“Originally, the plan was to use a green screen to give Darby a CGI tail. But it was costume designer Gypsy Taylor who pushed back, arguing that she and her team could build a practical tail that looked gorgeous and functioned underwater…he's a more than capable swimmer. He volunteered to film as much of the scene as he could, even if that meant learning to swim with a monofin.”

Take THAT, Disney’s live action Little Mermaid .

In all seriousness if the Emily Windsnap movies become live action, I really hope we get handmade mermaid/merman tails like this one.

Work for art contest "Mermaid Festival": cosplay of the compass jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella), as presented by Dolores Madrigal, or just the girl loosely based on her, or maybe, even actual jellyfish girl creature?

Happy Mermay!

The way Hailey Bailey's hair was styled the in the little mermaid was just so stunning, she looks like a sea goddes and I love it!

I love how they styled the dreadlocks with loose strands of hair and the red color looks beautiful, I do wish the color was just a little more vibrant when under water because it looks almost brown but once she on land the color really pops.

ALSO THE TALE!!! I think the costuming could have been better in the film but I no complaints about Areil's mermaid tale, it is everthing I hoped it would be and I love the way she swims with it. Also her sisters looked amazing aswell.

Mardi Gras Merfolk

Aquatic costumes and parade floats of "Princess and the Frog" (2009)

How does that guy in the octopus costume operate those "tentacles?" The only theories I can offer are:

It's a sophisticated costume, like the "Dancing Pig" of 1907, with a pulley system or something inside.

He's a sideshow performer who actually was born with eight arms

There are other people in that costume with him

Meet Izzy and Nic: 1994 (OCs)

Izzy and Nick share everything including a birthday and a bedroom, but not an outlook on life.  Growing up in Middleton, Wisconsin, they attend Komrey Middle School.  Isabella always looks just so, her desk is always tidy and her homework is always done.  However, her twin Nicolette, or Nic for short, seems to spend her afternoons and weekends running from one practice to the next.  In class, she doodles all the time and has to ask her sister about the lesson she’s missed.  Izzy seems to have it all together with her perfect outfits and clean desk but when life throws her a curve, she struggles to hit the ball.

Last Halloween, when they were eight, Izzy and Nic wore matching black cat costumes but lately they haven’t been matching much.  Their mother, Christina, is disappointed but understands that they are developing their own tastes and identities.  

Izzy always seems to know what she wants and this year she wanted to be a medieval princess, so their mother has been working on her costume for weeks.  Nic can’t figure out what to be for Halloween but Izzy points out that she loves swimming in the lake and would make a great lake creature.  Nic uses her artistry and creativity and concocts the perfect outfit from items she finds in their father’s fishing boat, the garage and a discarded dress of her mother’s.  Nic worries that her costume will look unimpressive next to her twin’s, but Izzy is so enthusiastic about Nic’s creation that she proudly trick or treats through the neighborhood by her sister’s side.  When they get home, their Halloween buckets overflow with candy.

Next Up: Things get more complicated when Izzy and Nic Learn a Lesson

a note on this project:  I came into these early AGOTs over several years as well as their outfit collection.  When I set out to create this story line, I was pondering the question of whether or not AG would use any of the early AGOT items in the new line.  If so, what would it look like?  It’s an interesting conundrum: if AG will be true to their own past or go for something differently nostalgic.  As an experiment in play, I stuck with what I had with just a few purchases to complete outfits and diy’d a few items as well, as I imagine a young me would do.  A few promises - the leaked part of the story of the twins Jewish heritage will be explored as well as complex and impactful current events from the time.  I have the six book story arc descriptions completed and so excited to share it with you :)

Trixie the Halloween Fairy and Flora the Fancy Dress/Dress-up Fairy (Rainbow Magic)

Don't tell me these two wouldn't be friends. Like, it's probably just me because I love Halloween and costumes but also mermaids and fairies.

PENELOPE PITSTOP, relating her experience in a hot pink mermaid costume for a mermaid-type swim just moments previous: For a tomboy like yours truly, I do declare that it just feels so--interesting just swimming around in a mermaid suit! JABBERJAW, somewhat stunned: Now you're asking me ... especially when you consider that this shark quite often asks my bandmate Shelley along to join me on some swimming through especially wondrous coral reefs. PENELOPE PITSTOP: And I wonder why that would be, JJ--if I can call you so. JABBERJAW: Mainly to get her to appreciate me for saving her from assorted scenarios of peril and mayhem we've come across on tours--as well as get her to break the ice with me; quite often, Shelley dismisses me for "smelling fishy," "being like fish bait," and worse ... [going into Three Stooges tone, Curly specifically] Is it any wonder this shark gets no respect?!! Nyuk nyuk nyuk! PENELOPE PITSTOP: But then again, how would a shark react to the sight of a mermaid?! JABBERJAW, resignedly: That likely depends ...
