Under the Sea

I went to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade this past weekend and I'm still picking glitter out of my hair.

It was a fabulous celebration of art, dancing, wigs, body paint, gills, and pasties. A sparkling universe where drag queens and burlesque dancers (and me!) feel right at home. 

I definitely want to march next year. It looked like such a blast! I need to make some New York girlfriends stat so I have some partners in crime next summer.




Dollar Store aquarium plants + floral beads = DIY MerPom costume

It was too hot to bring little Piper to the parade, but she did slip into her Sea-Pomeranian costume so I could take her picture. I attached a bunch of plastic aquarium plants and gold floral beads to a collar so she looked like she just walked out of the ocean.
