Ok I'm on my way to the event and I thought I would post a pic of my hair and make up. I hope I do this right. I've never posted an image from my phone on here before. If it doesn't work feel free to go to my fb fan page where it's posted there already.

Oh, that's perfect! Can't wait to see pics of the whole outfit in action!
Oh good! You can see it! Yay! Yes. We will definitely get lots of pics and I want to do some quick videos to show off the sparkles. ;)

How did you achieve that hairstyle? Whenever I try to do a roll style, my very fine hair just sort of flops out all over the place. :doh:
LOOK HOW FUCKING AWESOME YOU LOOK! Sorry for swearing, but you do look fucking awesome. :D
Sweet!!

Oh my mer! I love how retro/pinup you look! Utterly breathtaking.
Thanks everyone! I'm glad everyone likes it!
The people that run the lighthouse loved us so much that we are already booked to return next year! :dance:
Awesome! I've been trying to get us a lighthouse gig, with no success. I even wrote a song called "The Light Keeper's Daughter," but still no takers. Sigh.

Awww what a beautiful song! You sing so wonderfully! Keep your chin up, I'm sure a lighthouse gig will happen for you! Don't give up! :hug:
While there I was serenaded by a band called Shannachie. It was such an awesome surprise. I thought my Captain had a hand in it but he said it wasn't his idea. They got a video of the whole song being sung to me. I'll let everyone know when they post it.
In the meantime here's a pic that they got of it.

I lightened the midtones on this one so you can see your hubby in all those black clothes... :D

Oooo Thank you so much! I love it! It's one of our favorite photos. We call it our "Harlequin Book Cover Photo" hehehe ;pQuote:

Thank you again! You so rock mah fins! <3 :yay:
OMG You look fantastic! I am sooo jealous of your crafting sewing skills! I need to learn to sew darnit.
Any time! :D Just let me know if you ever need anything else adjusted...it's part of what I do for a living.
Thanks, Sin! I know eventually we'll get the gigs we want. We're going to start busking this summer as Mermaid Galene and Salty Stuart the Pirate, which is bound to garner some attention and gigs. Meanwhile, it's inspiring to see so many talented, creative mers successfully getting bookings.
Onward!
If you have a FB page, please let me know. I will be happy to post a shout out for you. (that goes for other mers too!) My FB is linked up to my Twitter which is linked to other online areas. ;)Quote:

Thanks! Our band page, Neptune's Keep, doubles as our mermaid fan page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Neptu...07121702667149 I've got it linked also to our Twitter account @VeryFishy Band.
I've liked your page, as well. It's really fun discovering pages by my mer colleagues! I love all your costumes, especially the steampunk. Always wanted to perform at a steampunk con. I made my living as a Victorian era Punch and Judy Professor (puppeteer) for 25 years, and I really dig the Steampunk Victorian universe.
Wonderful! I'll post something about your page tomorrow. :hug:Quote:

I had no idea that the band was going to come out onto the rocks and sing to me. In the video you can see me ask my Captain if he had anything to do with it. He said he didn't. I'm not sure I believe him. LOL
Not sure why they keep referring to me as Ariel. I not once said that I was "Ariel". I get that a lot. Must be the hair.
They said that the video is a little bit glitchy at the beginning but it does clear up. Enjoy! ;)

Sorry, I'm not sure how to get an FB video up over here. :$
The NEBP finally got a chance to post pics from this event. I've added a few into my album...
http://mernetwork.com/index/album.php?albumid=1096
The rest can be seen on their FB page...

All those photos look wonderful!
So..... I'm posting these here because this tail was my inspiration. These are also destined to be yours so I'm going to call them a birthday present. PM me an address to send them to?

So, I definitely just read the first three pages of this thread entirely with a rushed voice because I felt like I was in one of those mystery books: "Will she finish the tail before time runs out?", "What is something goes wrong in the sewing process?", "Will the event really be cancelled?", "Tune in the page 4 to read the exciting end to this marvelous tale!". I LOVE the little white rhinestones on your fluke!
Oh my goodness! Thank you! PM'ing you now! :hug:Quote:

....soooooo guess what I'm doing....last second.....again! LOL :eye twitch:
At least I have a little bit more time this time around! :sweat drop:
I just got back from the fabric store and bought a bunch of material for a second tail. It's not going to be quite as elaborate as the 4th of July / Independence Tail (although I did say that about that tail too!) so my game plan is the 4th of July tail on Saturday and a simpler one on Sunday. I'm thinking of a blue/turquoise tail with a white sash, red rhinestone star top (it's actually my other Jem bra) and my hair will be up in ponytails with red sparkle yarn falls and a white sparkly flower with blue ribbons at the base of each pony tail.
Sound simple enough, right? RIGHT!?!
Oye...
:doh:
Here's the 2nd tail for the event...
