I had a great time filming my last mermaid video, my swim spot was much shallower than expected but I still made it work! I used screenshots from the video and edited some pretty cool photos here. This is this tail’s last swim since it had gone somewhat threadbare. Working on getting my next one!
Getting to take out screenshots of splashing was really fun! As normally I film underwater and well, underwater you can’t see any of the splashing.
I filled in the evening so I got a slight golden glow. Had I waited just a bit longer I think it could have been even greater. Next time I might see about using a golden hour calculators
I like this shot the most. It’s really too long sideways in composition to share on Instagram so I shared it here. There was a rock ubder the water I was able to balance on.
Finally got to a Lolita meetup! It’s been forever since I’ve been able to go to one due to my limited transportation, fortunately I lucked out and a car was available for me to go. One of my comm members and I realized it had literally been 2 years since we’ve seen each other! We message on and off so neither one of us had fully realized that! We went out to a nice little brunch spot at 1pm. I suggested it wasn’t really brunch since it was past noon, but they stated we were still at the restaurants brunch time. I conceded my point after that. We celebrated on Sunday instead of Saturday since that’s when the most comm members were free.
My brunch! I had already had eggs and had been up since 7am, so I was feeling more the lunch side.
My comm members all had very cute coords, without intending to one half of the table had black and white and the other was pink and red. I was on the pink and red side. I adore the casual vibe of Lolita meetups and how there is always something we can talk about due to having such a unique shared hobby. You can sit for an hour and still be noticing little details in other people’s coords.
My hibiscus lemonade, ended up matching my outfit. 90% of the table ended up getting lemonade.
It was so great catching up with everyone. We all talked about how our jobs were going and what events we might want to try to attend together. There was some half-joking discussion of renting a passenger van for a road trip. I’m hoping to go to the Gilded Age in November and some comm members might be coming with me!
On the way home I stopped to take some pictures! On insta I got a compliment on how beautiful the location was but this was literally a rest stop off the interstate on the way home because I knew as soon as I was home I was going to be so over being in this whole get up.
Honestly think this might be my new profile pic. I love this and although the little art I commissioned is adorable and I love it. It doesn’t really match my style anymore.
I hope everyone had a great time celebrating in whatever way they could!
