Mermaid Melusine reports:

What a start to 2016! Merlesque mermaid Ondine has been featured in Cambridge Magazine, in a special feature on people doing their dream jobs. As well as our very own professional mermaid, the article includes interviews with a firefighter, explorer, novelist, fashion designer, and more - so it's well worth a read. You can read the article by clicking on the link above and then going to "Read the latest edition" on the right-hand side of the page. Mermaid Ondine's interview is then on page 70 of the magazine. Let us know what you think!

Mermaid Ondine reports:

Mermaid Melusine was up bright and early this morning to chat to the lovely Lottie on the Star Radio Breakfast show. As you can see from the picture opposite, she seems to match the studio decor pretty much perfectly.

If you'd like to listen to the interview, (in which Melusine and Lottie chat about everything from mermaid life to burly men, and the challenges that escalators present to mermaids) you can hear the whole thing by clicking here!

Happy New Year 2015 from the Merlesque Mermaids!

The Merlesque Mermaids report:

Happy New Year from the Merlesque Mermaids! Wow - what a year 2014 has been for us. We can but hope that 2015 proves to be just as exciting.

The year got off to a good start for Mermaid Lily La Mer in January, when she flew off halfway around the world on a mermaiding tour of Australia and South East Asia - check out the beautiful Miss La Mer on a surfboard, opposite!

At the same time, back in the UK, Mermaids Ondine and Melusine were developing the Merlesque cabaret act, which has been a great hit this year - we've performed everywhere from Madam Jojos to The Scala, and from private parties to the Empire
Casino, Leicester Square.

It's also been a big year for underwater photography, and the Merlesque mermaids have taken part in several underwater photoshoots - they've even occasionally used a little mermaid magic to take on human form when modelling underwater. You can see a video of one of our photoshoots by clicking here.
In August, we ran the first ever Merlesque  Photoshoot. Photographers interested in experiencing underwater photography (without getting their feet wet!) came along to photograph the mermaids in a film-quality water tank. We were delighted to see all the wonderful pictures that they were able to take of our stunning sirens, and there was so much positive feedback that we're planning to run another shoot again soon - if you're a photographer who would be interested in taking part, you can contact us to be added to our mailing list.

Our mermaids have also been enchanting young and old at aquariums across the country. Merlesque Mermaid Lily La Mer swam at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire during the summer, and mermaids Melusine and Ondine were the stars of the Magical Mermaids Weekend at Deep Sea World Aquarium in Edinburgh, where they were kept busy swimming alongside seven sand tiger sharks and meeting lots of very excited little humans. The water in Deep Sea World's shark tank is icy cold - check out Mermaid Melusine warming up in a sink, opposite! Plus you can see a video of our mermaids in action by clicking here.

There have also been plenty of magical children's parties to keep our real mermaids occupied, plus a whole range of exciting events too numerous to mention; some of our personal highlights have been the Folkestone Mermaid Festival and the Summer House Weekend. Plus our mermaids have been featured regularly in the press, including Mermaid Lily La Mer who appeared in the Daily Mail, and Mermaid Ondine who made the front page of the Cambridge News.

Phew! There's so much more we could say after an incredibly busy year for our mermaids - but we appreciate you might be feeling a little the worse for wear after last night's celebrations... So we'll just give a huge mermaidenly THANK YOU! to everyone who has helped to make 2014 such an amazing year for Merlesque - shout out to the incredible photographers who have worked with us, the amazing streamies who have given up their time to help us out, and of course all of our wonderful customers, fans, and collaborators, without whom none of this would be possible. May 2015 bring you all plenty of bubbles and magic!

Love and best fishes,

Underwater Photoshoot in Peterborough 23rd August!

9/8/2014

Mermaid Ondine reports:

The Merlesque mermaids are incredibly excited to announce a unique opportunity for
15 lucky photographers on the 23rd August: the chance to photograph real mermaids and underwater models - without getting your feet wet!

Ever wanted to try underwater photography but been put off by the expensive equipment and complex set-up?  This is the perfect opportunity to dip a toe into the magical world of underwater photography, without the worry and expense. You will be able to photograph mermaids and dancers through the sides of a photographic-quality acrylic tank, meaning that you can use your own favourite camera to capture beautiful underwater images. The tank at the Peterborough Aquatheatre is make of high grade acrylic which is perfect for distortion-free photography, as it has a refraction rate much closer to that of water than a glass tank would have.

Lighting will be set up and tested before you arrive, and shoots will take place in small groups of no more than five photographers at a time. You will be able to shoot both a mermaid in full costume, and a model in human form; all our models are experienced professional underwater models with the ability to control their buoyancy, hold their breath and open their eyes underwater - all while posing and looking beautiful. We will supply props and costumes, but we're also very much open to your suggestions, so if there are any particular ideas you have for what you'd like to shoot, just let us know!

This is the first time we have ever run this event, and consequently the amazing price of £60 (or £55 if you like our Facebook page) covers tank hire alone. We will never be able to run this event so cheaply again, so please do come and join us.

You can find out more details (including timings etc.) here, or please do contact us if you have further questions or would like to book your space.

Who says mermaids don't grow on trees?

Mermaid Ondine reports:
Phew! Our mermaids have been so busy lately we haven't had much time to update the blog. But we wanted to share this video we put together a little earlier in the week, featuring mermaid Melusine and myself - in a tree. It was quite a challenge to get us up there, I can assure you...

The song we're singing has just been retired from our summer cabaret act - we try to make sure we stay topical! But our audiences have been enjoying the song so much we thought we'd put it on YouTube.

We also wanted to take this opportunity to give a shout out to March of the Mermaids, which is a great event taking place in Brighton tomorrow to raise money for the Marine Conservation Society. Although sadly our mermaids can't make it this year, it's bound to be a great day out.

Mermaid Lorelei is now back from her travels around the world (after a seriously strenuous swim all the way from Cambodia!), and she's been interviewed by Cynthia Mermaid over on her blog. Read it to find out more about Lorelei and her amazing adventures in Asia - apparently she's even been racing sharks!

Mermaid Ondine reports:

Good morning mer-fans! We thought we'd share with you all a few pictures from Mermaid Lorelei, our jet-setting mermaid who is currently halfway around the world in sunny Australia. All the gorgeous photos we're getting of her adventures are making me and Mermaid Melusine very jealous - we're both still in Cambridge, enjoying the wettest winter in 250 years! It's true that mermaids like water, but we prefer it to be in the ocean and rivers where it belongs, not falling out of the sky...

Mermaid Lorelei has been travelling with another one of our mermaid friends across Australia - they've been to Cairns, Terrigal, Fraser Island and Noosa - where they were interviewed by local newspaper, the Noosa News. Mermaid Lorelei has reported back to us that Lake McKenzie on Fraser Island is officially the most beautiful place she's ever swum as a mermaid - so Melusine and I are pretty keen to visit there too!
Mermaid Lorelei is now off to Malaysia (phew! That's quite a long swim), so if we have any Malaysian readers - keep your eyes peeled!
Love and best fishes,
