Ginger Spice transforms into Mermaid Spice
Mermaid tails are making waves in the celebrity world, with the likes of Myleene Klass and Britney Spears enjoying a break at the pool wearing their tails. However, our favourite celebrity mermaid is former Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell, who posted a video of her mermaid transformation back in August of this year. She swam beautifully in our Sunset Splash Mermaid Tail and Magic Fin. Geri’s daughter Bluebell must be mermaid obsessed too as she was seen wearing our “Mermaid Off Duty” t-shirt in an Instagram video. Our t-shirts are perfect to pair with our leggings, which will give off mermaid vibes even when you can’t be by the sea. Geri looks at ease in the water and posted about how happy she was to be taking Monty to swimming lessons. Maybe one day we will see all of the Halliwell family dressed head to tail in our products, now that we have our brand new Planet Shark tails for Monty to swim alongside his mum and big sister. The perfect mermaid family!
Working with The Only Way is Essex!
We were just reviewing the work we have done with ITVb and TOWIE over the last 2 summers. It was a truly amazing experience to design and make a custom tail for Bobby Norris for the opening episode of the new season last year. He looked mer-mazing and really wowed the crowds and the media attention was fantastic! We have all the magazines and newspaper articles and really do feel proud to have been part of the show. We loved the fact that Bobby recognized the on trend mermaid movement sweeping the nation back in 2015 "mermaids are so on trend right now". Bobby the wise merman! We were over the moon when the producers contacted us again to ask for more Planet Mermaid pieces for reality TV stars Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green. We supplied our MerPlanet Leggings in Starbright Princess and the Frozen Aqua. Both mermaids looked spectacular and used the Mahina fins purchased from us. They took to the water as professional mermaids! We all do believe that Miss Chloe Meadows really is a mermaid and we loved seeing her mermaid inspired Halloween costume and look forward to helping the fantastic staff and stars of ITVb and other media related opportunities.

What's in your fin? Ours has Magic!
We thought we would tell you a little more about the 'Magic' in our Magic Fin. The one piece (monofin) designed and made in the UK with mermaid safety in mind is the first manufactured neoprene monofin in the UK. It really is a premium quality swimming aid. The specially designed socks are fantastic to help mermaids have a 'quick release' and are designed for foot sizes UK 11 up to UK 6. As opposed to other monofins available that have strap related fixings that tend to have no 'quick release' method in place we feel the Magic Fin ticks the safety aspect full force. Not only is it lightweight and flexible it has specially designed groves and raised features on its insert to provide a smooth unified movement for the swimmer. The Magic Fin has been through vigorous testing and we are satisfied that it is the leader in the field of neoprene covered fins in the UK. The socks are a great length that go above the ankles and support the swimmer with propulsion through the water. The Magic Fin insert is flexible, highly durable and virtually indestructible. Above all safer in waters as opposed to other neoprene product monofins that use materials such as perspex and poly-carbonate. These types of inserts (perspex and polycarbonate) are dangerous and can shatter on impact. Please be sure to avoid any monofin with this material. They are easy to spot - the insert tends to be see through or a thin sheet of plastic. As a reputable organisation we have gone to great lengths to provide our mermaids with a safe durable insert that provides a pleasant and fulfilling exercise that promotes fitness and well being. Our flexible insert can withstand great pressures and at the same time is so lightweight that it truly is a match made in heaven for a mermaid swimmer. We sell a large range of monofins and we have a great pride in knowing that our flagship Magic Fin is a superior neoprene fin on the UK market. Be sure to view our short video showing you how durable the Magic Fin is!
Magic Fin Monofin from Planet Mermaid
It's a wonderful day here at Mermaid HQ! We've launched our new Magic Fin monofin that we feel is totally awesome. We wanted to provide our mermaids with a fin that covers a wide age range and that is both comfortable and highly durable. The Magic Fin achieves that with the nifty sock inserts that fit foot sizes 11-6 (UK), 29-39 (EU), 11-8.5 (US). The Magic Fin fits Planet Mermaid tails and really gives an elegant shaped fin that creates that awe inspiring mermaid silhouette. The comfort of the fin is truly excellent and the enjoyment of being a mermaid and improving your dolphin kick is achievable with this fin that hides away inside your Planet Mermaid tail. Pictured swimmers with the Magic Fin, from ages 6 up to age 15. Want to join in with the fun and work on the dolphin technique? Just add a Planet Mermaid Tail for the total look :) Watch your mermaid splash with joy.... © Planet Mermaid 2016
Planet Mermaid in EastEnders!
How wonderful that one of our 'original' tails appeared on a recent episode in EastEnders. The very talented and gorgeous actress Luisa Bradshaw-White aka Tina Carter from the infamous Carter clan was stunningly dressed in an opulent headpiece and our nationwide favorite 'Frozen Blue' mermaid tail. The scene was set - she was draped across the kitchen table at the EastEnders studio with an array of shellfish and a stunning glittering tail. Unfortunately the scene ended with the little mermaid not jumping for joy, well it is EastEnders!! However she looked super in her Planet Mermaid tail! We are very happy to dress the UK talent on British TV and have worked closely with organisations such as Lime Pictures, ITV, BBC and a variety of corporate events for awards ceremonies. Of course the only way is PLANET MERMAID!!!! I'm sure Bobby Norris from TOWIE would agree as he looks fantastic in his Planet Mermaid made to measure swimming tail. He made a strong impact in a recent episode of Towie that aired in the Summer of 2015. We have worked with various professional organisations assisting with events and coordinating high end products for display, promotion, tv, film and leaders of marketing know that nothing quite hits a spot like a mermaid! (even a tattooed merman can look stunning dancing on the decks of Marbella). The magical creatures are so spectacular that seeing them swim is a real treat. We have supported and dressed mermaids worldwide and love what we do :) We recently supported an awards ceremony for Celebrity Cruises in London. You can see the images below and I'm sure you would agree that the professional swimmers from Aquabatixs look stunning in their Industry styled mermaid sets from Planet Mermaid. If you are holding a special event and want to work with a creative flexible organisation then get in touch for a chat to discuss how we can assist your next mermaid moment.
