Mermaid Lagoon
🕑 Added 2022-02-02 00:28:23 +0000 UTCWhat isn't there to say about this shoot!
Cat (madcatprops), Madi (madidoescosplay) and I had wanted to do this shoot for little over three years and even tested out shells and hairpieces with a trip to Wales two summers ago.
I had always loved the ginger mermaid under the waterfall - she was so mean and pretty, I loved her, especially since the mermaid lagoon is one of the only things I like about the Disney rendition of Peter Pan.
So when we started on these cosplays we were all so excited. Cat made our lovely bras and gave my mermaid starfish, similar to the ones she wears in Return to Neverland. She also made our hairpieces and Madi then made our tails.
However on the day we planned to do the shoot DISASTER STRUCK CONTINUOUSLY.
Cat's sister was stung by a jellyfish the night beforehand and we only realised that morning, having thought she had just rolled her ankle. Given that the weather that day was going to be perfect and Madi, Hulda and I were leaving early, we couldn't postpone, so off we went, two mermaids down!
When we got down to the beach, our second disaster struck - my tail was too short. We pushed through however, despite cutting myself on the sequins and having issues with my left starfish not sticking on properly.
However the mood remained light as I took off my tail to help drag Madi over to the mermaid lagoon. We then did top half poses and honestly those pictures were just as wonderful!
So despite how the ocean kicked our butts, our week in Cornwall was delightful and incredible fun to say the very least and Kynance Cove was perfect for our location shoots!
These pictures also massively helped me with my self-confidence. I have a lot of issues with how my chest and stomach look, but these pictures are so beautiful and make me feel really beautiful when on the day I was struggling to feel that way.
Being a mermaid is something I would recommend to literally everyone.
