How Lucille Ball
used her flaming red
head to make having
a babv fun and a chance
to look her prettiest
UCY IN WAITING
30
Proud mother of two — one brand-new — Lucille Ball feels pregnancy is a time to look radiant and glowing in every sense of the word.
"I discarded the maternity skirt from the beginning," says Lucille, co-starring with husband Desi Arnaz on CBS-TV's I Love Lucy. 'Instead, I began wearing 'fancy pants,' which I have in velvet and cottons. They're far more flattering, I found, than the usual maternity skirts that creep up in front and make you look like a balloon from the rear."
Lucy's "fancy pants" taper down the leg to a rather snug fit at the ankle and are fitted high over the tummy, with several rows of hooks in back which can be let out as necessary. She tops them with swingfront -and -back blouses in linen, velvet, gingham and tie-silk. These are so pert and pretty in solid colors, plaids and polka dots that she continues to wear them even after M-Day.
Other features of Lucy's waiting-wardrobe which are still serviceable are a full-length cashmere daytime coat and two evening coats trimmed with mink. The cashmere is plain and full, and with it she carries a big mink purse. The evening coats — actually, they're

coat-dresses in light blue and cocoa heavy satin — are topped by jewel-trimmed mink collars.
"Since good foot support is necessary," says Lucy, "I wore flats in different colors and fabrics with the fancy pants. When heels were necessary, I chose a shoe with a substantial medium heel."
To avoid putting up hair at night during pregnancy, Lucy advises a good permanent. "I waited until my hair was a good length, so I could trim off fuzzy edges after my permanent and still not look scalped," she says.
As her pregnancy progressed, Lucy found that she looked better with less and less make-up. "Usually, lipstick and mascara were all I wore during the day," she explains. For occasions, a make-up base, applied lightly.
"Whereas I used less make-up, I got even by using more soap," laughs Lucy. "I love to smell good." Another Lucy favorite is hand lotion. "I bathe in it!" As for perfumes, she found the heavier scents she usually loves nauseated her when pregnant — she concentrated on light, flowery fragrances.
And that's how Lucy sailed through her pregnancy with that famous beauty, bounce and sparkle at their best.
