Being a Mermaid is not just fun and games, many we have encountered use their mermaid powers to raise awareness about the crucial environmental issue of protecting the earth’s water and its lifeforms. Makes sense, right?!
In this clip from Mermaids of New York, Mara Haseltine, environmental activist and sculptor talks passionately about why she does what she does.
Each of the Mermaids of New York has her own very unique personal style, some of them, I would even say are fashion icons. This is certainly true for Dame Darcy who always manages to look like a living doll (no coincidence that she actually makes dolls, as well). When we met up wit her last month, I was completely enchanted by this extraordinary chapeau :
Darcy is really an inspired and passionate work of art, herself. It was great getting to know her better – can’t wait to show you what we filmed! In the meantime, for anyone who has never seen Dame Darcy’s infamous appearance on the corny 90′s dating show, Blind Date, it is some kind of wonderful.
