Mermaid Arabella

Hi, all! I'm a mermaid-in-training who's been swimming around your forums today, soaking in the knowledge! I recently decided that if I could commit to the pool 3 days/week for a month, I would buy myself a monofin. After another month or 2 commitment with the monofin, I'll buy myself a fabric tail. I'm only on week 2, but so far so good! I've loved mermaids since I was little (one of my first memories is my daddy coming home from 6-month deployment with The Little Mermaid on VHS!) and am also a cosplayer, so I decided this would be a wonderful motivation to get/stay fit and to FINALLY be a MERMAID!!! *excited dance* I already treated myself to a new beach bag that'll be big enough for my monofin (If you're in the states and need a big beach bag, go check out Ross!)
I don't have a "mer name" as yet, but I use PixieGoddess for my cosplay name, so I'll probably use it or something similar when I pick my mer name. I think I'm going to wait until I have a tail before officially choosing one. I'm planning to get a monofin and tail from Sun Tails. I want their Aurora Borealis tail because I think it'll look great with my fairy wings tattoo (see profile picture). I'd like to get some other fabric tails too, to do several cosplays and photoshoots and stuff, and of course, I'd love to some day get a silicone tail!
And yeah, I already have WAAAAAY too many ideas for stuff I want to cosplay with a tail! (It's actually a very normal problem for cosplayers ^/////^;; )
MerCosplay wish list:
Ariel (The Little Mermaid)
Sailor Mermaid Jupiter (Sailor Moon)
Fluttershy (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) - with pink seahorses as her cutie mark!
Vaporeon (Pokemon)
Aquarius (Fairy Tail)
About my non-mermaid, non-cosplay life: I'm married with a fur baby in Denver, CO, and I work in software. I currently work in Customer Support, but I've been going back to school for a programming certificate and have an interview on Monday for a developer position. *fins crossed* I'm happy to gain any merfriends and/or merSenpai (Senpai is Japanese for upper classman) to guide me! Happy swimming! ^_^
