Just a Castle Girl, living in a Fairhope world- an interview with Megrez Mosher.

Once upon a time in the small village of Fairhope, Alabama, there was a girl who grew up in a real life fairy tale castle. A castle built right in the heart of downtown, that's visited by tourists and locals year round. I thought to myself, what would life be like growing up in a castle, as opposed to the small hut constructed of Saltine Crackers that I did grow up in (mama tried). Luckily, I got a chance to talk to Megrez Mosher about her experience growing up as small town royalty, and later becoming a skilled acrobat and instructor at Kudzu Aerial.



You grew up in Fairhope's Mosher Castle, which must have been an intersting childhood. Are you currently uder any Witches spells or curses? If so, what would it take to break them?

I grew up in the Mosher Castle, it was an interesting childhood, I suppose. I had chores and responsibilities like all children: scrubbing the moat, polishing enchanted items feeding the bridge troll. I never excelled at spinning straw into gold, I learned later that I wasn't using the right kind of straw, but now I have an excess of aluminum from my attempts.
The curses never really stuck, I have a wonderful Fairy Godmother who made sure any evil spells would reflect back on the individual who cast it. I once came down with a case of Princess's fever, though, it made me linger around Wishing Wells and compulsively sing my wishes.

You're an accomplished aerialist and dancer, and currently instruct classes here in Fairhope at Kudzu Aerial. What are the benefits of Aerial exercise and what ages can do this? Also, Is the Macarena still a cool dance or do I need to retire this?

Learning to fly was easy for me, I've learned that when people think you're weird, you can do weird things without making a big deal out of it. The harder thing was to convince people that they could do it too. Aerial is a great workout because it helps people realize that they are capable of doing so much more than they realize. I have a surplus of fairy dust from my adventures in Neverland, so if anyone needs a little boost, I'm happy to share!

I feel that Disco deserves more of a reconsideration than the Macarena, but who am I to judge?

I'll leave all of the Rapunzel references alone...

I've heard that many nights your dad would have to chase of hoards of witches from your yard like pesky raccoons. Did you ever try to keep one as a pet?

"......."

Growing up, did you ever warn your dates what they were getting into when you brought them home to meet your parents? I feel it would've been pretty funny not to. Did your dad sit in the background pretending to clean his Battle Axe?

Dates were always a bit intimidated by the dragon who lingers around the castle. My parents didn't need to say anything when Hendrix the dragon is breathing smoke down my date's neck. Hendrix is a really nice dragon, he used to be invisible, but in his retirement, he just likes to hang out and sun himself on my parent's roof. My husband used to train dragons, so when he met the family dragon for the first time, he gave Hendrix a box of Dragon Treats and now they are great friends.

So you're writing a book I hear...

I'd like to write a book to help other young fairy tale princesses about how to navigate such difficult waters. I wish I had more advice on how to politely turn down an apple that I knew to be poisoned, or how to give my woodland helpers rabies shots without them clawing up my wardrobe or smashing the dishes. It'd be nice to know that I could make a difference in someone's life.

Now that your'e out of the castle, any plans to build one of your own?

Police warn burglars may use car monogram to burgle houses with same initials for towels and robes.

Fairhope Police unveiled new tactics used by local thieves lately, where car monograms can lead to unwanted theft in your home. Police Chief Hollinghead states that thieves are now using cars to find houses with the same initials as them, and later breaking in to scoop up your custom towels and robes. Hollinghead urges locals to either remove the decals at this time, or use a wavier decal that is indecipherable by any human.

There has been 18 towel burglaries year to date so far in Baldwin county according to public documents. Some locals are opposed to the idea of removing decals, saying we're letting the terrorists win, and we may not be able to find our cars now. Others claim we can just replace the decals with Alabama or Auburn stickers.

Los Tacos moving out of gas station, but claims we can still get "gas" at new location.

Fairhope favorite Los Tacos is preparing it's move into the new location being built across the street on business 98, and will leave the Cefco gas station where it's currently located. The move should be a great relief to many taco seekers who would like more seating and less gas station vibes. For those that enjoy the benefits of getting gas with your tacos, the owners assure us that you will still get gas with every purchase at the new location.

Not to be outdone by Bear Bryant, Saban continues search for a trademark hat.

By brandishing his signature houndstooth hat, Bear Bryant sparked a new era for southern fashion and single-handedly saved the struggling fedora economy. This was only bad news for Hounds, and their coveted teeth. No other football coach in history is known for their style like Bryant, and this has Nick Saban fuming.

Saban has often brandished different hats, such as his beloved straw panama hat, but none has made the impact expected. After the 2018 Championship Game however, Saban donned a new hand crocheted elephant hat to the surprise of many. The response was overwhelming. Floods of Alabama fans stormed Etsy and Pinterest to copy Saban's headpiece. We think this might be the one hat to rule them all. Keep an eye out to see if Nick has truly made his decision, and in the mean time start bruching up on your crocheting skills.
