Okay, so I’ve given up on “The Little Mermaid Dissolving Into Sea Foam” costume.

Instead, I’m going for “The Little Mermaid Post-BP-Oil-Spill.”

Now I need to figure out how to look oily and sticky without actually being… oily and sticky.

Oh! Also, I’ll be wearing it on a boat. Which is helpful thematically, but not helpful with regard to temperature maintenance.

Materials I have so far:

One red wig.


Help?
