A fan sent me a nice bday message, and thanked me for letting them photoshop my photos. I had no idea what they were talking about, since I don't let people photoshop my photos. So I checked out their page. I BELIEVE THIS IS INNOCENT and just meant as fun for the user, it doesn't bother me, but I got quite a chuckle out of it, especially the ones of my and my boyfriend. I'm not the only one on the list... so... for your consideration ;)

It's funny but at the same time kind of creepy. I see she's just doing this for a laugh, but I think she takes it a bit too far, with all of the mermaid pictures, and especially not asking for permission from the people who are in these photos, or the places she took them from. These aren't stock photos, and some of these images may be copyrighted, or require permission to use them, and change the images.

I agree 100% I'm not sure she did it to be funny, I think she just really emulates us mermaids. But yeah the images of mine that she used only 1 was stock, the rest were all copywritten. And I see she's used a lot of Chris Crumbley's and Kariels. (I sent everyone messages)

How interesting.
I looked through her photos. There is one of a MerQueen in there..... I wonder she knows that it's really a guy?

[green52]

I wish I could see. Could someone explain what the pictures are?

btw, Elle, I really love your picture. Whats the story behind that?

[Azurin Luna]

I can't see them, the page is unavailable for me.

[Elle]

@Azurin Luna, have you logged into FB? I couldn't see them until I had done that.

@green52 That is me with April (she is an Australian Sea Lion), it was at an Aquarium up the coast from me. My step son and I got a photo each with her

[Azurin Luna]

Yes, I'm loged in on facebook, but it still shows "this content is currently unavailable"

hmmm, I can't see it now either. I think Raina will have to post a few of her faves for you all to see.

Basically this fan has taken photos of Raina and other mers and (really badly) photoshop her and her friends face's on top on the mermaid bodies. And I think it's the same face, every single time.

I saw it when it was first up, she still has them on her personal profile (not that I'm a creepy stalker, people just started tagging people in her photos), I think the page might have been flagged for copyright infringement.

[AniaR]

aww I think she took her whole page down! Too bad. Honestly, it didn't bother me except that I can't let people use the photos that are copyrighted. But yeah, she had photoshopped herself on my body and someone else on my partner's body. She just really wanted to be a mermaid I think. I was just confused because I say everywhere don't use my photos >.> because I haven't said something doesn't mean I give permission. Usually means I didn't know.

Its a lil strange, but she has been apologizing lately. She did mean anything bad by it, still she should have asked permission or not posted them to FB.
