Now I’ve been happy lately thinking about the good things to come, And I believe it could be something good has begun

For the past week I have been staying with the wonderful Martin in Brighton. My time there was spent walking the streets with a wad of CVs and applying for any job that I’m qualified for. I walked so much that I have a large blister on the ball of my foot! It was completely [...]

When your moon is fake and your mermaids cry

So, I’m still job hunting. I admit that, at first, I didn’t dedicate as much time to applying for jobs as I should have been. My reason for this was that I was waiting to hear back from the job I wanted the most. Just before the beginning of the Bank Holiday [...]

Finished Fins

It has been nearly two months since my appointment where my fins were completed but I have now, finally, got round to getting pictures of my finished fins!
All the progress and waiting have been worth while. It also means that I can solely concentrate on the fish elements of my leg project. Next to come [...]

Let’s Show The World We Can Dance, Bad Enough To Strut Our Stuff

I can’t help but  feel like I am going off the rails ever so slightly, but actually, I’m quite enjoying it. I’m not going mad I’m just doing things I wouldn’t have done before and now I’m much more wired and dynamic. On top of all this I am feeling even more confident and happy! [...]

A Fishy Behind

I’ve not blogged much as I am going through a bit of a tough time. Nothing I can’t handle but it has just slowed me down a bit. I thought I’d try listening to the music that got me through tough times before and it seems to be working brilliantly. My emotions are forever changing [...]

I’m in love with a fairytale, even though it hurts

On Saturday was the event that I’ve been waiting all year for. Eurovision. I absolutely adore Eurovision and this year did not disappoint. Great show this year! Although I wish that either Armenia or Azerbaijan won but congratulations to Alexander Rybak from Norway! Also Dita Von Teese looked absolutely stunning during her appearance on stage [...]

Just Keep Swimming

Yesterday I had my first tattoo appointment since October and it was time for my Blue Tang to be born. I absolutely love it and the blue is just outstanding. Fish-wise my upper left leg is almost complete and then it will be time to work on the lower leg (and my right leg, of [...]

Back On Track

Today I was living up to my choice to only go onto my laptop when I have something productive to do on it. This evening I have (finally) got back onto the task of drawing up designs for my tattoos. Today I have been working on marine fish species for my left leg. Tomorrow I [...]

Copenhagen, Denmark: 27th February – 1st March

I decided that, for 3 days, I would go to Copenhagen to meet one of the most famous mermaids of all. Sculpture and gorgeous architecture… I was in Kirsty heaven.
I decided to travel alone. I flew (on my own) to a country that I’ve never been to before, where I don’t speak a word of [...]

About My Transformation

I know this is a bit of a cliché but my interest in mermaids started in my childhood. Most of my tattoos are images/ideas from a happy childhood and my leg project is no exception.
A trip to the coast or to a local swimming pool was always a great treat to me and I [...]
