If you're interested in an affordable, fully swimmable, realistic latex/silicone tail visit www.facebook.com/mermaidparties (http://www.facebook.com/mermaidparties) or contact Stephanie at mermaidparties@gmail.com!!
All her tails are custom made to fit you and can be painted any way you like. She also sells fabric, spandex tails. All her tails have customer built monofins in the fluke to allow easy maneuvering in the water.
CHECK IT OUT!!! :D

What do your latex tails weigh? Could you make a "dry" tail, one that isn't meant to be swam in so it doesn't include a monofin?

MermaidParties
03-16-2012, 05:03 PM
The tails weigh around 3lbs. They don't have to be worn in water but if you get a tail without a monofin, the tail flops and there's no control over it. Not very pretty to look at :/ But if that's how you want it, it's totally doable. If you want to talk to the tail maker more in depth, send her an email at mermaidparties@gmail.com
Thanks!

How much for a silicone tail?

MermaidParties
03-16-2012, 07:52 PM
Tails are $200 :D I know I already wrote back to you Gem Stone, but I figured since you asked others would like to know too :) you can see pictures of a few tails I've done at www.facebook.com/mermaidparties with more soon to come!! :D

Can you make a walkable latex tail(as in the fluke is open at the bottom and can be pulled up so I can take awkward baby steps)?

MermaidParties
03-17-2012, 12:08 AM
I'm sure the tails I make could easily be modified to be open at the fluke for walking but I wouldn't custom make one that way because I wouldn't want to cut it wrong and then the tail be ruined. The flukes are heavy from the silicone and would easily be ruined if they dragged on the ground at all and would be awkward to hold up to walk. I just wouldn't recommend a latex/silicone tail for that.

coul;d you do something based on my design here http://mernetwork.com/index/attachment.php?attachmentid=1710&d=1328830811
i based it off the mermaid tails from On Stranger Tides

MermaidParties
03-17-2012, 11:00 AM
Thats gorgeous! I love it! I can def do something like that! Send me an email at mermaidparties@gmail.com

Gem Stone
03-17-2012, 04:58 PM
Can the scales be a little different in some parts or would that be too hard? I have this cool idea that (it does look like another mers tail idea but I promise I didn't steal it) and the scales at more diamond shaped and larger in certain parts. Could you do that?

MermaidParties
03-17-2012, 06:23 PM
If you could email me a picture I can tell you if I can or not :) but I think I could, from what you've described

I'd love to know as well!

Your tails are beautiful--and so affordable too! I'd definitely be interested in speaking with you further about a custom design if possible? :-)

MermaidParties

Do the monofins have straps? Can the fluke be a different shape than the ones I've seen?

MermaidParties
03-18-2012, 11:23 AM
The monofins I build securely fasten to your feet and are glued inside the fluke so you dont have to worry about it slipping off. I will post pictures by the end of the day. And yes, the flukes can be any shape you like :D

MermaidParties

Here is a finished custom monofin that I will be installing in my tail. The size, design and placement of feet can all be custom to your needs.

mermaidondine
03-18-2012, 05:25 PM
I think its awesome that you're willing to do such customization for folks! I will definitely be emailing you here in a bit :-)

the craftmenship on these tails are amazing! i will def hit you guys up so i can have one of my dream tails made! i am having a fabric one made now for my finis foil monofin at a very good price,,but i can wait to have a realistic looking one as well! just have to find another job 1st b'cuz forever 21 is not cutting it lol :) im going to draw it right now! so excited!!!

Kanti
03-18-2012, 06:40 PM
Wow you sure have alot of experience with these xD
I still have no idea how to adjust tails, measure them, or where the monofin should be placed. I guess it's
easy when you're making your own tail, cause you can just see how it fits, but how you'd do it for someone
else has always been a mystery to me xD

Kudos~ Your work is great :')

Lol no worries Gem, I am still waiting on the neoprene, it was supposed to be here today or tomorrow and it didnt come today so I'm guessing tomorrow? I promise not to keep you in the dark :D I also understand your impatience haha I would be the same way!
I got your email Ondine! I cant wait to get your reply :D

mermaidondine
03-21-2012, 03:50 AM
So there's been a problem in switching over my email/domain stuff, which likely won't be fixed for another 36 hours or so. (UGH >.<) I'm anxious to speak with you further, so I was wondering if you would possibly be willing to forward the reply you sent to me earlier to my other email address? It's mermaidondine@yahoo.com :-)

I'm so sorry! I'm so frustrated with my hosts/servers right now >.<

Ondine, I resent that email to the same email address before I read this, I'll send it to the new one you gave me. Let me know if you get it :D
Gem, the neoprene is supposed to be here today. It usually comes on time so fingers crossed that it still will :D

mermaidondine
03-21-2012, 05:28 PM
I got your email and I just emailed you back! Thank you so much for forwarding it! I'm so excited :-)

@Odette: For real! The servers are driving me crazy. I transfered my domain to my website yesterday, and then I found out I had to pay a transfer fee with my new site. Then my email server went nuts and I found out that it was because I switched my domain over to a different host, that I lost my email. So then I had to re-purchase the email address and I'm having to set it up with my new domain, but I have to wait 24 hrs. So I won't know until tomorrow if I did it right, because the stupid tech support doesn't do phone support; they only do live chats. Its such a pain in the butt! Lol!

Here is a finished custom monofin that I will be installing in my tail. The size, design and placement of feet can all be custom to your needs.
What do you make them out of? are they fairly stiff? can you make them bigger? different shapes? I'm SO curious. I would consider buying just the monofin, maybe, because I'm really a DIY kinda girl.....

In the meantime, please keep an eye on the facebook for pictures and updates, til I can figure out the issue with my phone. I wont be able to get on Mernetwork again til I get back to work on Monday if I can't figure it out over the weekend on my phone.

I love love love the green Ariel tail. Just curious, what kind of latex are you using? And is the fluke completely sealed on the inside, or is it just a pocket for the monofin?

MermaidParties
04-07-2012, 12:12 AM
Thank you!! :D I'm so excited to see that tail in action :D I use Alex Plus for the scales. I seal my monofins inside the fluke so it doesnt flop and cause drag while you're trying to swim. I have recently switched materials for my monofins as well. I was using coroplast but it tends to bend in the water so I am now using Lexan Polycarbonate and so far so good :) It's much more sturdy, it wont break and it's great for propulsion in the water. Check out the facebook for more pictures :) www.facebook.com/mermaidparties

You should probably check out the rest of the forum, not saying you shouldn't order from Stevi, but she has hit a rough patch. Also, I don't think she checks MN anymore. If you want to order from her you'll have to go to her official website or her Facebook page.

I tried to go to your facebook page but it says 404 not found. Anyways, if I had a monofin that I liked the shape of/prefered, could you make the tail with that fin in the fluke? And could you make it with no latex? About how much would that be? I've not got the money now but I'm pricing things.

ShyMer
05-16-2013, 01:17 PM
She doesn't do latex anymore. She doesn't really respond here anymore either, but she may not answer anyway since you're not ready to buy yet. The link I posted above should work, and your questions should be answered there

MermaidBrandie
05-18-2013, 10:28 AM
yeah, i found it later when i realized they're name is fishbutts now. They're prices are too much for me since I don't have a pool, live near a lake or ocean and would only be swimming in it ocassionally
