More Mermaid Tails

Here are some more in-progress pictures of the mermaid tails and accessoires: The pink mermaid materials Instead of seashells, the pink mermaid will wear starfishes on her bra :-) I made them of hotglue (let dry on a rounded surface), painted them with nail polish and sprinkled them with some glitter. If anybody's interested in further information how I made it, just let me know ;-) The orange mermaid materials I forgot to take a picture of the hotglue coral I made for the bra, but I'll try to remember next time ;-) As hairpiece, the orange mermaid will be wearing a coral fascinator made of a real coral that we spray painted orange, an Alice band, some wire and hot glue. This is what it looks right now (still need to spray paint the rest): The yellow mermaid materials (we already had everything, so I'll add it for completeness) I already painted the shells As I'm a bit in a hurry right now, I'll post more pictures in the next days! Spoiler: more mermaid stuff to come ;-)

Update on Cast!

In the last few weeks some things concerning the cast for the four shows changed - at least it did so for the girls. Sadly, one girl (first cast Jane from Tarzan) quit the ensemble what left me (alternate for Jane) with two shows to play Jane Porter. Second, but this time very happy news: our alternate Belle cast who also is a mermaid dancer, is going to have a baby in march next year, I'm so happy for her and her husband :-D But that means, she will definitely not dance as a mermaid on stage and probably won't be able to play Belle either. So one mermaid costume off and some more time to perfectionate my Belle performance and to work on my Jane costume - I'm not sompletely sure what it will look like yet.
