The Wizard of Oz
You cannot resist the glamor
Glamor / Glamour
1: a magic spell
2: an exciting and often illusory and romantic attractiveness
The learned of glamor by watching The Wizard of Oz on vhs. The movie was a copy made by someone and passed onto my family. I remember watching everyday while my brothers were at school. My mother would play around napping time and I would fade in and out of sleep with images of poppies, technicolor horses, yellow brick roads, pink god mothers and ruby red slippers. I learned of home, friendship and the idea of maybe the grass isn't always greener.
