This past Saturday I visited the US History Smithsonian Museum. This was the first of many such museums on my summer to-do list. While wandering around on the third floor, I stumbled upon Dorothy's ruby red shoes. Amusing no?
The absence of almost all responsibility during the evenings has left me some time to reflect. Yes, Washington DC has a lot to see and do. But, in the end, there really is no place like home. I'm not sure what's so appealing about Dorothy's Kansas...but Salt Lake is surely a delightful little city.
So what size were they?
ReplyDeleteHow ironic that I just finished a Dorothy costume for Chloe so that she could nail her book report at school! Apparently, she knocked it out of the park.
ReplyDeleteAnd, to answer the previous question...the pair on display were one of six or seven known pairs made for the movie...the pair in the Smithsonian were specifically worn by Judy Garland and not her stunt double or the dead wicked witch crushed by her house...and Judy wore a 5 or 6 depending on the measurements of the time.
(Don't you love Wikipedia?!)
Salt Lake misses you too, Jake.
You're right Jake...there's no place like home. We miss you so much, especially on Sunday afternoons- hint, hint. Have a wonderful adventure.
