This is sooo hot Caroline!

**Mermaid Galene** · 02-25-2015, 09:38 AM

Thanks, friends!

**Lucinda** · 02-25-2015, 09:48 AM

I love the way your top turned out, Galene.

**Mermaid Galene** · 02-25-2015, 09:52 AM

Thanks, Lucinda! I actually bought the top on Etsy and added the feathers. If I'd had time, I would've made one myself, and it would have been a lot sturdier. Apparently the maker of this top used hot melt glue to add all the little flowers and embellishments.

So of course, the minute I put the thing on to go to the gig, it started shedding flowers and baubles. I quickly reattached them with Marine Goop, and we went on our way. It's amazing I didn't pass out from the glue fumes wafting up from my chest!

Glue? Seriously, whoever came up with that idea clearly hadn't thought things through. Did they start to come off in the water or on land?

Oh, I would never attempt to wear that bra in water! The glitter shedding alone would pollute the water forever. This was just a library gig - no swimming.

I wish more mers would consider the water quality when bringing in their gear for a swim lol.

Ok, so this is from back in October, so not that recent, but I realized I had never shared the pics here.
My awesomely talented friend Brianna of Brianna Olsen Photography was gracious enough to do my photoshoot and I love how the pics came out!(These smaller versions don't quite do the quality justice, though!)

I had so much fun being in my tail for the very first time and getting to make magic for a bunch of little kids. I never wanted it to end!

It looks like you were having fun! I love the color of your tail btw

**Mermaid Galene** · 02-26-2015, 10:04 AM

Lovely, Opal! You look so beautiful and happy and natural in your tail.

**mermaidopal** · 02-27-2015, 01:52 AM

Thank you OceanWhisper and Galene! I certainly was having a lot of fun, I had some great encounters with little kids that thought I was real and I loved it! Can't wait to get back out in my tail especially now that I have some new accessories. Need to get myself a mertender, I live 10 minutes from the beach but I don't get to go in my tail too much since I need someone else there! And OceanWhisper, this is one of my favorite colors!

I just did this shoot with Art of Women Hawaii and added the quote that I'm sure everyone sees everyday, but I thought it looked cool.

**AniaR** · 03-05-2015, 08:23 PM

I took some photos of Mermaid Mutiny

and fun behind the scenes haha

**Mermaid Enora** · 03-05-2015, 09:44 PM

LOVE it! Such a beautiful picture, as well as location taken!

What is it with cats and mermaid stuff? My kitty keeps trying to rub herself on my scale sheet. Do they think mermaid = fish? Because I don't want to be eaten!
