One of four pairs of ruby slippers made for "The Wizard of Oz." These had felt on the soles and were used for Judy Garland's dancing scenes. Also, in L. Frank Baum's story, these were silver slippers, but were changed to "ruby" to take full advantage of the Technicolor.
These are the Ruby Slippers worn by Judy Garland (Frances Gumm) in the 1939 MGM film “The Wizard Of Oz”. They are located in the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. This photo was taken in 1987.
Sixteen year-old Judy Garland wore these sequined shoes as Dorothy in the 1939 film classic, The Wizard of Oz. In the original book by L. Frank Baum, Dorothy’s magic slippers are silver; for the Technicolor movie, they were changed to ruby red to show up more vividly against the yellow-brick road. One of several pairs used during filming, these size-five shoes are well-worn, suggesting they were Garland’s primary pair for dancing scenes.
The National Museum of American History (NMAH), administered by the Smithsonian Institute, collects, preserves and displays American heritage in the areas of social, political, cultural, scientific and military history. The museum, which first opened in 1964 as the Museum of History and Technology, is located on the National Mall in one of the last structures designed by McKim, Mead & White. It was renamed in 1980, and closed for a 2-year, $85 milliomn renovation by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP from 2006 to 2008.
The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.

Red sparkly (ruby?) shoes left behind at the kids playground at the Orton Park Festival. The owner is no doubt off having fun on a swing or slide.
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.
April does a lot of performing; spends a lot of time costumed and glitzed. So her idea for this shoot was essentially about being exhausted. And we immediately agreed... once she'd chosen wardrobe... that it HAD to be a gross, gritty, dirty, abandoned kinda backdrop. This place used to be much grittier but... every time people get inside and get a squat established, and every time dumb kids spraypaint graffitii... the owners respond with more paint and more plywood. Thank goodness they haven't painted or plywooded over my favourite pipe.
Tribute to my favorite movie. Evers.
I made these ruby slippers for a Halloween costume year before last. Badass, right? :)

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.

Kick the Turf in the Fairway and sing our fight songs:
"Oskee Wow Wow" or "Bear Down, Chicago Bears"
OS-KEE WOW-WOW
Old Princeton yells her Tiger,
Wisconsin, her Varsity,
And they give the same old Rah, Rah, Rah,
At each University,
But the yell that always thrills me,
And fills my heart with joy,
Is the good old Oskee Wow-Wow,
that they yell at Illinois.
Os-kee Wow-Wow Illinois,
Our eyes are all on you.
Oskee Wow-Wow Illinois.
Wave your Orange and your Blue. (Rah! Rah!)
When the team trots out before you,
Every man stand up and yell.
Back the team to victory, [Back the team to gain a victory,]
Os-kee Wow-Wow Illinois!
BEAR DOWN, CHICAGO BEARS
Bear down, Chicago Bears, make every play clear the way to victory;
Bear down, Chicago Bears, put up a fight with a might so fearlessly.
We'll never forget the way you thrilled the nation with your T-formation.
Bear down, Chicago Bears, and let them know why you're wearing the crown.
You're the pride and joy of Illinois, Chicago Bears, bear down.
..Oh I'm not a witch at all, I'm Danbo!
Danbo has his recurring 'Oz' dream ^_^

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.
