In order to help you help me with the “Hey Tumblr, any idea as to how to make a ‘Little Mermaid Turning Into Sea Foam’ Halloween costume?” question I posted below, here are some pictures that will TOTALLY help us figure this out.

Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne

So… yeah. Just like Daphne. Except, you know, turning into foam instead of a tree. Bernini whipped this baby up in the 1620s! Surely we’ve come a long way since then!

I don’t want to look like just another Lady Gaga. But maybe there’s something to work with here?

Or here?


If this proves to be too difficult (it won’t it won’t!), then I’ll have to go with my original plan: The Paper Bag Princess. You remember.

In which case, anyone know how to make this?
