ruby summer's mermaids and poets...

Once upon a time in a Glitter-Box by the sea... That's the opening line to Ruby Summer's bio on their website. I encourage you all to read it, all of it, and become as smitten with these girls as I am. I've never heard of this country/pop duo—mostly because I don't listen to country pop. Sorry, Taylor Swift—but this video of the girls singing an acoustic version of their song, Mermaids & Poets, is too delightful to ignore. The girls of Ruby Summer are modern-day mermaids all the way. You can listen to the studio version of Mermaids & Poets here, and purchase it here.

another mermaid magazine...

Novelist, Carolyn Turgeon, debuted the cover of MERMAIDS magazine yesterday. (Not to be confused with Mermaids and Mythology magazine.) Let's just say this is a special magazine with over 200 pages of mermaid goodness. More deets on Carolyn's blog.

wildfox sirene...

Wildfox Couture is known for their I'm Really A Mermaid tee, and for their summer collection they've created a whole campaign inspired by mermaids called Wildfox Sirene. I love the pops of bright pink against the sand and surf (pink conch shell!). Plus, they've created ANOTHER I'm Really A Mermaid tee. (Yay!) See the full look book on their blog.

katy perry is a mermaid for ghd...

Remember back in July when Katy Perry posted a twitpic of herself dressed as a mermaid? The pic that started a crazy mermaid war between her and Lady Gaga who was in full-on Yuyi The Mermaid mode? Well, the final images have surfaced (yes, that pun was intended) and they're for GHD hair products. Katy's mermaid photos were taken by none other than visionary photographer David LaChapelle! I love it. I couldn't care less about what she's selling. Mermaid win for Katy Perry.

timeflies' under the sea...

 

I don't think you're ready for this, because I'm not ready for this. But like me, you'll just have to listen to it—all of it—and pick your jaw up off the floor afterwards. Yes, that is a steel drum you're hearing. Yes, that is from Disney's The Little Mermaid. Yes, this is all very guilty pleasure territory. Timeflies is a band/YouTube sensation I've never heard of, but they're cute, and they sing about things being "better down where its wetter" so why not?
