NBC's The Wiz: Live! is almost here and although we’ve already got a pretty extensive look into the reimagined world of Oz — one character remained a secret … until now.

    

Vanity Fair just released photos of Mary J. Blige as the Wicked Witch of the West! Serving steam punk realness with a dash of glamor, Mary J. is stunning.
For a full behind-the-scenes look at the making of this extravaganza, tune into NBC on Nov. 25th for a Making of the Wiz special and don't miss the live event on Dec. 3rd.

Trying to figure out if the cute woman at the farmer’s market is a lesbian? Checking her belt loop is one way to find out!
Much like Doc Martins and thumb rings, carabiners — the metal D-shaped ring that was popularized by mountain climbers and frequently used as a key ring — aren’t just a useful tool but a way to communicate your sexuality to other queer women.
