Mermaid Adventure to the Norfolk Coast

This past bank holiday weekend I took an adventure along with some non-mer friends to the beautiful beach at Wells by the Sea in North Norfolk.  We had a wonderful time soaking up the sun, chasing the tides and swimming in the sea, which was cold but not as cold as we were expecting!
  
Of course we also took the opportunity to take some gorgeous mermaid photos.
The reality of being English mermaids is that our ocean is rarely the clear warm azure blue of the lucky mermaids in the tropics - our seas and seashores are usually full of bits of sand stirred up by the currents, and rarely able to catch and reflect the glorious blue of the sky, which does like to hide a lot behind clouds here. But it's still the ocean, and we love it!


We went shell-hunting, picking up many, many beautiful little shells to use in our future mermaid projects - much better to pick them yourself than import them through ebay!  We found a dead crab too, but decided not to take that home with us.

Mermaids on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire

Mermaid Ondine reports:

Those of you who follow our mermaids on Facebook or Twitter will already know that last week Mermaid Lorelei swam into the BBC Radio Cambridgeshire studio for an interview with Andie Harper on the mid-morning show.

The show was discussing graduate careers and the challenges of the current job market. Mermaids Lorelei and Ondine are both Cambridge graduates with degrees in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, while mermaid Melusine has a degree in art - it's not the most obvious career progression, so Lorelei dropped by the studio to talk to Andie about how Merlesque UK came to be.

The studio itself was a little chilly, but as mermaids in England, we're used to much worse! And Lorelei had a great chat with Andie about everything from our costumes to the practicalities of getting around in the human world with a tail...

Here's a picture of mermaid Lorelei in the BBC Cambridgeshire studios with Andie Harper. She had a wonderful time meeting Andie and the team - let's hope our mermaids make it back onto the radio soon!

Photographs of the Merlesque Mermaids underwater

Mermaid Lorelei reports:

The Merlesque mermaids had their first ever underwater photoshoot in July, and we now have the photographs back! To see the full-sized pictures, click on the smaller images to enlarge, or check out our gallery page.

The photoshoot itself was a bit of an experiment - we got the opportunity to play around with different props and poses, and it was a chance for our lovely photographer Vanessa Mills to get to grips with the twin challenges of lighting our mermaid tails and fitting a whole mermaid into the frame!

Mermaid Hair

Through the course of the underwater photoshoot we discovered new things about ourselves - including the fact that Mermaid Melusine has by far the most fabulously floaty hair of all the mermaids!

Mermaid Make Up

We had so much fun splashing around that we didn't want the shoot to end, but when it did, we were impressed by how well some of our underwater make-up had withstood several hours in the pool - particularly the mermaid lipstick of choice, MAC's Russian Red. A handy mermaid tip for any ladies heading to a pool party this summer!
