 In Part 2 we will look at the "villains" section of the exhibit.                          Heroes and Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume A captivating exhibition that immerses visitors into the world of Disney, illustrating how our understanding of its iconic characters is shaped through the artistry and creativity of its costumes. Using more than 70 original pieces, including ball gowns, sorcerers’ capes, military uniforms, tiaras, and of course glass slippers, the exhibition explores the vision, process, and craft used to create the costumes worn by some of the biggest names in entertainment. Heroes and Villains features costumes from some of Disney’s kindest heroes and toughest villains, as well as insights from designers, photographs, interactives, and a special film. Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo! There are only a few weeks left before MoPOP’s Heroes and Villains: The Art of the Disney Costume exhibition turns back into a pumpkin after Sunday, April 17.  We will take a look at the "heroes" section of this exhibit first.                 Old Hollywood glamour.....ahhh...the stuff MY dreams are made of! Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall and Marilyn. I met Lauren Bacall. 1986 Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. She was starring in Sweet Bird of Youth. I waited by the back stage exit, (I know, cliche), when she walked out my back was turned. I felt a tap on my shoulder and heard "excuse me." I turned to stand face to face with a Hollywood Legend. She was 62 and so glamorous, regal, majestic wearing a black and white striped turtleneck and black pants. I couldn't speak. She somehow knew. "Hello." "Hello." I replied. She breezed passed towards her waiting car. For such a brief encounter, I was forever impacted.  I found both pair of shoes at a vintage resale. They're not vintage, strange, but I bought the gray pair with intention of making them over to look something like what Betty Grable would wear in Pin Up Girl.  I painted the soles red, then coated the shoes with Mod Podge. Sprinkled generously with a mix of silver, pink and magenta glitter! Sealed with Mod Podge (after several coats of glitter). Ooo LA LA - OBSESSED!   Hello Jedi and Star Wars fans! We're going to take a look at the Star Wars Rise of Skywalker movie costume exhibit in Hollywood. There are over 15 costumes on display.     Concession stand collector cups and popcorn buckets range from $9 - $30. The Millennium Falcon popcorn bucket sold out right away, but can still be purchased in Galaxy's Edge.                 This exhibit runs until January 27, 2020. You need to pay admission ticket to see the exhibit, no free entries.
