I don't tend to post a lot of press releases, but when this one appeared in my inbox, I was quite intrigued. As a kid, I absolutely LOVED The Wizard of Oz, so that connection alone made me a bit fluttery. I still don't know how I feel about the whole 'wet sand' trend. I have yet to try one; I don't know if the texture will work for me, but the one featured in this collection does look promising.

ABOUT Oz The Great and Powerful
Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by
Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character.
When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious
ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks
he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he
meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda
(Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s
been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz
and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it
is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and
even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard
but into a better man as well.
“Oz
The Great and Powerful” is produced by Joe Roth, with screen story by Mitchell
Kapner and screenplay by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire. Grant
Curtis, Palak Patel, Philip Steuer and Josh Donen are serving as executive
producers. “Oz The Great and Powerful” opens in U.S. theaters on March 8, 2013.
