Now, THIS Was Why Glinda Was Billie Burke's Favorite Movie Role!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                             Let's face it, dolls, an actor's role is as much defined by the costume as any. Where "The Wizard Of Oz" is concerned, just about everything Adrian designed was iconic, but if I had to single anything out, next to Judy Garland's Dorothy dress and ruby slippers (of course) would be Billie Burke's ensemble as Glinda!!!!!!!!!!!!

                               I mean, just look at all that pink!  That crown!  That wand!  Who wouldn't want to put this on, and wear it, and I bet Billie had fun wearing it each day she dressed up in it, on the set!

                                 Compare this to that cheap blue thing Glinda wears on Broadway in "Wicked!"

                                  Susan Hilferty's designs for that show cannot hold a candle to Adrian's!  In fact, her stuff looks like the stuff came from J.C. Penney's!!!!!!!!!!  Not even the Jacqueline Smith collection, at K-Mart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   Just proves fags design better clothes.  Travilla, Cecil Beaton, Walter Plunkett, Adrian.....the list goes on!  Sure, some of them were married, but the wives were beards!!!!!!!!!!

                                     Of course, there WAS Edith Head!  And she gave good costume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off topic, but did you know Elizabeth Swados has died? I know you like Runaways.
