"One day I decided that I was beautiful,

and so I carried out my life 

as if I was a beautiful girl.

I wear colors that I really like, 

I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty,

and it really helps.

It doesn't have anything to do 

with how the world perceives you.

What matters is what you see."

- Gabourey Sidibe

A Mermaid Monday

aloha

[Hawaiian for hello]

a fun series of digitally altering famous people into other things,

like a merman - Jim Carrey

Today is a mermaid kind of day.

I'm hoping to see the mermaids in the new Pirates of the Caribbean soon.

I like unusual mermaids,

and pretty mermaids.

You can leave me out when it comes to

'let's make an almost pornographic image/photo/painting,

pop it into a mermaid costume and call it a mermaid' arena.

I don't particularly like ugly mermaids either.

You know, the scary ones with weird gill things going on

and talons instead of fingers.....

So

let's have a "nice" mermaid day today!

One of my mermaid Barbies. I try to collect them whenever I can.

very sorry, unknown artist

Do you know who painted this? Let me know:

"Mermaid Sighting"

Anne Hathaway

No decent mermaid day would be complete

without a lovely Liana's mermaid costume:

These are from her Paper Boutique line of paper dolls.

These next costumes fit her newer dolls, facing to the right.

Why not get out just a few beads, and make up this quickie mermaid pattern?

'Mermaid Mini'

Get out a few more beads,

take some more time, and make this 'down under' mermaid:

"I'm tired of all this nonsense

 about beauty being only skin deep.

That's deep enough.

What do you want -

an adorable pancreas?"

These next mermaids are just a few of the

Collage Art Doll Mermaids that I have made.

I use all recycled junk mail to create and hand cut

facial features, body, costumes, tails, purses, hair, etc.

I have so much fun making these, it hardly seems like working!
