This tail is one of the original Melissa tails, it is latex and showing only signs of the latex itself aging on the fluke. You will need to know how to patch latex but the job is very, very minor and with a belt not even noticeable if left alone. The sides have flaps that can be sealed or latex / glued back together from adjustments the previous owner made. It has foot pockets to fit womens size 6-9.
Approx measurements
The hips are 34, waist 28, around butt is 36. I am 5'3 and it fits right on the waist.

I am ordering a new tail with the proceeds.
$700 OBO.

This pic was before I repaired and repainted the fluke.

Melissa in the tail


This is a great tail for photo shoots. I can touch up the paint again. It's beautiful. However it is latex and eventually may not be repairable. It's still an amazing way to own a MVD w/o paying 4k!

oh no you just got it :(

I know Thom Shouse knows how to patch this type of stuff for anyone who might need it!

It's a minor patch but I just want a new one. I keep buying everyone's old tails and they never fit the way I want. I retouched the paint and repaired most of the fluke to where the latex was acting up. I love this tail but he's gonna do me the same one in silicone.

You guys I decided to keep this until I have the total amount to pay for the new tail. I was stressing and stressing and I'm really shocked that I can be this attached to something so material. Sorry. Will let you know when I'm ready.

If only I was shorter! I'm 5'8 and the measurements were perfect other than height! Such a beautiful tail

The measurements are really close to mine, but I'm allergic to latex. :/ I wish I could buy it...I might actually be able to afford a $700 before I'm dead. ha ha. Good luck getting your new tail though!

This tail was badly damaged during last practice -- punched all the way through the fluke. I hate to declare this tail dead but RIP :( you'll see her ressurection in silicone in a few months I will be purchasing her reincarnated self from scratch from mike. Much love [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji33]

She went to someone that thinks he can do something with her and I am excited about the new one. Silver linings!
