Fashion in Oz: The Good Witches (7)

And now we get to the actual final work I want to cover for this series (I might cover more in a far away future). "Dorothy and the Witches of Oz", the mini-series which... is bizarrely one of the worst and best Oz adaptations at the same time. This is their Glinda, here acting as the Good Witch of the North. Because you see, they decided to actually go for an in-between, crossing elements of the MGM movie with the original books, and so we do have two Good Witches, but Glinda is the Good Witch of the North like in the MGM movie. This is actually her "battle outfit" for the grand final battle of the mini-series, and as you can see they made the... let's say "interesting" choice of hammering in the "northern" aspect of her by giving battle-Glinda a Valkyrie in battle vibe. The headwear with the two wings on each side of the blond head being the most obvious give-away. Like it or not, that's what they did. Glinda has a strong blue motif, it being her official color, as you can see from her blue dress - and from a bluish-grey fur cowl that you can't really see well in this picture, because it is pushed back to show the blue-and-silver dress of Glinda, with little jewels covering it (similar to the ones covering her headwear). Of course, the blue and the fur were purposefully added to reinforce the "cold north" vibe they went with here. You can also see she wears a necklace in this picture, but I don't remember what it is supposed to represent. Interestingly, I managed to find shots of Glinda's actress posing with the Wicked Witch's actress in costume - except here Glinda wears a variation of her costume, an outfit she wore in Oz back when Dorothy lived there. You will see the dress and the fur-cowl are actually identical to her final outfit, it is just the headdress that changes, now being a crown of white flowers :

You can also see in those pictures Glinda's magical item - in this version of Oz every witch has a magical item, and while Glinda's is a magic wand, it is actually an unusual one, that is handled by the middle instead of one end, and can project magic out of both ends.

And to end this series, the other Good Witch of Oz in "Dorothy and the Witches of Oz", that unfortunately has very little screen-time and no lines, so we can't see much of her. But from what we do see, she was modelled after her counterpart (or sister maybe?) - except where Glinda wears blue, she wears red, and instead of the more mineral-like wand of Glinda she wields a wavy piece of wood as her own wand. Both are however clearly good-looking blondes. You can also see she has lots of red and white flowers, in her hair and on her dress, which seems to give her a more "nature" theme. Oh yes, and as I said before, this mini-series decided to mix together the book and MGM lore, so while the second witch is named "Locasta", like the original Good Witch of the North, she rather is here the Witch of the South - which might explain why they decided to give her a red color.

In honor of Hocus Pocus 2 coming out, I decided to post my concept art for a Hocus Pocus MegaMan AU

After moving from the West Coast to Salem, Massachusetts, a French-American sixteen year old girl named Ciel summons three legendary witches back from the grave on Halloween Night.

History gave the Samson Brothers a bad reputation, but in reality they’re actually what’s known as ‘white’ witches. They still practice magic but they didn’t get it from the devil or use it for evil (at least intentionally).

It was their mother, who taught them magic, that was the evil witch, and it was she who cast the spell with the black flame candle to bring them back.

They’re actually all half-brothers born from the same mother. Their names are Xavier, Zachariah, and Alexander.

Xavier is the eldest and skilled at illusions, botany and light projection. He’s the best at potion/medicine brewing as well as cooking.

Zachariah is the smith of the family and prefers using runes to enhance his creations. He takes much after his Viking ancestry.

Alexander had an accident with a potion when he was young that gave him cat-like traits, so now he has enhanced hearing and smell, night vision, a tail for balance, and claws. He’s the youngest, skilled in mimicry, and is considered a jack of all trades, master of none.

Happy Halloween!

Fashion in Oz: The Good Witches (6)

Moving on to another Oz adaptation: The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, which - being based on the original book - has two good witches instead of one. Here we have the Good Witch of the North, who is basically sporting on a sexier version of the Good Witch's original look (because that's Miss Piggy, she has to be sexy in every scene she is). I mean, you have the pointy hat (though without the bells, making it more like a witch hat, it rather has a white-translucid veil on it), the white hair and a white dress like in the original, with the addition of white gloves and a more traditional "magic wand with the star at the top".  You might have noticed the Good Witch's color motif here is entirely white (which isn't the color of all witches in this iteration, just the North Witch's color). But the dress is definitively much sexier than what the Good Witch would have originally worn - with quite a prominent cleavage, and the sleeves being of the same translucid material than the witch's hat-veil. Of course, I also have to leave this clip:

As for the Muppet's version of Glinda... she is basically Miss Piggy. Just Miss Piggy in Oz X) Mind you, she still has her own color palette - here a sort of mauve/lavender purple, with elbow-sized gloves, a big-cleavage sleeveless dress (just like her sister of the North), and the addition of a feather boa. Oh, and she also has blond hair, to match the idea of varying hair colors (East's red, West's black, North's white, South's blond)

I've got one more show to end this series, which won't be this one but the next. This one is the anime adaptation of the Wizard of Oz. Not, not the movie adaptation, because that would be too many adaptations - rather the television series based on several of Baum's books. It is "Ozu no Mahotsukai" (or rather Ozu no Mahoutsukai), and this is their depiction of the Good Witch of the North. As you can see, they actually tried to stick to the original book description, of a little old woman with a pointy hat and a simple dress. They even went to the extend of adding the ruff collar, the similarly wavy end-of-sleeves, and a little magic wand with an N at the top. They didn't include the bells around the hat though, but I think no one does that to better have the witch be separated from the Munchkins. What the anime did add or change was making the Good Witch actually fat, the addition of little glasses, the detail of her having stripped socks (probably to evoke the stripped socks of the Wicked Witch), the addition of a cape in her back, and finally the color of her outfit, which goes from white to here orange. I guess they didn't want her to detone too much with the fantastical and weirdly-colored landscape they had created for Munchkinland, and wanted to rather give her a more... a warmer, softer color indicating she is indeed a nice little grandma-witch. (The fact they gave her a cape, stripped socks and a pointy hat makes me think maybe they tried to subvert the MGM movie - because in this movie, a cape with dress, stripped socks and pointy hat are the iconic look of the Wicked Witch(es). I don't remember any other Witch character, in the various adaptations, wearing a cape... so maybe this was the anime's attempt at truly making a reverse-Wicked Witch)

And we get to the second Good Witch of "Ozu no Mahoutsukai" - Glinda, the Witch of the South! Here we also have some major changes compared to the book counterpart... She is definitively young and good-looking, and she has notes of white in her design - from her pale white skin to the white cape behind her back (which isn't actually white, but translucid, as you can see here:

We also have some slight... "sexification" if I could say, with a sleeveless dress with a clear division between the skirt and a very torso-fitting bodice that visibly closes on the chest. We find back a headwear of royalty, here a silvery diadem. As for the color palettes, it is a bit muted here, but this Glinda has the usual choice of turquoise (for her hair and her skirt) and pale pink (for the bodice part of her dress, as well as the rest of her palace). You can see the color more vividly here:

Overall this has to be one of the most unusual Glindas I have seen, to be fair, due to how... well, unusual her design is here. Or maybe it is just me?
