Lucy maintains that look of innocence, earnestness, and, yes, glamour that made generations of television fans fall in love with her. This doll is not really a toy; it’s more of a keepsake for people who, after all these years, still love Lucy.--Charlie Williams
