Ozma is often depicted holding a golden staff with the Oz logo of the Z overlapping the O, just like what is on her crown. I hadn’t initially planned on it in the beginning, but I ended up deciding on a whim to make a staff. I’m glad that she was able to help me I don’t think the dress would have turned out even half as nice if she hadn’t been there to assist me in my sewing crisis. Kat explained a lot to me that day about sewing that I never knew and was a really big help completing that project.
I don’t know what she did, but whatever adjustments she made quickly fixed the problem and I was finally able to sew my dress. After a lot of back and forth with my friend Kat (the one who had loaned me the machine) she eventually told me to bring everything over and she offered to help me out. I didn’t know what to do, I hadn’t used a sewing machine since I was about 12, and even then I had never sewn anything this big, only small projects like a bag, a simple top, or a decorative pillow.

I was iffy about it, but as I read about her, I liked her character and instantly got ideas in my mind on how to design her costume.
Frank Baum, but was never really mentioned in the films aside from the 1985 Wizard of Oz “sequel” Return to Oz. Princess Ozma is a central figure in the original books by L. Steve suggested to me that I play Princess Ozma, and sent me some information on her character. All the research I did really makes me want to read the original books.

Frank Baum, and the movie barely scratches the surface of the story he wrote, from what I have read. The story actually came from a series of books by L. When I, like most people, thought of the Wizard of Oz I thought of the 1939 movie….and to a lesser extent the “sequel” from the 80’s: Return to Oz. Steve sent me a chart of characters, and it floored me to see how many characters comprised the Oz universe that I had never even heard of. I never realized prior to this event just how extensive the Oz universe is. By the time I had joined in, the main canon characters (Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and Wicked Witch of the West) were all taken, so I had to select from the more obscure Oz characters. He had planned the event out so that each person showing up would be a different character, and we wouldn’t have 50 Dorothys and Wicked Witches of the West running around. Also, instead of having everyone come as whatever character they wished, he discussed characters with each of the attendees ahead of time and planned out the concept. Each of these back drops was amazingly detailed and very well done.
Over the course of at least 2 months he painted backdrops of multiple Oz scenes to use for the shoot. Steve was very meticulous in his planning. I hadn’t done a meet and greet in a while and the theme sounded fun, so I hopped on board. Last Saturday I attended a Wizard of Oz themed meet and greet called “Painted Ladies in the Land of Oz” organized by Steve Freeman at SlyHorse Studio in Rockville.
