Bella Thorne is a Disney channel star from Shake it Up!. Pretty typical Disney show but it's not the worst out there. :P

Same. It's just a mer-thing I think.

Those tails look like they don't fit. Especially the middle one. It's twisting at the ankle as her body is turning!

Probably not made to order, I think they were on-hand and he sent them for the shoot. They do fit badly and my non-mer friends have commented to me on it, so it's not just me being picky!

I meant the monofin. :P They are just his rental tails, definitely.

this whole "project mermaid" is pretty much identical to one that was already done a few years ago with celebrities. There was even a video documentary made. The only difference is they used fabric tails and then photomanipulated over the top. Even some of the photos look posed exactly like old ones. It was posted about on the forum years ago, I can't find links but I'll go on a hunt and show you. They published a book, did a few ads, and did some film work. I think it was called the mermaid project. lol. Anyone from the old days (aka 2-3 years ago) know what I'm talking about?

so yeah, to me this is just a rehashed project meant for publicity for mertailor and the photographer. *shrug* From what I've seen so far from the series it's really not that different than any of the mermaid photography already out there. But I have a high standard, there's only a few mermaid photos I'd even consider really high up. Linden in Jellyfish lake is one of em ;)

I wish they would put celebs in other tail makers tails. I love the mertailors tails (when they're done right) and obviously he's very well known but I want to see celebs in Ravens tails or FinFolks tails, they are BEAUTIFUL every time and they deserve just as much publicity!!

He actively seeks out celebrity work so he can use it to endorse his tails. Most other tail makers are too damn busy. But I've seen celebs in mermagica tails and foxmoon tails. Also a lot of other tail makers just use their fb and get loads of business, some don't have websites. Most people just don't have time to constantly be putting out marketing materials. Raven barely advertises what she does, all she does is FB, and she has a wait list years long.
