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 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!

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).
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! ♥ Jessica
