I have the annual mid-winter gathering coming up and although I have a pirate persona, I thought of a walking mermaid costume. The only issue is that it is the middle of winter with over 3ft of snow and wind chills making the whole state at below freezing temps. BRRRRRRR. My fear is how cold i am going to be. Any ideas?

Usually at that point I go for mermaid disguised as Pirate or Wench. Wear a mermaid accessory or two and glue some scales on my neck or something :P

I have seen mermaids wear cloaks and things under their shell bras, like this-

Also if you want to do the icicle crown and have some left over.. they make awesome DIY unicorn horns (https://scontent-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/1383346_10151825925058751_1286028030_n.jpg) too ;)

the event is indoors but having to walk outside for smokes or to get food is going to be blistery cold.

iona: i like the idea of scales with pirate stuff :)
