Captain Lucille Ball

Captain Lucille Ball!! I chose green for her uniform as a nod to Kirk’s green tunic, and for art design reasons. I love this soooo much!! If you didn’t know, Lucille Ball helped get the original Star Trek the green light. Thanks to her love of the ideas Trek promotes, I have been a fan since I was 12. It’s got me through so much life, I am so grateful. I also have loved I Love Lucy and Lucille Ball my whole life. She’s influenced so much of who I am, and my comedy. I also love it when people tell me I look like her, because I have curly red hair and sometimes dress the part.

Me from a recent wedding…

I hope y’all enjoy the art!!! I certainly enjoyed making it… soo much natural dopamine!!

I love the mash up. You can easily tell what’s going on. Lucille Ball is hilarious. Your personal style is just as unique and brilliant as your art!

This is a great mash up! I had no idea Lucy helped get Star Trek going. That’s a fun fact. :blush:

Also, love your selfie. :purple_heart: Did you have your makeup done professionally? The lipstick looks flawless! Everytime I try wearing makeup I feel like a little kid who got into her mother’s makeup. :joy:

@Manders I didn’t know about her helping either. That’s pretty cool to find out.

@spaceradish as someone who loves Ball and Trek I absolutely love that piece. Right up my alley. Totally awesome.

I have loved the story about how DesiLu saved Star Trek and this is a wonderful homage to that story! The green is the perfect color for Captain Lucille!

I do my own makeup, which is usually just eyes, blush, and lips. I don’t wear foundation at all. The lipstick is Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink, it’s the only kind I use because I could go almost all day without it coming off, and that includes eating.

Awesome job! I couldn’t tell you weren’t wearing foundation.

I used to wear foundation before COVID but I stopped since I was wearing aask and now that I don’t I just haven’t been. Getting dolled up is a lot of work and I’m tired. :sweat_smile:

I used to wear foundation and powder but I have pretty clear skin and I don’t like covering my freckles.
