Introducing...MerNation!

[Mernation]

Hi everyone! We are so happy to finally be able to post on here and introduce ourselves "officially" to you all! What (or who) is MerNation, you may ask? Well, let's start at the beginning. MerNation is a brand new company started by your fellow mermaids, Erin and Lauren. They are currently the staff mermaids performing at The Florida Aquarium in Tampa, Fl. After realizing how lively and vibrant the "mer" community was, they decided to officially jump in! MerNation is based out of Tampa, Florida and aims to provide professional mermaids for hire, as well as accessories and tails. But more importantly, we are beyond excited to just join in the commnity! It's so nice to meet you all, and thank you for inspiring us every day to live our dreams (as cheesy as that sounds...haha). It really is because of people like you that we decided to start this business, and hope you all will join us on Facebook to share your own mermaid pictures, thoughts and really...anything!

[Mermaid Dottie]

So, Can This be like the Merbellas Thread, where people post updates about when they're getting their tails, what their getting, links to Facebook, and pictures of new stuff?

[WavyMermaidy]

I'd love to see it become that...I am really excited to see new MerNation tails and hear people's experiences :)

[Mermaid Dottie]

Well, hubby said I get to order one in the fall, and that's what plan on doing. ^_^

[WavyMermaidy]

Ok well, here we go using this thread as a place for photos/videos/experiences/etc. I have a video, just a string of clips from a recent day in a local spring with my fabulous MerNation tail. I can't get the video to imbed here (it's on Facebook), but here is a link to it. Hopefully that works:

OMG! It's so pretty, Wavy!<333 What's your breathhold? You were under there for (seemingly) much longer than me and I've got about 46 second static. It's also SO pretty and deep, ahhh<3

[Blondie]

Wavy, I am literally OBSESSED with how amazing your tail is. Really, it's one of the best tails I have ever seen. And it is perfectly made for you.

[MerMarla]

Hi Wavy! Your link worked perfectly! You and hubby did an awesome job! Your tail is beautiful! What camera was he using? I love Alexander Springs, it's beautiful and clear, just like Weeki is! Congrats on your first vid!

Thanks, guys! Glad the link worked ok.


OMG! It's so pretty, Wavy!<333 What's your breathhold? You were under there for (seemingly) much longer than me and I've got about 46 second static. It's also SO pretty and deep, ahhh<3

Last that I timed it static in the bathtub, I got to a minute and 15 seconds. While freediving at Alexander I usually get to the bottom (somewhere between 20 and 30 feet I think?) and can hang around down there for a bit, but haven't timed it. In the video I'm kindof just going down and then right back up. That's one of my goals to work more on breathhold techniques. But yeah, such a great place for freediving!

Yay, thank you! I'm so glad you like it...hopefully we'll get to have another meetup some time and you can see it in real life :)

Thank you! Yeah, Alexander is a great place all around...clear, big and open, some nice areas to get tails on, etc. My hubby's camera is an Olympus PowerShot D20. He took some pretty good photos with it which I'll post as soon as I get a chance.

[Mernation]

Ha ha! Love that Arion!!! You're too funny!

And for those interested - we have a pic of our 2nd fluke design!!! It came out really well! It's just in it's initial stage of painting and this particular client wanted a modified shape so it's been cut down since this pic. So if you see a final pic of this tail it will be a bit shorter. But hope you all like it!!!

I sent them my leg dummy, some color swatches, and their money on Saturday. ^_^ Now I just have to wait until I get confirmation they received all if it, and then the really hard part begins. ;)

[mermaidtigris]

I can't wait to see your new tail! haha, waiting is always the hardest! :)

Recent Facebook Conversation (Can I just say that I love these people? Like, a lot.) :cool:

JACEY!!! Just received your package in the mail. YOU ARE SO SWEET!!! I can't wait to show michael and lauren their gifts. I know they are going to flip! Thank you so much. You are such a genuinely nice person and it is refreshing to know you. Thank you for bringing such a huge smile to my face today I'll get with michael and we will finalize the colors/design and get in touch with you soon. We want to make sure we are 100% on the same page with the design and then off we go! Thanks again for the gifts, I can't wait to wear my necklace!

I'm so glad you like it, sweetie. I thought you guys deserved a little something special for being so awesome. I mean, this conversation thread is forever long, and you've always answered my questions really quick, and your personality is so friendly and comforting, that it never felt awkward, or like you were impatient with me. Most of our conversations make me smile wide or laugh aloud. I'm just happy to return the favor.



Saturday 7:36am




You are so thoughtful! Love my tie ! Has to be a one of a kind. Now to find just the right event to debut it. I'll be playing with your colors and putting together a sketch along with describing the design in words and will get that to you soon so we can make sure we are giving you exactly what you want. Thanks again. Hope you had a great valentines day !



Saturday 11:27am



Oh, Hello Michael! I was hoping you would like it. About my colors, just wanted to make sure, I'd like the blues/greens to be metallic. Shiny, like a trout. I've seen your other tails, so I know you've got this. I admire your talent. I'm excited to see how you bring this idea to life, and I can't wait to hear from you guys again.Talk to you soon!

[Mermaid Dottie]

[Anahita]

Ok, wow! When I saw the sculpt for this fluke I was like "OMG"

Now that I see your tail, painted, just.... No words can do it justice! I really love it, with all the dots, the long, flukes, the colors.... It's just crazy-awesome! You have one fantastic tail right there!

[Mermaid Dottie]

Awe, thanks you guys. I'm so happy and thankful to have such a positive reaction to it. These guys have been so great with me the whole time, we communicated about the paint job all day yesterday, Michael would ask me how I liked something, and I would tell him what I thought, or I would ask for his opinion as an artist, and he would tell me. It looks so much like my picture, though, that it's like watching something created in 2d become a real, 3-dimensional object.

Sent from my C6916 using Tapatalk

[Mermaid Dottie]

I won't just be wearing their hard work and beautiful artistry,but mine as well. I don't know how many hours I spent in photoshop working on getting the design just right. The initial placement and color scheme didn't take very long, but I kept tweaking it until it was perfect (especially after the new fluke came out). 19051
There's a finishing touch or two to add after the fins are on and secured, and then I think she'll be done.

Sent from my C6916 using Tapatalk

[WavyMermaidy]

Awww, I figured that was your tail on their FB page! Congrats...so excited for you! They really are good at making the drawing come to life...mine looks JUST like the design I colored in for them :)

[Mermaid Dottie]

Yes, exactly! I know I'm getting exactly what I want on my tail, because I keep getting opportunities to share my input all along the way! I think I'm more in love with it every time I see it. <3

If you guys wanted to know how big the fluke is compared to a monofin, I have some pictures for you.

Looking at these, I am so glad they encouraged me to get a wave in it instead of a foil. I almost wish I'd asked for a competitor- almost.

Thanks, you guys! This is really the best community ever.
@Ariel, the rapid and the foil are my husband's. We got them so he could train for his tail. The wave is for me.
