A Mermaid's Summer Memories

I did two days of being an adult and now I'm back home and cant let my hair down and play for a few days before I have to pretend to be an adult again. Who wants to be an adult... It's time to be something different... I'm gonna be a mermaid! I love being a mermaid hehe... 
I don't just want to be a normal, pretty mermaid though, I'm going to be a slightly dark and devious mystery of a mermaid... 

Dark, devious and full of light and mystery... Lurking under the sea in The Bay, she whips the water into a frenzy trapping fish in a myriad of bubbles, to bring up enough magic to share a memory of a dream she had that she loved... One time when she was happy, able to be on land and build the most perfect of sandcastles, all thanks to a Summer Memori Orb - from Petrichor... 

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

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...

Just Keep Swimming

Following my epic dive bomb into the swimming pool yesterday, I'm truly enjoying being a mermaid that walks on land... Days like today when I get the chance to swim feel epic... Cool, clean - albeit chlorinated - water, and the chance to feel the softness of it brushing over my skin... It's like a healing process to a mermaid that walks on land! 

Now before I start talking about my outfit I have another confession to make about the pose I'm using... It's another pose, made with a prop and when used properly it's like someone diving off a diving board, but when posed underwater like this it is just perfect as a swimming pose. The pose I'm using is actually a new release from NANTRA called Flying Squirrel!
Now for her make-shift bikini! It's actually made up of two different things... The shorts from the Cynful Juliet's Lingerie set and the awesome MuggleBorn MyMermaid top! 
I love to swim... It makes me feel better, when I'm down where it's wetter, even if I'm not under the sea!!!

Tentacle Monsters of the Deep

I LOVE BEING A MERMAID! Aside from the fact that I'm a living dead dolly I either tend to allow my fae or my mermaid form take over and run riot from time to time and recently there has been a LOT of Mermaid me taking control of the way my avatar is dressed! It's not my fault, I can't stop myself shopping and there are so many different shopping events that are filled with Mermaid stuff... 

This time, although the colours are pink and blues, in pale shades, she's actually a little more of a dark sea monster with tentacles and a pulsing heart that shows through her skin! She hides in wait at the Lost Unicorn, for a prince to come looking for his Little Mermaid - forget the Disney ending though this one will be stealing his soul! 
The pulsing heart that shows through he chest controls all of her power, it's beat pulsing the evil through her veins and glowing as she's hungry for more human souls... It's a brand new release from FIKA, for Mermaid Cove, and it's gorgeous - though Maitreya users please bear in mind that this can be tricky to fit to the body type since it's not rigged for Maitreya and the unrigged pieces will need some adjustments to fit it properly! 
While on the subject of Mermaid Cove though, I can't help but point out this adorable Sirena Skirt and Thigh Tentacles look that comes from 1313 MockingBird Lane! The skirt and tentacles are available separately, but were designed so that they can be worn together! This gives them a lot of versatility - which everyone should know by now I LOVE - and because of the colours and patters they are a great fun pair of items! 
She may be under the sea, but she's damn glam with it...

Waiting for Sharks

GUESS WHO IS BACKKKKK??? That's right ME!!! I've been away for a few days in RL while my lovely parents came to visit me in Holland, and Rudh has had a bit of a mini break... She went to swim with the sharks, for a little bit of a late Shark Week Adventure!! 

In case you didn't realise it I actually love sharks... Not as much as Mermaids, and no where near as much as other things but I can't help it, it's something on my bucket list... I'm gonna swim with them one day!

Ariel's Mermaid Shoes!

An event opened just recently that I was super excited about... I LOVE mermaids, apparently it's a very in thing at the moment, but I've always loved mermaids and when I was growing up I really wanted to be one. So when I saw that there was an event opening in SL, which was for Mermaids I was super excited... I couldn't wait to explore Mermaid Cove. 
Now one of the first things that I needed in my life wasn't exactly true mermaidy, I mean they have fins not legs BUT if a mermaid needed shoes, then they would DEFINITELY want a pair of these...

The shoes are a new release from 1313 Mockingbird Lane and are called Ariel. They are available in 8 different colours and are decorated with some gorgeous scales and pearls and shells...
Then she went to show them off at the awesome pool  in Folly Beach, it's a special Mermaid's Cove Pool from Astralia! You can find the Pool to play in at the Backdrop City Folly Beach... 

What is she wearing;
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Shoes: 1313 MockingBird Lane - Ariel Pumps (Available until August 13 at Mermaid Cove)
Pose: FOXCITY - Silhouette Pose, Pose 1
Pool & Loungers: Astralia - Mermaids Cove Pool
Floaties: MOoH! - Floaties Gacha
