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.

Well now you can – we’re going to show you how you can learn to swim just like a mermaid and make it look natural, like you belong in the water. You might have seen videos of real life mermaids who look so elegant gliding through the water. When you have legs like a mere human, it’s not that easy! So here are some steps to transform you from a water baby into a graceful mermaid: Learn the motions – so try swimming just with your body and arms, keeping your feet together. You can even try a flip if you like. Now try those swimming techniques with a Monofin or some Flippers on – this will feel a bit different as they will help you glide through the water. Now it’s time to add the Mermaid Tail ! Moving in these may feel strange at first as your feet will be bound together. When you know you can swim properly as a mermaid, it’s time to try and make it look pretty! Here’s a video explaining the steps, use it to get ideas for different mermaid movements you can try in the water. As you can see, it’s also a good idea to get friends to help you out!

The Little Mermaid - A Disney Classic
The Little Mermaid is amazing because it gives an insight into a world we can only dream of – the deep blue sea. What little girl wouldn’t want to be a mermaid and have underwater adventures?! We’ve pulled together some of the main reasons why you need to re-watch this mermaid film which made everyone want to live ‘under da sea’! Important lessons Disney movies are renowned for teaching children the ways of life. Whether it’s to follow your own path in life like Pocahontas, there’s always something to learn. One of the most important lessons in The Little Mermaid is to follow your dreams, however impossible they may seem. Ariel never thought she could live above the water but her dream eventually came true. Mermaid hair Out of all the Disney heroines, there’s no doubt about it – Ariel’s hair takes the crown. It’s so thick and lovely, and most of all it’s bright red. How many Disney princesses have red hair?! This makes Ariel really relatable to red haired girls all over the world and proves they can be just as beautiful as blondes or brunettes. Something for everyone Some Disney films can be a bit girly and don’t appeal to a wide audience – but this film isn’t one of them. While Ariel’s love life is the centre of the plot, the baddy is the scariest baddy in the whole Disney archive and there’s sharks, seagulls and plenty of other wildlife to capture attention. Would you like to become a mermaid just like Ariel? Here at Planet Mermaid we sell Mermaid tails, Tops and Fins to make the dream a reality!
