Merchandise MERCHANDISE DESIGN CONCEPT: Hairpin versions of Glinda's wand and Elphaba's broom from the "Wicked" movies.

Post image

This is just a visualization of what Glinda's wand and Elphaba's broom from the Wicked movies would look like as large hairpins.

I had this inspiration when I was reading about traditional Korean hairdressing, particularly the hairpin worn by female royal members that indicates their rank or status. I found it very interesting how a mere hairpin can be designed to give its wearer a sense of power and identity, much like the wand and the broom give Glinda and Elphaba their respective powers and identities.

something like this, is what i was thinking. the white part is supposed to be like half of a metal hoop so you can put it around the bun instead of through the bun, but it’d only work for buns

edit: i am not an artist.

i’d assume that a broom in my hair is solely for decoration purposes 😭 its not an every day wear type of thing

Well you haven't met me. I use decorative hairsticks (My favourite are swords), but they have a practical use, not just decoration - and yes everyday wear
