“Rusalochka” is the Russian name for a haunting, melancholy story by Andersen, which was later adapted by Disney and turned into a children-friendly version we all know as “The Litter Mermaid.” In my mini- movie I wanted to capture the ethereal, somber tones of the original Rusalochka. With “Little Mermaid” Disney gave us a happy ending we were all so satisfied with as children, but the fate of Rusalochka was a lot more tragic.
* In this post I’ve included all of the pictures that went into my movie, in case you wanted to get a closer look.
What I’m wearing:
- Silk dress by “Alberta Ferretti”
- Chiffon robe by “La Perla”
- Necklace by “Heidi Daus” (last seen in June 14’10)
- Crystal nepal ceylan topaz ring by “Swarovski” (last seen in June 22’10)
That dress is absolutely stunning

Thank you for your feedback Celine
What a lovely dress! And it's amazing how dark and disturbing many children's folk tales were before being scrubbed clean and Disneyfied.

So true
. A lot of the folk stories they would tell us as kids in Moldova were meant as pretty direct moral guides – not very fun for child to hear. A witch would often eat the kids if they misbehaved and so on…lovely 
So beautiful Lida! I love that you even go the Little Mermaid setting down, what with hanging out on that rock and all
. Very inspiring pics.
Love Alexandra

Thanks Alexandra. A lot of it was more coincidental then it seems, but I'm so glad you think it worked
These photos are so ethereal Lida. You actually look like you are the mermaid.
