Day 333-Cinema Tuesday-Wizard of Oz

Tonight was a screening of Wizard of Oz and it was quite a treat to see it on the big screen! We got there and there were little cakes waiting for us with different things. I got ruby slippers and my Mum got Glinda the Good Witch.

I took my Nana with us as well and she enjoyed it a lot.

It had to be the rubby slippers and the poppies from 'Wizard of Oz' - my favourite!

You can never have too many pairs of shoes! All wardrobes should include a magical pair such as Ruby Slippers to take you to OZ and of course those fabulous pink ballet pumps for partying the night away, go on ... ‘Put on your dancing shoes!’

These socks were knit from my own pattern, which I really don't consider a complete success. I was trying to design something that would work well with handpainted yarns, but I didn't really achieve my desired effect. The stitch pattern I used (I thought it was "Checkered Acre" from Barbara Walker's first stitch dictionary, but upon closer inspection, it's not, so I don't know what the stitch pattern is, except something that I jumbled up) is highly textured. For this reason, I kept the patterning on the leg only, and went with a 3x3 ribbing on the foot. Otherwise, I think the socks would have been terribly uncomfortable in shoes.

Shoe: Look at me. Am I not wonderful?

Lady: You are the most wonderful shoe in the world. I fall to my knees and weep with pleasure when I am with you.

Pause

Lady: You are BEAUTY, you are truth. In you I find my SALVATION.

Shoe: Thank you. You are a nice lady.

Dorothy's magic ruby slippers. Looks like that yellow brick road was not kind to them.

Oz 2012

Over 70 years ago Dorothy tapped the heels of these shoes together and returned to Kansas from OZ

The ruby slippers are the shoes worn by Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) in the 1939 MGM movie The Wizard of Oz. Because of their iconic stature, they are now among the most treasured and valuable of film memorabilia. As was customary for important props, a number of pairs were made for the film, though the exact number is unknown. Five pairs are known to have survived; one pair was stolen in 2005 and has never been recovered

June 10th (Judy Garland's birthday) the retro characters first made a comeback to Land of Oz since 1975. Costumes made by Billy Ferguson.
