costume critiques? (gentle, please!)

[Mermaid Little Jewel]

, I am trying to come up with a water nymph like costume for storytelling. I've mentioned it on Mernetwork before. I can't seem to get any storytelling gigs in town. The library systems and most schools want the telling backed by lesson plans, etc. What will the children LEARN from this? I was flat out told that even if I had a stellar plan they almost never let anyone other than a librarian present anything to the kids, paid or unpaid. I just want to share some fun and stories! So I decided I will try doing either a selfie video or have someone film me on my phone. Before I post anything to You Tube, FB, whatever, I want to test different looks. Is anyone here willing to critique stuff and offer hints.
I can't figure out how to post photos here though!

[PearlieMae]

Skip the library and spend a few dollars for a space at a local art and craft show, farmers market, or flea market. Have"story time" at regular intervals (post the times), and pose for pictures with kids in between the stories (everyone has a camera phone these days). Have a big tip jar for donations, and plenty of business cards if you are promoting yourself as a business.

As for uploading photos: Click the icon that looks like a tree and upload or link to your photos. If you upload, make sure they are smaller than 850 pixels on the longest side.

Thank you Pearlie Mae! I think I will try to do either buy or wrangle some time at an art event or kids fair.
I actually shot a test video on my android phone tonight, about a minute long. I had no full costume and little clue how to film it, but the results were passable I think. I was just making something up as I went along, and had a lot of fun.
Maybe if I shoot some video clips and post them to FB it would be a good "marketing tool." If not, maybe the videos will still amuse someone.

Take a look at the water fairies thread for ideas on water nymph costumes

[PearlieMae]

Use your camera to further develop your character, make videos of yourself to review, but don't post them just yet...you'll want to perfect your character before marketing yourself. Talk to the camera like Fred Rogers, of Mr Rogers' Neighborhood. He spoke to the camera as though he were addressing one person - you!

Oh, pearlie, that's such a great idea!
