Television icons. Groundbreaking pioneers. Inimitable stars. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are all of this and more. For decades, audiences everywhere have been in love with Lucy and Desi and it isn't hard to see why. Imperfect people with perfect talent, this couple ruled screens big and small, all while being a part of a great, complicated love story.

Unfortunately, I missed Arnaz's 100th birthday in March, but since December 2nd marks the 31st anniversary of his passing, I thought what better way to honor Arnaz and the love of his life than by holding my blogathon on December 1st through the 3rd?

The rules are this: feel free to talk about anything related to Desi, Lucy, or both. You can discuss their films together, I Love Lucy, or their separate careers, such as Lucy's other TV shows. Since there are so many available topics, I'm going to ask that there be no duplicates. That being said, if someone says they want to cover I Love Lucy or any other TV show as a whole, you can still claim a specific episode. To participate, just leave me a comment, select a banner, and I'll see you in December!
