Cosplay?

Meet Oz collector Billy Ferguson. A long-time member of the International Wizard of Oz Club, Billy creates and wears his own costumes.

From L. Frank Baum to the MGM cast, he steps in and out of character with ease. Whether’s he’s Miss Gulch or the Cowardly Lion, Glinda the Good, or the Wizard, he draws on inspiration from his extensive collection (seriously, people, we’re talking extensive!) to create just the right look for whomever he’s decided to be. He puts costumes on friends and styles wonderful photoshoots.

Enjoy this chat with the man behind so many fun faces.
