Stealing the King's Trident

Whilst working on my blogging stuff and things today, I found my mind drifting off to another of it's many fantasy worlds and this time we drifte back under the waves, down deep into the sea where the sun shimmers on the water causing sparkles to dance on the sea bed... The mermaid in question today is not one of the ethereal princess types that floats into my blog from time to time, this one is a sneaky diva on a mission... 

There has been a coup in the royal palace of King Triton, and now in the Mermaid Cove the opposition have put some huge burly, Chubby Fish Guards - from Tardfish - have been placed on guard over the super important trident of the sea king... 
Triton has sent in one of his perfect Ocean's Daughters- which is actually a pose set from -Extra- at the Conch Island Festival until May 25th - while the lazy guards are not paying attention to what they are supposed to be watching...

Relaxing with Friends

I'll be honest with you, I am definitely slacking on the blogging front this month, what with the death of my fur baby and then a visit from my parents in RL, I've barely thought about Second Life and anything related. I'm running out of time to get things done, and even though there's an extra day in February I'm wondering if I'll be able to achieve this month's target! 
I had to do something fantastical today, being a fantasy character usually seems to help me get my creativity going... A mermaid, even when she's relaxing at home with her little underwater friends will be the kick I need... 

So what do mermaids do when they are taking their time off from swimming and singing and playing under the water... They kick back, if you could call it that when they have a tail rather than legs, in their underwater room - which in this case is more like an entire Flooded Apartment from Synnergy.Tavis - floating around on a Bubble Throne - from Normandy until February 28th at Abnormality - as she giggles at the adorable Lil' Sea Monster - from Tardfish, he's also available now at Abnormality - that snuck into her room...

An Enchanting Mermaid Dance

 My happy place always tends to be something fantastical. I'venever been very good at straight up, look-of-the-day kinda posts like some of my blogging buddies, and even though I ALWAYS love what I post, I know not all of them will please everyone. Sometimes I wonder if I'm too random and all over the place for most people, you never know what kind of picture you'll see escape my mind... 
Today it was something a little magical and aquatic... Enchantment has opened it's doors to the Mer Kingdom, and if you know me at all you should know that I love to create pretty Mermaids and let them swim through my mind as a happy place... 

Although many of my mermaids tend to look similar, they should as they are from the same family tree considering they all drop out of my mind... I still love to bring them to the surface and allow everyone to watch them dance under the waves, bubbles and fishies swirling along in the dance... 
She's dressed up for a party to dance, wearing her pearls and tiaras, but its the bigger that is the most special... The biggest of the tiara's was a special gift, a Mermaid Headpiece fit for a dancing queen - made by Boutique #187 exclusively at Enchantment until December 2nd - and it definitely enhances her mermaid vibes...

How would a Mermaid Shop?

It's been such a warm weekend, and it's only going to get warmer... I  say this because I hate summer, but would the heat just sod off please... I don't like melting LOL... 
I did get more than a little excited to find out that the new round of Mermaid Cove was now open, and that meant shopping for pretty Mermaid goodies! I LOVE MERMAIDS! 
It did however, leave my mind wandering in some weird ways, I blame the heat, and I ended up creating a mermaid shopping trip in my mind hehe... 

I got to thinking, if a mermaid was able to live on land and keep her tail, how would she shop?! Would she have to wear a reverse oxygen tank full of water? Will she be able to ride around in a bathtub full of water to keep her scales from drying out, almost like people that use a mobility scooter?! 
Perhaps if she was going to drive a bath, she might want one like a Bath-on-the-Go - created by Ananas available at Equal10 - and she's such a clever mermaid to match the colours of her bath to her pretty colours... Her mertail matches her "Asherah" Set - from Fika at Mermaid Cove - of shell bra and crown, she had to ask for plastic bags for her purchases so that they were easy to carry... 

What is she wearing;
Headdress & Bra: Fika - Asherah Set (Available until July 3rd at Mermaid Cove)
