you know, informative.

I mean, it was, you know, for me as a designer, you know, the idea of visual magic, you know, when you think about, most specifically, going from sepia tone in Dorothy's house to technicolor when she enters into Munchkinland.

I mean, that's one of the most magical transitions that I've, you know, that I can remember.

So, you know, I have that in my bank of

imagery as I think about, you know, other projects that I'm designing.

There are other films as well.

I mean, if you think about Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or you think about Mary Poppins or Cinderella at Disney.

I mean, so at that time, all of those magical stories, all those movies were folded into our, you know, just our family culture, you know, and what we would watch for entertainment.

Well, I dressed as Glinda.

Yeah.

No, but I think that I was transfixed by that costume just to understand what it was.

What's going on in that?

You know, that fairy princess dress.

And, you know, it's very classic.

You know, it is an archetype of who Glinda is, but then who, you know, when you think of the Good Witch of the North, that's the image that comes up.

It's this bell-shaped skirt, tight waist, full sleeves, lots of sheer layers, and then sparkle.

And, you know, so just understanding, so what are those qualities that...

allow for us to think this about this character, and then to adopt that and transform it into the Glinda that I created, the pink bubble dress, that is actually Glinda's moment of coming to power.

That's right.

You know, I think that I was always transfixed by crafts and working with my hands.
