My mother told me that the first movie she ever saw in color was the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz. This movie, starring Judy Garland (among others), begins in black and white and suddenly sprouts into full color, was a ground breaking film that people of all ages still love, today. There have been other versions (e.g. ‘The Wiz” starring Diana Ross and Michael Jackson). Premiering this month is yet another “OZ-centric” film called: Oz, the Great and Powerful. A small-time magician with dubious ethics is hurled off to an enchanting land, where he encounters three witches (Theodora, Glinda and Evanora) and the opportunity to transform himself into a great wizard — and an even greater man.
The Home Shopping Network has taken this Oz, the Great and Powerful theme, and created a dazzling, limited edition collection of clothing, accessories, and home goods, to mirror some of the themes and characters in the film. The collection launches today, so the Advice Sisters have selected some our of favorites pieces (there are plenty more we oohed and aahed over), and we’re presenting them to you.
