Mermaid Ondine reports:
Tickets are still available for the amazing Honeysuckle Revue tonight in Balham, London! The Merlesque Mermaids will be appearing with our hilarious musical comedy cabaret act, with songs about mermaid life in the human world, alongside a whole host of other incredible fairytale-themed performances. The Honeysuckle Revue has everything from incredible bellydancers through to wild burlesque and hilarious ukulele performance! Doors open at 7.30 with the show starting at 8pm. Tickets are cheaper if you buy in advance - get yours here now! But don't worry too much if you can't make it tonight - we'll also be appearing in Cambridge on the 21st September. Mermaid Melusine reports:
We love this beautiful photo-collage that was made by the POPSY charity in South Wales after Mermaid Ondine's recent appearance at their mermaid swim event! POPSY is a great charity which supports families whose youngsters are blind, have special needs or life limiting conditions. Mermaid Ondine had a wonderful time meeting and swimming with the POPSY families before joining them for a great party on dry land, featuring some truly amazing mermaid cupcakes! We're hoping to see more of the POPSY family soon.
As you can see from the pictures, Mermaid Melusine was debuting a brand new green tail and matching green-and-gold shell top, meaning that our cabaret costumes are now more co-ordinated than ever! As the guests finished up their starters, we moved on to our Valentine's-themed musical comedy act, including some saucy details about romance under the sea, and a couple of our favourite mermaid cabaret songs. It went down a treat with the audience, and hopefully we have managed to capture the set on film as well, so keep an eye on our YouTube channel for further developments!
We had a wonderful time at the Willow Tree, and hopefully we will be returning there later on this year for more mermaid fun!
Coral Reef is an amazing facility, featuring a full-size pirate ship (captained by Pirate Pete, who you can see in the pictures!) and flumes - plus for the VIP party, there were real life mermaids (of course), a DJ set, and even a balloon drop. We had a wonderful time and the lovely staff did a great job of looking after us - it didn't hurt that we got to commandeer Sauna World as our changing room, complete with heated sun loungers and saunas - and as you can see from the photos, we even met the Mayor! Hopefully we'll be returning to this fantastic water park when it opens again in 2017...
Mermaid Ondine reports: Well, as you know, last month we Merlesque Mermaids paid a visit to Blue Planet Aquarium near Chester, UK, where we appeared swimming in their shark tank and doing meet-and-greet performances over the bank holiday weekend! If you missed out on the event, though, don't worry - here's a film clip of the moment one of the aquarium's beautiful guitar sharks swam up to meet me!
It didn't take long to discover that Blue Planet is a pretty amazing aquarium! We were swimming in a huge tank with sand tiger sharks, nurse sharks and lemon sharks, huge stingrays, guitar sharks, moray eels and much more.
Mermaid Ondine reports: Well, the Merlesque mermaids were off to Folkestone on the 8th August, to perform at the Folkestone Mermaid Festival! We'll hopefully have some pictures for you soon, to show you all the fun we had - including being towed through Folkestone's Coastal Park on the back of a truck, as part of the amazing annual Mermaid Parade. It was also lovely to see some familiar faces from the last time we joined the festival back in 2014 - and amazing to see how some little mermaid fans have grown so much in a year! Here's a video of our previous trip to Folkestone, when we performed at last year's festival:
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.
![]() 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.
So if you're in Cambridge today, why not pop along to the Ooshi shop, try some delicious bubble tea and get the chance to meet a real life mermaid and have your photo taken with her? Mermaid Ondine would love to see you there!
