[Azurin Luna]

Almost ashamed to say it, but this is my awkward moment

The moment your bf wonders how sex would be with a mermaid and thought it intresting if I would adapt my tail to do that... I stared blankly at him for a long time...

i think my boyfriend wonders the same thing.
but he knows better. xD

[Merman Dan]

The moment your bf wonders how sex would be with a mermaid and thought it intresting if I would adapt my tail to do that...

Perhaps if you enlighten him as to the mating habits of the argonaut (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argonaut_(animal)) or anglerfish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglerfish), he might think twice about tangling with a sea critter.

"The males use a modified arm, the hectocotylus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hectocotylus), to transfer sperm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm) to the female. For fertilization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilization), the arm is inserted into the female's pallial cavity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallial_cavity), then is detached from the male."

"When he finds a female, he bites into her skin, and releases an enzyme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme) that digests the skin of his mouth and her body, fusing the pair down to the blood-vessel level.The male then slowly atrophies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrophy), first losing his digestive organs, then his brain, heart, and eyes, and ends as nothing more than a pair of gonads (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonads)..."

[Azurin Luna]

Erk... Maybe I didn't want to know that either...

[Merman Dan]

Erk... Maybe I didn't want to know that either...

LOL! You could always tell him about parthenogenesis (http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/general/who-needs-a-male-anyway-virgin-shark-gives-birth-once-more-1.978012), instead.

"
Zebedee may have never met a male of her species, but that hasn't stopped the nine-year-old female zebra shark from reproducing on a recurring basis."

[Azurin Luna]

Sounds better, though I'm sure my bf doesn't like that idea :P
i told him to keep his idea in his dreams, I'm not going to change my tail

When I had a Twitter just for sea related stuff, I got the best notification. It said, "Hectocotylus would like to follow you." Seems there is a user named Hectocotylus. What an image that conjured up.

ha! I'm sea nerd enough to have chuckled from it. And then of course get the song Detachable Penis by King Missile stuck in my head. (http://youtu.be/mIUk08iYZKE)

And because it's 12:24am here, that is the oddest thing I've written today.

Oh- the awkward moment your mom is regaling you with all the interesting new mermaid people out there that were on the news, "It's a whole club!", and you realize she doesn't realize how far your mer love goes.

[mirra]

that awkward moment when I try to explain to guests why there is my little pony and mermaid things all over our house...... I don't know which confuses them more, my obsession with being a mermaid or my son being a brony.......I won't lie..... the glow in the dark Pinkie Pie is mine. Haters gonna hate. Love and tolerate.

[WavyMermaidy]

I've seen a couple of awkward Facebook related things on here, but not this one which has happened to me lately:

*That awkward moment when the "People You May Know" sidebar on Facebook has magically turned from high school people you never wanted to speak to again anyway to all merpeople*

Nope, I take that back...not awkward, but awesome!!

[MermaidIvy]

That awkward moment when two kids you babysit see you swimming in your tail, then try to throw water at you next time you babysit them.

[deepblue]

Haha! That's hilarous, bellaskonieczny.

[Patches]

Almost ashamed to say it, but this is my awkward moment

The moment your bf wonders how sex would be with a mermaid and thought it intresting if I would adapt my tail to do that... I stared blankly at him for a long time...

That awkward moment when you realize having sex with your boyfriend in your mermaid tail is impossible because merfolk don't have genitalia. :/

[Patches]

that awkward moment when someone asks you why you dont have a job yet even though you graduated from hs already, and before you can say anything, your boyfriend answers proudly "she wants to be a mermaid," but everyone looks at you like youve lost your mind.
Story of my life right there. D: And I'm half way through college.....

[Mermaid Celissa]

The awkward moment when you're talking to your guy-friend and he says, "So you really like mermaids, don't you?" and you just go, "Yeeeeaaaahh....." and you start rambling on and on about tails and you're really surprised when he actually knows what latex is xD

[Mermaid Allie]

That awkward moment when your best mer-friends won't swim with their tails in public. -__-

[MermaidBrittany]

That awkward moment when you like to many mermaid related things on Facebook and you say something to a person you know
"Hey did you see that thing on facebook..."
and they try to finish for you by saying
"With all the mermaids??" -_-

[spottedcatfish]

That really awkward moment when your on your regular (non-mermaid) facebook page, and you like something mermaid-related, only to remember your on the other profile, and most of your friends don't know about your (lifelong interests) with mermaids (yet)...

[Mermaid Margarete]

Haha! It seems like a lot of awkward moments are created by facebook!

That awkward moment when you just start talking about mer-related things with your mother and it takes her a moment to realize what you are talking about SO she's designated a hand signal for you to use before talking about mermaid stuff XD

[Mermaid Petronella]

The awkward moment when you tell someone wearing "Don't move, I'll be right back."

[Mermaid Celissa]

The awkward moment when you're at the nail salon, torn between getting fish or a scale design and just go with the fish, and your mom says, "Mermaids?" and you just nod.

[spottedcatfish]

That awkward moment when you start to effectively swim on the bottom of the public pool, with your monofin, only to see it's not as clean-looking from what you see on the surface. Also, you start to "race" other surface swimmers with your monofin, swimming underwater, and even when you give them a yard head start, you end up getting to the other side first.

[Mermaid Harmony]

[QUOTE=Nyx;30797]Awkward moment when at camp introduction you are standing up and everyone's looking at you, and the interesting fact about yourself that you have chosen is "I am a mermaid performer in training"
and then you have to explain it to the 100 teenagers looking at you XD.]
I did that this summer at my camp! Everyone had to say where they wanted to be in 5 years. Everyone had their things, like married, maybe kids, traveling, in college. I said, "Living in Italy as part of a performance art troupe, while doing Fire Poi, and being a performing mermaid on at least a bi-weekly basis, while working as a camp/afterschool program director". Everyone was kind of just surprised and gaped. It was hilarious, and epic.

Good job my friend, good job.
The awkward moment when you are talking about tail designs, arguing about tail makers to the point of yelling, and of course, boob shells to your Mer-Buddy on the phone and then you look over and see your parents are giving you ''the look.'' Yeah, I think we've all received it once.

[Mermaid Celissa]

I don't really get "The Look." Or at least, not that look. I get the "Just hurry up and finish whatever you're doing" look.

[Mermaid Allie]

That awkward moment when your mom says she doesn't like mermaids and its confirmed that you're adopted.

[MerZodiac]

[Elle]

That awkward moment when you realize having sex with your boyfriend in your mermaid tail is impossible because merfolk don't have genitalia. :/

How else would you get whale and dolphin calves?

[MermanJesse]

I was having a blonde mer-moment, ok... DON'T JUDGE ME!

[Gem Stone]

That awkward moment when someone overhears a part of your conversation about tails and he walks up asking,"you want a silicone what?"

[Winged Mermaid]

That awkward moment when you go digging through Google search pages to find out more about the life time of silicone (how long will this $3k+ tail last is a very good question), and you find your self on a forum of people who are all about extremely life like sex dolls. You realize the thread google lead you to is a discussion on how a manufacturer switched over from tin cure silicone to platinum silicone, and people getting pissed that tin cure was used in the first place.. then you just laugh because apparently they spend the same amount of money on their silicone dolls as we do on our tails and we have the same complaints about quality materials. Then you laugh even harder when you make a joke to yourself about us both belonging to forums that talk about getting silicone "tail" :rotfl:

If he's like most guys (I include myself), it'll just make you more interesting.

[Mermaid Allie]

OMFG i would FREAK OUT. i'm like way too self-conscious as a mermaid. Its hard to be a mermaid as a teenager because ppl call you childish and weird.

[telzey.amberdon]

Try being a 55 yr old over weight merman and not be selfconscious.

[MerAnthony]

I'm a 44 year old merman an I don't care what people think. If they don't like it then they don't have to look.


Be Happy Swim Free

[Gem Stone]

[Dacora]

Exactly this. :D

That akaward moment when you try and explain that you are making a mermaid tail to your boyfriend's mother. Luckly my boyfriend's, brother's girlfriend also wants to be a mermaid and she was there so she voiced in too.

[seagirls626]

Yeah, i guess your right haha! I dont really think he would have minded cause we know each other pretty well, but all his friends were with him at the time and I'm not sure what they would have thought. Dont want to bring back the entire "oh yeah, i heard that girl Kalani actually thinks she is a mermaid'' crap again :P

[MerAnthony]

An awkward moment is when you are swimming at a local beach in your tail and you over hear a young boy tell his mother " MOM THAT IS A REAL MERMAID! " an relize that he was pointing to me when I was swimming.

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

That awkward moment when I surface after holding my breath and gliding from one end of the pool to the other, and a middle-aged water aerobics lady on a pool noodle asks me if I'm trying to push my luck by holding my breath, and I reply that no, I'm practicing to be a merman.

[Azurin Luna]

That awkward moment when you play a mermaid in a LARP group and the gnome player says, "Oh, I think my fish sticks have gone bad." Guess who got thrown overboard :P

[Mermaid Wesley]

That awkward moment when you lend a friend your laptop and there are six mermaiding windows open. That awkward moment when she says "Still!?" I mentioned it like a month ago just to test the waters(pun intended) for her reaction. It didn't go well.

That awkward moment when people actually start to keep note of how weird I am. Vamp fangs, mermaid, barks like a chihauhau...

[Mermaid Saphira]

That awkward moment when your two year old cousin introduces you to the waitor by saying "Hi, I'm Eve! This is my cousin Raegan! She's a mermaid!!"

Oh, hahahahahaha! Too cute :D

[telzey.amberdon]

Barking vampire mermaid? Gonna take awhile to get my head around that one,

[spottedcatfish]

So when I was in Hawaii, a few days after I shared with my family, my interest in merfolk, I went to an "end of world party" with my family, and my aunt's friend. The guest's house was up this gigantic hill, from their driveway, with some steep steps going up to the house. So here we are climbing up this hill, and as we are trekking up to the house, my aunt says "Don't worry we have a mermaid!"

Uh, excuse me but we are walking up a steep cliff... now explain to me how a mermaid will help this situation? LOL I took it a as a joke... but it really didn't make much sense.

[Bellasea]

[Taniira]

That awkward moment when you tell your residential builder father (who is currently working on million dollar homes) that you'll offer two free hours of mermaiding to any of his clients as a special offer/housewarming gift and he just facepalms.

(He just doesn't understand that he has IDEAL mermaid clients! Rich, their own pool, kids with everything in the world EXCEPT A MERMAID IN THEIR POOL. Seriously. Ideal.)

[Mermaid Pickles]

That awkward moment when you mention making a fabric tail for a friend and she asks if you can make her one when she gets back in shape. And you had no idea she was into mermaids.

Going through this now. I can see it in my head, but can't get it down on paper.

[spottedcatfish]

The awkward moment of wanting to draw your perfect dream tail...but you suck at drawing.

Yep... Keep drawing. You'll get it someday. There's always Photoshop, or paint if you don't have that, and you can find tail bases on here, to draw your dream tail on!

[Ariel-Starfish]

I have some awkward moments to look forward to:

That really awkward moment when your looking at your paypal account waiting for money to be transferred, so you can order your first monofin, and then you realize that you don't know what you'll say to your parents, when they ask you what you got. Here's to hoping I'll be at home when it arrives...

That awkaward moment when you finally start making your tail, and you parents ask you what you are making.

That awkward moment when you make your first tail, and your brave enough to swim in it at the public pool, alone. For the first time. How do you get over that one?

1) that happends to me all the time! and 3) That will never happen! I have to swim with it at my faliy's pool, or friends. My parent's won't let me swim in a public pool with my tail on...they rather die. lol wich they don't.

[seagirls626]

Hunh, I've always swam in a public pool with my tail. Well, I guess having a best mer friend with you helps too. I think the lifeguard even winked at us... o.O at least he was 15, not 30, right?

- That awkward moment when a girl at the beach asks you if you put sparkly stickers on your tail and you say yes, then she asks you "What kind? Hello Kitty? I love Hello Kitty."

- That awkward moment when you say goodbye to said girl and you have to wait for her to get all the way down the beach before you can take off your tail so it doesn't ruin the magic.

- That awkward moment when you hide your tail under a boogie board because of said magic-ruining situation.

Yay! I'm not the only one!
I have done that soo many times.

That awkward moment when the lifeguard at the pool sees you swimming in a tail and winks at you. o.O

That awkward moment when your at a pool with your tail and can out swim the people in the swimming class next to you.

Seagirls! That's not awkward, that's righteous!

That is awesome! lol So many tail drawings!!

[MerEmma]

If only it was a lot!! That's not even a tenth of the scrap papers I've thrown away after destroying them with tails, lol. I tend to draw them when my computer is frozen (see also:very often) and...I have a lot of them! xD I've gotten better but I still can't get the fluke shapes right. =P

[SeaGlass Siren]

That awkward moment when you get the job and your future coworkers haven't forgotten about that tail. They're all fathers.

[Azurin Luna]

That ackward moment when you are being told that you aren't a real mermaid because you don't smell like fish by a five year old

[MermaidDiaries1]

That awkward moment when you finally shimmy into your tail then to realize the pool is 7 long feet away.

[telzey.amberdon]

Not smelling like a fish is a bad thing?

[Merman Dan]

Not smelling like a fish is a bad thing?

My wife is constantly annoyed by how long I linger in the seafood department of the grocery store, simply smelling the air. Admittedly, I love the smell of fish, seaweed, and the sea. When I am curing live rock for my tanks in my Merman Cave, it tends to smell like low tide. I love that aroma.

Conversely, I have never found a perfume or cologne that I fancied. Go figure.

[MerAnthony]

That ackward moment when you are being told that you aren't a real mermaid because you don't smell like fish by a five year old

LMBO. Now that is funny.

[Ashe]

Finding ocean creature shaped sprinkles in the baking isle and saying: "Oh look mom, there are turtles, sharks, fish, and... OH MY GOD MERMAIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!" :O_o: Loud enough that the whole isle can hear you. Then to add to the embarrassment, having you mother take a look and saying: "No, honey. They are just dolphins"
:doh:

[SeaGlass Siren]

That awkward moment when you're at a costume mandatory Disney/honorary Disney party...you are dressed as syrena but to keep it modest and not prance around with breasts, showing you wear a regular nude bra instead. For your whole life only your boyfriend ever sees you in a bra only. At this party you have guys there. Prince Eric, photographer, treasure island guy, Bert, and another guy lookin at your goods. Your boyfriend/mertender is also there.

The above scenario just happened to me.

[Carolina Mermaid]

The awkward moment when you try on your brand new tail and have to drag yourself to open the door for your uptight mother.

[Mertara]

That awkward moment when your trying to pose for a picture, and the little girl pulls your top down while trying to stand up.

well fish don't actually have babies, or have sex for that matter ;) Female lays eggs, male fertilizes eggs, its that easy!

[Delilah]

that awkward moment when you go to a hardware supply store and load up supplies and the cashier asks you what the project is
me: a mermaid tail
cashier:oh........

[Taniira]

that awkward moment when you go to a hardware supply store and load up supplies and the cashier asks you what the project is
me: a mermaid tail
cashier:oh........

As a costumer in general, this happens to me ALL THE TIME. Example that really happened:

Employee: "Hi, can I help you find something?"
Me (holding a leather respirator mask): "I need some sort of tube that is metal, looks metal, or that I can paint that I can use to attach this to a tank. And I need the attachments for it."
Employee: "Uh..." *blank stare*
Me: "Nevermind. I'll keep wandering."

And then when I finally found the tubes and I needed fittings and I was in the plumbing section, I had one fitting but I needed a bolt or something to attach it to the mask, but the employee kept arguing with me about how the things I was looking at weren't supposed to go with the part I was trying to fit. I ran out of ways to tell them I didn't care if it was SUPPOSED to fit, as long as it DID fit.

It's easier just to spend an hour wandering aisles sometimes.

[MerAnthony]

An awkward moment when you are swimming in your tail at a lake then you hear a small boy yell at the top of his lungs an say "LOOK MOMMY A MERMAID" but when they come over an look your a guy. LOL

[Mermaid Pickles]

The awkward moment when you take your tail to the beach and someone yells "MERMAID" and you look and it's an old lady yelling....><

[spottedcatfish]

That awkward moment when you get the job and your future coworkers haven't forgotten about that tail. They're all fathers.

Congrats on getting the job. I hope your co-worker doesn't give you a hard time about the tail. If they do, just be confident. At least you have a hobby you enjoy.

[AnnaAbyss]

The awkward moment when your family comments on the mermaid videos you're watching (or makes embarrassing comments in general).

[Mermaid Saphira]

The awkward moment when you are on mernetwork and your crush hovers over your shoulder asking what it is.

^^ To catch you mers up on that..he is my boyfriend now and thinks me being a mermaid is amazing. :D ^^

[Elle]

Not so much an awkward moment, but after going outside to hang the washing out find you kid sitting on the couch with your Merfin and one of your bras on and them having him look at you with the biggest smile on his face and say "look mummy!! I'm a mermaid like you!!" :lol:

*He's 5*

[Marilla]

That awkward moment when you bring your mermaid artwork to Easter brunch to show your sister and your grandmother finds that you drew a few bare chested, and shares this with everyone present in the most embarrassing way possible. "Oh my, {Erryngwir} has been drawing naked ladies! Is this what they teach at art school?" Lol.

[Mermaid Shayna]

well fish don't actually have babies, or have sex for that matter ;) Female lays eggs, male fertilizes eggs, its that easy!
Some male fish actually have a specialized fin they insert into the female to fertilize the eggs. It's only certain species though. I find fish mating a very interesting topic, personally.
So, I guess That awkward moment when I realize I just told another mer that fish have sex..?

[Scottish Mer]

That awkward moment when you are ready to dive but forgot how to swim. (Happen to me often with having Aquaphobia. :$ )

[Mermaid Shayna]

Oh geez, that sounds really scary Scottish :(

[Scottish Mer]

It's not that bad, it's getting into the water that's the problem after that I'm fine. :D

[Mermaid Shayna]

I'm the same when the water's cold lol xD

[mermaid_nixie]

haha that awkward moment when a fish swims into your face and it scares you so bad you start flopping around in the water like fish on land xD

[mermaid_nixie]

I can SOOO relate haha

[Azurin Luna]

That ackward moment you find out you got an 80+ year old fan in the swimming pool. She always wanted to see a mermaid, but never could. Guess yesterday was her lucky day, even if she knew it was fake, she was watching me doing silly things in the water with my tail

[SeaGlass Siren]

But that's not awkward that's awesome..

[Azurin Luna]

It was ackward the moment she told me, especially since elderly are kinda raised in one direction, you better behave and work hard. So it was ackward at first, but then cool :)

[Elle]

That awkward moment when you twist you ankle and can't swim for two weeks, post it up on facebook and your nana comments on your status LOL because she thinks it means "Lots Of Love"

[Mermaidmechanic]

That awkward moment when you twist you ankle and can't swim for two weeks, post it up on facebook and your nana comments on your status LOL because she thinks it means "Lots Of Love"


Gah! That one is familiar! That awkward moment when your aunt sends out a mass text message to the family saying "After her long struggle with cancer, my grandma has lost the battle and slipped away. Shes in a better place now. LoL." When everyone responded with WTF?!?!? LOL?!??? She thought it meant Lots of Love and we had to explain to her what it meant. Afterwards she was like OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! She had to send another text out explaining she thought LoL was Lots of Love. XD

Some fish do birth their young, like guppies and mollies. Its not that uncommon, and most pet stores will have several species of live bearers. Perhaps mermaids are one too!

[Mermaid Kalliope]

That awkward moment when you realize how big your fluke is actually going to be when it's done.

^ That's totally happening to me right now. XD

[Mermaid Kenzie]

OMFG i would FREAK OUT. i'm like way too self-conscious as a mermaid. Its hard to be a mermaid as a teenager because ppl call you childish and weird.

Psh, don't be. I'll be 16 in July, and as soon as my tail is finished there won't be anyone who hasn't seen me in my tail XD You gotta go for a swim in your tail in front of people you know and be all like>>>
11725

[Mermaid Kalliope]

That awkward moment when you have to explain to people(Mostly parents) why you spent more money on a mermaid tail than your used car.... >> (Though, in all fairness, the car ended up costing me more than my tail due to repairs, but STILL)

That awkward moment when you've been in the pool for 4+ hours and find out you've been locked out of the hotel room and have to wander around the convention looking for your friends with your best friend trailing behind you carrying your dripping tail.

The continued awkward moment when you can't walk well (all wobbly and what not) and people go "Awww, that's the mermaid from earlier! She can't walk yet!" >< Derp. Or "Are you okay?!" "Yeah, just got my legs."

That awkward moment when you decide to take a nap in your tail during a convention and photographers are like "HELL YEAH! PHOTO OP!" ><

That awkward moment when a 4-6 year old girl (she was young) demands to brush your hair with a fork then goes on a rant about how you're "not really Ariel because Ariel's hair is longer and thicker." And a few other reasons. ><

That awkward moment when you have to explain to your roommate (Or any one, really) that you need silicone sex toy cleaner and water based lube for your tail.... Yeah....

[Mermaid Kalliope]

OH AND THIS:

That awkward moment when you get to swim for the first time ever in your home made fabric tail and a photographer holds up a piece of fabric and asks quite loudly, "Is this your fin?" >< Derp... (I had bi-fins and made a "pocket" for each like Ariel's fluke)

[MerAnthony]

This may not be kinda awkward . But when swimming in your tail for a few hours at a local outside pool an children are all around you. You have to get out when it starts to thunder an lightning. So I was walking back to my truck an one of the children was almost beside me ( she didn't see my change out of my tail) She kept looking at my leggs an my face. Then I smiled at her an then she said " OH !! YOU REALLY DO HAVE LEGGS !!." Her mother an I looked at each other an I , an she an I just busted out laughing so hard our bellies hurt.

[Christopher Chandler]

That awkward moment when you take your kilt off and dawn a beautiful tail and then jump in the pool.

[spottedcatfish]

I've had an awkward moment holding a tail while talking to cops, and an HOA associate, when my car was about to be towed. We were meeting at an apartment complex with a pool, for a mer-meet. I was staying at my friend's house that night, and she was at work that night, so she wanted me to take her tail back to her place... I bet the cop was thinking, "what the hell is this girl holding? It looks kind of fishy to me." Lol :-p

[Mermaid Kenzie]

That awkward moment when your mother looks over your shoulder while you're reading about sex toy cleaner [to clean tails], and she describes what she thinks the whole situation of going to an adult store and requesting sex toy cleaner in bulk would be like:doh:

I wish the forum had 'thanks' or 'like' buttons- that made me chuckle, and I needed that. :D

[Mermaid Varshana]

That awkward moment when you've loved every update on your new tail, and then your new update comes after your tailmaker spent hours doing something...and you hate it. And then the body needs to be repainted.

[MerMarla]

haha that awkward moment when a fish swims into your face and it scares you so bad you start flopping around in the water like fish on land xD

Hahaha... I so know what you mean! At Weeki Wachee ... during shows, we fed the fish! We took our masks off and smiled pretty for the audience while the voracious fishies (Brem) would have their lunch. The fish knew from the music in the show, when fish feeding time came, and they came out of every nook and crannie for the feast! Before the show, we'd roll white bread into wax paper tubes (about 2-3 inches long), to hold and use our thumb to flick the soaked bread into pieces. Even turtles came for the taking! And you know how blurry looking at anything underwater is! Some of the fishies didn't know when the feast was over and they would nip you! That wasn't fun. But it was common the fish would swim into your face, and it does scare you momentarily... we didn't have the luxery of leaving... so we endured! Thanks for bringing it up... fond memories!

[deepblue]

That is adorable. <3 I love the idea of sleey fish hanging out in nooks and crannies and then the sudden awakening of "Lunchtime!"

Awkward mermaid moment: walking by the wetsuit repair place and seeing a tail through the window, on the counter waiting for something, and when you lift your child so she can see and people look at you funny because they simply DO NOT get it.

[Azurin Luna]

That moment you can't get out of your tail because there is a knot in the string that keeps your tail close around your middle. Luckily one of the pool staff was able to get the knot out. My bro, who was with me, had to laugh about it "a stranded mermaid"

[Mermaid~Summer]

I so laughed really hard out loud.. my boyfriend shutters when i talk mermaids or vampires which is my other love lol >.<

I guess I'm lucky then, my Husband is totally on board with my love of all things mythical and supernatural. We always say that he's a werewolf and I'm a vampire and our children will be unstoppable hybrids lol

[AniaR]

tried out google's version of Suri. I asked it to "set reminder to pack mermaid things on Friday morning" it saved, "set reminder Tupac mermaid sightings, friday morning!" LOL

[Mermaid~Summer]

That awkward moment when you're trying on swimsuit tops and you realize that your boobs are still spilling out of an XL, even though you wear a M in everything else.

I feel your pain Lanai.

YES!! I am a very busty Mer and trying to find bathing suit tops that fit me is torture! I would probably have more fun trying to poke my eye out with a spork! My husband does not want me to wear a shell bra when I start mermaiding for events because of that fact lol so i'll probably go with a silicone merbellas seaweed top or something similar :)

[Mermaid~Summer]

That awkward moment when you're insanely jealous of mermen because they can be topless in public.

YES!!!

[Jessica]

That awkward moment when you take your kilt off and dawn a beautiful tail and then jump in the pool.

A man in a kilt and then a tail......I think we need pictures! :)

[MaskedNightingale]

Well well, thanks for the compliment ladies. I don't get these guys that flat out refuse to get with their ladies in the water. I always hear things like she "got" me to do it or whatever....bollocks. I always wanted to, just had to get over that fear and insecurity, you know? It really was the last piece of the puzzle, me in a tail, that made up our 20-year relationship, of which mermaids have always been a part. The sad thing is, these guys will never know how awesome it feels to swim that way, so the joke is on them. We made special pains to ensure mine would be "badass", and I think we succeeded. My new one we just finished is even more dangerous looking. It CAN be done.

If I ever get my husband to be one of the merfolk with me, I'm going to convince him by showing him your tails :)

[MaskedNightingale]

That awkward moment when I find out that this whole time I've been talking about being a mermaid and the mernetwork, my husband thought I was joining a "cult" who actually believed they were real mermaids.

[Kumori Kitsune]

[Kumori Kitsune]

[Mermaid Tasia]

That awkward moment when you just got done with a swim and are still in your tail, go to take the boat back to the dock and the engine stalls and, as a mermaid, you are trying to restart it and people are watching.

[angelstarfish]

LOL

That awkward moment when you're swimming in the school pool and come up for air and see a bunch of evil little munchkins (pardon me, children) watching you with awe so you have to pull out your bubbly mermaid persona just for them.

Happened to me when I was a freshman in college!!!

[Thalassa]

That awkward moment when kids won't stop splashing you from all directions, you're facing the wrong way to splash them with your tail, and you seriously wonder if it's possible to drown by splashing. (Also known as the time you wish you still had a mer-tender ;-) )

[Mermaid Veruliya]

That awkward moment when someone won't stop asking to try on your tail -_-
I'm really protective over my stuff. Or greedy idk O.O

[Mermaid~Summer]

That awkward moment and you and some friends get a bucket of KFC chicken and decide to go the beach for the day. Then shortly after arriving get attacked by an entire flock of seagulls that chase you down the beach while their bird buddies make off with all of ur chicken. I have hated birds ever since.

[Alveric]

Protective! Which is good. A tail is such a personal thing... I wouldn't let anyone try it on, either.

that awkward moment when you let some friends try on your old tails but they can't swim so you half drown yourself in your own tail to keep their heads above water while they try to take off the tails. the awkward moment when your mom asks why you're crying, so log on to Merbellas facebook and show her the tails, to which she replies ," don't worry, you might get one someday" and then you show her the price and she pats you on the back and says, "Well, keep dreaming"

[Nausicaa]

That awkward moment when you're trying to lay out a pattern for you new tail skin (I figure that it's time to retire old red, next I'm goin' with sparkly purple!) and your fuzzie little friend decides that it's a perfect time to start his own sewing career, and won't get out of your grill.... and even when you shoo him away the second you turn your back...there he is again XD

And then when you poke him in the tummy to take a "cute" picture he munches your finger and slashes you to pieces... for a little guy that doesn't like water, I think he likes my tails more than I do hahaha.

[Merman Arion]

That awkward moment when you come out of the water with your tail and you see teenagers watching you with a weird look. One of them said to me : "Dude, you're scary. You have a mermaid tail, what is it for?" Then, i said : "because i like it".
I didn't care to pursue that conversation, i dove into the water with a splash.

[Ariel-Starfish]

That awkward moment when ... u are wearing your handmade mermaid necklace and someone in art class notices and asks how its made etc. and compliments me on it.. then it happend... she asks; "So, you are a fish?" and you replay with a serious poker face : Yes, I am LOL

[Mermaidmechanic]

That awkward moment when you're practicing with your tail in the apartment complex pool and it's pretty crowded... then a bunch of little boys with toy dragon balls decide to pretend like you're Shenron and you decide to go along with it much to the amusement of the hot navy guys in the pool. And to top it off? They decide to play along too as Vegeta and his minions.

[Anahita]

That awkward moment when you're asking your partner what colors they like on you, but he's so busy thinking about having you make his own tail he answers "red", and when asking to have him clarify (because red is not a color I would have pinned him to say for me), he says "Oh, you're still talking about your tail? No, you don't get to have a red tail, because I want a red tail."

Yep. :rolleyes:

[Meemerdd]

That awkward moment when you realize mermaids aren't aloud in resteraunts. O.o
No shirt. No shoes. No service.

That awkward moment when you realize your little brother might take your mermaid tail like he takes your pants, and with his long thick brown locks and pretty round face might make him a cuter mermaid then you.
Don't want to insult him, but, thank goodness for belly flubber on that point.

Wouldn't it be funny if the dolphin was saying "Hey, I'm kinda hungry. Seen anything to eat around here?"

:jawdrop: OMG I don't even know what I would do in a situation like that.

[SeaGlass Siren]

[PearlieMae]

You embrace that moment, revel in the attention, and never let them see you doubt your choice, even for a split second!

[SeaGlass Siren]

that awkward moment when you admit going topless for your boyfriend. in front of the entire interwebs. LOL.. ;_;

That awkward moment where you spend an hour in the beach gift shop digging through bins of shells looking for matching lionspaws shells and holding them over your boobs to imagine how they'll look on a bra.

Good news is I found the perfect set and everything in the shop was 60% for the end of summer sale. Heck yeah!

That awkward moment when someone tries to crack a joke at you and asks you what the '3 seashells' mean from the movie Demolition Man. Seriously just had someone do this to me at a recent event I was at. -_-

That awkward moment when your merchild says, "Koi!" to your boyfriend because he realizes he made a mistake at something, and both of us trying to not laugh because WHAT? She's using it as a sub for "Doi" which is basically like saying, "Duh" to someone, which I've had to discourage because she picked that up somewhere and I find it rude. I explained why we don't say "doi" to people, how it can hurt and why it's insulting, so she decided, since she likes Koi fish, she'll say Koi.

Headdesk.

... any minute I expect her to use 'jellyfish' for jealous.

[SeaGlass Siren]

^ omg thats amazing xDD

[Mermaid Jaffa]

That awkward moment when you are halfway through in making a netted bag, you think to yourself, "I won't add beads cos that will weigh me down but I'll put plastic sea creatures, that will make me look cool!"
That awkward moment when you are on the next row of said bag, you realize your slight interest in mermaid has turned into another obsession!
That awkward moment when you think of all your other hobbies and then try to decide which ones (I have several weaving, beading and flower looms) to sell off on ebay to buy a monofin!

[Mary Marine]

That awkward moment when you're in the craft store shopping for fake seaweed and you start rubbing the plastic plants on your skin to see which will be the least itchy on a shell bra...

[Azurin Luna]

[MermanZen]

[Vixy]

The awkwardly awesome moment when you tell your friends and they start planning on photo ops for you.

The awkward moment when you tell a friend who likes certain things (NSFW things), and he starts imagining certain situations involving nets.

[Ilyena]

The Awkward moment when you bring your tail out at a family gathering for the first time and no-one bats an eye because you are known to do strange things and they're used to it XP. And your really conservative grandma starts thinking of ideas that she could help with to add to the tail, after telling you she loves mermaids.

That awkward moment when you're sitting in the bathtub and your mom walks in and asks what the heck you are doing.
That awkward moment when after a few minutes of waiting for you to come to dinner your parents yell at you and you yell back," I can't get out of my friggin tail!"
That awkward moment when you brush someone briefly with your fin at the pool and then they start screaming hysterically.
That awkward moment when you go swimming at your friend's pool and her cousin joins you and he freaks out and is like, "Whoa, you have a tail!" and you say "yea, so?" and he asks "Did you grow it or something?"

[Mermaid Dottie]

That awkward moment when you realize the reason your tail won't go on correctly is because it's backwards.

[SeaGlass Siren]

that awkward moment when your mom is trying to put chinese ointment on your back but offer to do it yourself because you dont want her to see your dolphin/ship tattoo.
