Girls would come in and complain how disappointed they where of the quality. we asked them to go pull the dress off our rack. They immediately saw / felt the difference that ours were superior. They then confessed their dress was shipped from China. After many years struggling to stay afloat we closed down. Americans don’t care or understand quality any more all they want is cheap disposable clothing.

Let me add, you could buy a house back then without being indebted to the bank for a 30 year morgage and one parent could afford to support the family, because the cost of living wasn't so high. Now two parents working full time barely support the family. There were flaws that needed to be corrected, but crime wasn't sky high in our large cities, etc...

[@AllenMQuinn]

They look like twins.

[@gramirez72]

Yup. Keith Thibodeaux was a very good drummer - still is - and the other reason they picked him to play little Ricky.

[@whewfan]

Keith Thibodeaux (Known as Richard Keith then) was never billed on I Love Lucy for a couple reasons. First, the show sort of wanted people to believe that Keith was actually Desi Arnaz Jr. Also, while Lucy and Desi had no intentions to replace Keith, they wanted to leave the option open to bring on Desi Jr. if necessary. Also, Keith recently revealed that as much as he and Desi were best friends for a while, and spent a lot of time at each other's houses, there were moments that his parents would "make" Keith come to Lucy's house or Desi's house to be with Desi Jr., and Keith had other friends that he would've rather hung out with. I mean, when the bosses want a playmate for Desi Jr, and there's nobody else, you don't want to say no. Keith also had a sort of reoccurring role as Opie's troublemaking friend on Andy Griffith. Keith said he sort of preferred that role because he thought Little Ricky was sometimes TOO good of a kid and it was nice to play a character that wasn't always that nice.

[@maryellenquinn5267]

He was not a trouble making friend to Opie Taylor..that was the spoiled new kid from Raleigh, who broke the street lamp!

[@maryellenquinn5267]

Too bad Lucy and Desi didn’t pay more attention to Desi junior, maybe his life wouldn’t have been so sad! But when your father was a notorious cheater, it effects the kids..I know !

Yet, they somehow managed to put out a fantastic performance for Miss Shore! Moreover in spite of Keith Thibodeux playing a character who was supposed to be based on Desi, Jr., the two became friends and evidently have stayed so in adulthood.

​@@laurenbendik2006 a lot of Lucy's programs were all done at Lucy's suggestions. Lucille Ball had to fight to have Desi on the original show, if Keith is there it all had to do with Lucy. Little Ricky was picked both for drums and looking like a double for Desi Jr.

Desi Sr. always touched my heart. He was very sensitive. Lucie said how he was on I Love Lucy was who he truly was. Gracious. Magnanimous. Friendly. Desi Sr was so musical and was such a great performer. How wonderful to see this musical show. I loved the Desi Arnaz orchestra on I Love Lucy. They were incredible. All the young performers on this clip gave such an energetic performance.
