	HAMPTON ROADS, Virginia, Fun
		Decorated charmingly by different artists, the colorful mermaids are stroking the air in public spaces in Norfolk, mainly, but also in Virginia Beach and coming soon to Portsmouth and Yorktown and perhaps other localities.
		Two mermaids are suspended from the ceiling at Waterside Festival Marketplace in downtown Norfolk, each bearing a belly tattoo of the USS Wisconsin, the longest and last American battleship, which is bound for Nauticus, the National Maritime Center.
		Whoever stole the mermaids from the ODU studio and the little mermaids from the Bank of America building and whoever vandalized the mermaid close to the airport are risking more than slaps on the wrist.

		Geisha mermaids, that is...And they can be seen through August 7 at Avenue 50 Studio in Highland Park.
		The geisha mermaids and accompanying narrative are painted in fl over an apocalyptic color-field under-paint (greens, yellows, and reds).
		Conventionally, we imagine mermaids as illusionary sirens, luring sailors with the promise of love but leaving them to their demise in the depths of the sea.

	Coney Island Mermaid Parade
		The Mermaid Parade is a completely original creation that is that nation's largest art parade and one of New York City's greatest summer events.
		The Mermaid Parade celebrates the sand, the sea, the salt air and the beginning of summer, as well as the history and mythology of Coney Island, Coney Island pride, and artistic self-expression.
		The Parade is followed by the Mermaid Parade Ball, a post-parade gathering where costumed parade participants can get together with each other and parade spectators to listen to live music, purchase raffle tickets, and watch burlesque and sideshow acts performed by some of New York City's hottest burlesque stars.

		MERMAIDS is the story of the turbulent relationship between a flamboyant, outrageous mom (Cher) and her two daughters (Winona Ryder and Christina Ricci) who just want a normal, stable life.
		Socially rebellious and provocative, the mother is reluctant to settle down, even at the request of her two daughters (one of whom, despite being Jewish, longs to enter a convent).
		Mermaids is a film that you can enjoy because Charlotte is someone we can relate to and the film is enjoyable.

	Michael A. Cummings - Artist & Quilter - Reviews
		Avenue in the Sugar Hill neighborhood is at once home, studio and gallery.
		Cummings is one of a half-dozen contemporary African-American quiltmakers whose work explores new avenues of quilt development, while connecting with an African heritage in the selection of symbols, and in the strong, high contrast of colors and patterns used.
		In the second, the boat and the mermaid are smaller and, despite the moth-like angels above, evil spirits abound, so that when the boat finally capsizes into the jaws of a shark, fish and sea serpents foregather for the feast.

		The Mermaid Parade celebrates the start of the summer, but mostly it's about having fun -- and the freedom to wear something silly and skimpy and flail around in front of thousands of people who will clap and cheer.
		Mermaids came in all shapes and sizes, though many of them were sizable.
		And in many cases, it seemed the larger the mermaid, the fewer her scales.

		It starts on Mermaid Avenue, in front of the park, and eventually winds down the boardwalk in front of the judges and the Mermaid Queen (who is in this case Queen Latifah).
		Slowly, slowly, they will creep along Mermaid Avenue, though the gray and silver foxes driving them, for whom their cars are the tonic of vitality itself, will occasionally rev them, leaving rubbery streaks on the avenue and cheers drifting into their old hairy ears.
		Finally, there are the mermaids (and mermen): wearing aquatically themed costumes, meaning sometimes ornate jellyfish-kiss getups, sometimes not much more than starfish pasties, sometimes a combination of those.

		On Monday, 6 November, at 3.00 pm, the Avenues Fountain Rescue team, led by Harry Atkinson, had a meeting with Paul Ashton at the Hull City Council Stepney Lane depot to view the broken pieces of the Park Avenue fountain.
		As can be seen from the photos, the main bowl is largely intact, but most of the other features — the mermaids, the herons, various leaves, are in so many pieces (perhaps 100) that it would be difficult to put them back together again.
		The Avenues Association is very grateful for the generous help provided by Mr Ashton in explaining the current state of play concerning the prospects for replacing the fountain(s).

		The mermaids march down the boardwalk on foot and if you're really good at maneuvering, you can catch that part of the parade and then catch the totally creative floats and mermaid-draped classic cars driving by on Surf Avenue.
		The color shots from the Mermaid Parade were taken with Fujicolor Reala 100 and Fujicolor NPH 400 and the fl and white with Agfapan APX 100.

		Everyone was drinking bottled water, even the police officers who lined the parade route in an attempt to keep the spectators from spilling into the street.
		Small children were pushed in strollers, the little girls dressed as mermaids, the little boys dressed as King Neptune.
		There were lots of costumed mermaids of all ages, many with nothing but body paint and pasties on their breasts.

		Let's start at Madero Avenue: This avenue was the promenade for Mexican society during the colonial period and continued to be so throughout the 19th and well into the 20th century.
		Though in the 16th century the avenue bore the name San Francisco, after the monastery that graced it, in the 1800´s it became Plateros (silversmiths) due to the fact that many of the city's silversmiths set up shop there.
		Note the double-tailed mermaids adorning the pilasters at the entrance and the atlas figures or staff-bearers over the door.

		Last spring, at Park Slope's Fifth Avenue Fair, I walked along the oak- and pear-lined avenue taking in the elements of a traditional street festival: a chili-draped booth selling Italian sausage; children from a local church singing "Oh What a Beautiful Morning"; pony rides and cotton candy and antique automobiles.

		Its staging centers around a rectangular tank of blue water too short to cover a standing person and too narrow for a body to stretch out in.
		This bit of truncated fakery—which represents the underwater stage for the mermaids' ballet and the gator-wrastling ring—could stand for the premise of the Project: bad art badly done in deadly earnest.
		The show's spiels are dumb and dumber, like this star turn by a “mermaid”: “We get real hungry after we swim...and we get a 10 percent discount at the cafeteria.” This excursion into loopy Americana ought to be riotously funny.
