IN THE forests of Louisiana lives a reallife fairy equipped with her very own magical workshop. Ashley Gailliot, 23, started dressing as her alterego: a half mermaid, halffairy called ‘Thistle’ as a hobby after a childhood obsession with all things fantasyrelated. However, this became a more important form of escapism for Ashley during difficult times in her life. She told Truly: “After my husband joined the military, we were separated for about two years. Those were two of the darkest years of my life and it was very hard to feel anything.” In the video, Ashely makes her friend Geneva a special pair of wings for her fairy ‘Aurora’, anxiously presenting them to her on a magical day out.
