These are a real pair of the ruby slippers that Dorothy wore in the Wizard of Oz. That is my wife holding them, she is a huge fan of the movie. One of her relatives owns the slippers along with a lot of other old and rare movie memorabilia.
Purchased this adorable Wizard of Oz illustration from fellow flicker user. Check out her website for more of her AMAZING work! What a talent she has!!
These cookies were made as a gift for my daughter's AMAZING Music Teacher!!
My daughter was one of the elementary school kids that played the Munchkins in the local High Schools production of the Wizard of OZ. Her music teacher went above and beyond in preparing them and sacrificed so much of her own time to provide the kids with this unique opportunity. She is such a talented and giving teacher and I am so blessed that she loves her students the way she does.
First cookies that I have done since my shoulder surgery.
Tribute to my favorite movie. Evers.
I made these ruby slippers for a Halloween costume year before last. Badass, right? :)

Slide film, cross processed.
Debated whether to upload these as a three or seperately... Mainly because I prefer one to the other two. But I like them as a set too.
Mainly I'm just indecisive.
They have served me well these past 2 years and 4 months. They helped to bring me out of my conservative shell and believe that it's ok to shine and have a bit of cheeky sparkle.
But now... now, they're quite dead.
The sequins are falling off, the rubber is cracked and there are some massive holes. The final death blow was taken in sacrifice for a shot. I was stepping out of the office and noticed the sky was a fabulous shade of blue/pink/purple as the sun set and I took out my camera and was trying to capture it. Not watching where I was going I all of the sudden sunk down a good 4 inches into a pit of mud and the suction was so strong my foot almost came out of the shoe.
I don't dare attempt to wash them as I'm sure they'd immediatly fall apart. So instead here they are, my magic shoes, my ruby slippers, that little bit of sparkle brought to a dull gray background.
Thank you my friend, rest in peace.

The Ruby Slippers were worn by Dorothy Gale, a character played by Judy Garland (1922–1969) in the MGM film, "Wizard of Oz," 1939. This fantasy tale about a journey to a magical land was based on the 1900 novel by L. Frank Baum (1856–1919); it had previously been a book, a cartoon, a stage musical, and several silent motion pictures before MGM created its hit film. In addition to its many other merits, the MGM movie ranks as a milestone in the history of Technicolor because of its extensive color sequences set in the Land of Oz. The magical shoes, changed from the book's silver slippers to those with an iridescent red hue, were created by Gilbert Adrian, MGM Studios’s chief costume designer, and played a central role in the film. Dorothy obtained them from Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, and kept them from the Wicked Witch of the West in order to get home. Several pairs of slippers were made for the movie, a common practice with important costumes and props; this pair was worn by Garland in dance scenes. The felt on the soles muffled her dancing footsteps on the yellow brick road. The most pervasive and influential form of popular art in the 20th century, American movies reach millions of people around the world and provide passing images that help shape perceptions of and about Americans. Unlike most films, "The Wizard of Oz" has endured and even attained greater popularity as it was introduced to new generations of audiences through television. One explanation for the movie's lasting appeal to Americans is its central message: In pursuing what you need, you find that you already have it—an affirmation of the virtue of self-sufficiency. The Ruby Slippers were donated anonymously in 1979.
The slippers are one of the most asked about artifacts at the Smithsonian. They are displayed in the National Museum of American History, in an exhibition called Icons of American Culture.
