Oh, I'd say it is a little creepy. Kinda cool, but definitely a little creepy!

My sentiments exactly, blognut!

I would have said cool, but now that I think about it...Flying monkeys? Creepy!

I'd say both, for sure. Very cool and very creepy. The flying monkey one disappointed me; everyone has memories of that part-that guy is too big~

The pictures are a mix of creepy and cool. Just for the fun of it, I think I'm going to stand in some of those poses.

I think they are awesome! And I don't love Kiera.

There's a bit of eroticism to them that makes me feel uncomfortable—these images seem based more from the book Wicked than from the original story. I like my Wizard of Oz to remain an innocent children's story.

The dark colors of these photographs give them a sinister feel, rather than the happy associations we have from the brilliant Technicolor of the movie.

That said, they are beautifully stylized and very interesting.

I like it but am a wee bit scared! And those flying monkeys; which I find really creepy; remind me of a "Gargoyle" movie I saw many, many, years ago!!

I musta seen the title for this blog post before I left the house to go to the farmer's market. I was on my way there and the song was stuck in my head and I couldn't figure out how it got there. lol. (and it's really, really, really annoying, so thank you very much! LOL )

Well, I find the whole OZ thing creepy, the movie creeped me out, I don't think I ever say the entire movie because it's too creepy.

and now they're doing a version with Keira Knightley? Why?!

And yet another total miscasting of a very well known character. Won't even go into the fact that most of those shots don't even LOOK believable enough! That first picture looks like they're simply strolling to the storm cellar when they should be running in a panic. The only thing with a decent amount of movement in that pic (other than the hair and clothing) is the dog. Then there's the monkey one where there's NO movement of her skirt and minimal movement of her hair, yet she's being transported through the air...

And can someone PLEASE tell me why they had to pick someone so skeletal? She's supposed to be a girl from Kansas who lives on a farm.... get someone with a bit more meat on her bones!

*gets off soapbox and leaves, muttering, off to the next blog*

It's creepy but I think that's probably the intent?

Well, that's Vogue for you… always wanting to look "artsy". I think Dorothy should not look that old (makes you wonder why she stayed at home in the first place).

I have a subscription to Vogue. I remember that layout. I like it, but I think OZ is inherently creepy.

A bit less less creepy than the original, but still admittedly a little scary (flying monkeys are terrifying, no?), yet also very cool (and chic) at the same time!

Wishing you a beautiful Sunday, my dear!

I still like the original better. Except for the flying monkey's. Both are seriously creepy.

I am going with creepy, and kiera looks like a statue most of the time.

Not Me Monday! I Am NOT Adding More Prizes to My Monster Giveaway..or am I???

NOT ME Monday is brought to you by the fabulous MckMama over at My Charming Kids . Please send your well wishes for her wee Stellan. He needs our love and prayers. Thanks! I did NOT curl up and rock back and forth sucking my thumb in a dark corner for hours last week because of the stupid surge that sent my laptop to the Geek Squad hospital during my MONSTER giveaway. I would NOT act like such a baby. Also, I did NOT cry so hard on Tuesday (and Wednesday) that my right eye was actually swollen shut for a while. I would NOT be so emotional over a computer. My son did NOT tell me I was EMO because I did NOT wear black all week and act depressed. I did NOT stand in the middle of my yard shaking my fist to the heavens and yell (in my Scarlett O'Hara voice) "As God as my witness, I will never be laptop free again!" I also did NOT roll around in agony in my yard screaming.."WHY? WHY? WHY is this crap happening to me!!!!???? Why this week????"" I did NOT feel HO...
