So, I think I'm starting to discover I might have a bit of an addiction or obsession with The Wizard of Oz.
It started very young and you can probably blame someone in my family for it. I don't know who gave it to me, but when I was 4, I was given a copy of the book. It was the first "big girl" book I ever read. Sure, it started out with my Dad reading it to me. But I wanted to know more when he turned off the light and left the room.
I loved that book. I think it's still at my parents house with the rest of my "keepsakes".
I think I was 5 or so when I saw the movie for the first time. I used to want to dress up as Glinda ALL the time. I was always fascinated with that movie and I've seen it thousands of times.
About 10 years ago or so, I spent the night with my friends Jules and Barb. I was browsing their bookshelves for something to read when I came across Wicked by Gregory Maguire.
Of course I then became truly over the moon about Wicked the Musical. I've seen it in Houston and London and am considering a trip to Stuttgart to see it there. I think it is in German and I would love to have that experience.
While I was deployed to Afghanistan, I bought a special edition of the DVD. It came with all sorts of goodies.
So, yesterday, I realized I might have an issue when we went to take family portraits. I didn't really realize it until I got home, but my hair was awfully "Dorothy-esque"!!!!
I even dyed my eyes to match my....well, not really. But I did have my contacts in. :)
You tell me. Am I obsessed? Or just a really big fan of a great story.
