JoeySanJoaquin Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Unguentine (a popular antiseptic back in the '50's. One of the key ingredients in it was lidocaine (for anesthetic properties) to help dull pain. It came in both cream and spray versions and is still made today), something Miss Ricardo could have slathered herself with upon over-sunning her person right before her scheduled appearance in Don Loper's Hollywood wives' "(The) Fashion Show", modeling one very itchy tweed suit, most suitably with collar worn turned up!
