Mermaids! and...this tea party gives me the willies. (1948 and 1960s)

From 1948.







Weeki Wachee postcard, 1960s. They say "mermaids" on the moon, but the pic shows only one. And it's not on the moon. False advertising!




Another Weeki Wachee postcard, 1960s. That hatter is the stuff of nightmares.


Hey, there's video of this!

i actually watched Miranda on Netflix not that long ago!

So did I. It was...odd, but cute.

The sequel to Miranda, "Mad About Men" was on TCM a few months ago. It's actually a mermaid movie and a "life-swap" movie, which was kind of cool.

Weeki Wachee! What a fun show that was.

I've developed an obsession with 60s and 70s era Weeki Wachee shows!

I went during the 70s as a child! I still remember it. What glamour and they waved at me! (Meeting Santa Claus was nothing compared to it.)

Oh man, the banana.

IKR? The idea of eating and drinking under water is not appealing at all! Not unless you enjoy the idea of ingesting lots of bacteria.

They were doing Pocahontas the last time I was at Weeki-wachee

I just fell into the Weeki Wachee rabbit hole, and I am unaccountably disturbed.

Their Wizard of Oz is appropriately dreamlike and enigmatic. View at YouTube, and it's in the sidebar.

I wonder what Mr.Peabody is going to do with this mermaid. HOW?!

That is a freaky-looking Mad Hatter costume. o_O
