I had made this costume when I was invited to be a guest at the UK convention "Aya-con". The mascot for the convention was a mermaid and I wanted to make something to fit the theme! My inspiration behind this costume comes from some of my childhood favorite toys: Mermista from She-Ra and Dutchess Ravenwaves from Lady Lovely Locks. I wanted to create a sexy villainess who rules the murky depths of the ocean. Photographer Greg De Stefano agreed to shoot the lovely Kat Steel for me. If you would like to learn how I did the make-up for this shoot, please watch the video here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKL57lCV_QQ!
