Did you know mermaids were real? They live amongst us, swimming in the depths of the biggest oceans.. You know only 1 percent of the ocean has been researched, so what about the other 99%? One word, merpeople.. Well I believe so :) not only they live in oceans but also in my imagination! :P Yes! I have a fascinating for those 'fictive creatures'.. i can't help it.. The magic about it, the mysterie attracts me :).. and it wakens the little child in me, that wants to believe :) does that make me naive? Noo :) only childish I think :) Nevertheless a fascination.. I love mermaids, how they swim, what they are.. so this post is entirely dedicated to mermaids.. Mermaids from Madison to Ariel :D and I also have the 'tailmans' website! So enjoy..
The pic upabove is a creation from Zena Holloway, I think she's THE most talented underwaterphotographer of the whole world! I really love her work.. If I ever have the chance (and the money) I want to fly over to the UK and take a picture with her underwater :) She has more mermaids over at her site.. so go check that out! Check also her little movies! Especially 'Watermark' (sound any bell? :D) really gorgeous.. and that song!! I really want to know what the song is..
Where can you find mermaids on tv? On divers shows and movies.. here a few listed:
Movies:
- Aquamarine: Lovely movie :)
- Splash: All time favorite and romantic comedy starring Darryl Hannah and Tom Hanks!
- Splash Too: Not as good as the first one, but still quite entertaining!
- The little mermaid: Disney film about Ariel who wants to get to the mainland! (I have a small collection about Ariel.. mostly statuettes)
- The little mermaid: Disney film about Melody who wants to get to the underwaterland!
And there already talking about a 3rd one too!
- fragments on Hook.. (movie with Robin 'Peter Pan' Williams and Dustin 'Hook' Hoffman..)
- Fragments on the miniserie Hans Christian Andersen..
- She creature: About one nasty mermaid! :O
- H2O Just add water= australian show recently discovered..
- One episode on Round the twist 'The boy with the blue fingernails' = also Aussie :D
- 2 episodes of Charmed! (the best ones :D) I think it's from the 4th season.. 4.01 and 4.02.
- One epi of the Simpsons that was a superb one! :P
- seen a music clip by the FooFighters as well :)
- I have to admit as well .. 3 years back I went to 'The little mermaid' musical.. in Antwerp.. It was so beautiful, I have no words for it.. I've won the cd too with all songs too! :P
And that's all I can come up with.. :) there are more movies I guess too :D But "Splash" being my absolute number one movie :).. A regular guy falls in love with a mermaid.. but he doesn't know about it! Quite a shock it is, when the secret comes out! Also stars like Eugene Levy (American Pie) and John Candy (Home Alone) stars :) and offcourse talented and cute Tom Hanks playing the sweet cute guy, and Darryl as the mermaid. I've bought the DVD with a lot of nice extras too :D.. love it! *sigh* Thinking about buying the OST of the movie, I completely fell in love with the 'Love came for me' the endsong sung by Rita Coolidge :)
Hopelessly romantic Am I :D.. with rich imagination :) I hate reality, it sucks most of the time..
And off course.. what's with the tailman? Who's the tailman? Is he a merman? Or what?! Well Mr Tailman is in fact Thom Shouse, he's the one who's responsible for most mermaidssuits for most of the movies-series.. so he's quite the celibrity! His first creation made for Splash is hung at Disneyworld (aaaaah I want to see that!) but is asked for more work since then! :D great man.. he'll turn every human in a mermaid :P soo.. if I ask Mr Thom to send me his tails :P I can go to Mrs Zena to take my picture :P *keeps on dreaming*
