Are we talking about the slippers from the 1939 feelm? :o
...Yeah, you can tell they're not quite so red in Return to Oz (...they used the original pair from 1939 in it!).

Pretty much, yeah, Beth. Shiny silver slippers!

Facade: Sort of. Silver in the original story, red in the film, a bit of both in Wicked.

Oh! Wait, what are we talking about? :shock:

I'm lost now! :gonk:

The shoes in Wicked are ruby! They were crafted from rubies...
Are you saying they shone silver, though?
'Cause they also shone blue, for that matter! :P

The wizard of oz slippers.

We're talking about how the famous ruby slippers aren't always ruby, depending on the version of the story.

Anyone gonna beat me into a bloody pulp? i mean seriously, IM ON GOD MODE FOR PETE SAKE! and i got like... 99999 ah... *transforms back into human* who wants to go to the beach?

Oh. Yeah, they were silver in the books! :lol:
...Which reminds me!
The plan is to read the Oz books this summer. I doubt I'll get all that far, but hey! It's a plan nevertheless!
(Baum's writings feel too kiddyish to keep my attention for all too long...)

I keep meaning to read them, too, Facade. But I keep getting distracted by other things. :gonk: I'm kinda surprised you haven't, though.

I read a lot :P

I've had the books for probably three years now, but I've yet to actually read them! :gonk:
I keep telling myself I will... But look where that's gotten me. :roll:

We have them.... and I started the first a few years ago, then went to read something else and forgot totally about it. :X

that is so cool!!

I hadn't heard that before, Kat, but it's cool. Ahh, the mysteries of the changing literary shoes...

apparently the chinese culture really has monster mother inlaws because the newly wed couple was required to live in the husbands parents house for a short time after marriage and the new wife was supposed to do house work for them all or something.

OH COME ON! ruby slippers? THEYRE JUST RUBY SLI-- *Gets crushed by GIANT RUBY SHOES* X_X

that sounds crappy kat.

i'm watching magic knight rayearth.

That... does not sound very cool, Kat. oO

its sounds evil.

ooh, is it good wings?

it's pretty funny!

Wings, I started reading the manga of that, but didn't get very far for whatever reason.

huh, during the summer I intend to do a lot of movie and anime watching.

it's interesting, i'm watching it cuz one of my friends bought it
