So I've been on here for a while and I've been part of the mermaid community for about 3 years now. I've never fully introduced myself. My name is Mermaid Lindsey and I am known for being Mermaids-And-Anchors. I am also 18 years old (19 on Sunday)
I saw Mermaid Melissa at Ripley's Aquarium in 2010 I think. I had no idea being a mermaid was a profession. I sat front row and she swam down in the tank. The woman on the microphone said she was just a baby, 3 years old, I thought that was so cute. I teared up so much thinking "Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful." Moving on, I was on tumblr on my horror blog and I looked up "mermaid" in the tag and found Raina Mermaid. I started following her. I just fell more and more in love with the idea of being a mermaid. I then created the blog mermaids-and-anchors. Making the blog opened a huge doorway for me in being educated with mermaids. I started learning more and more and more, where to buy a tail, how to become a mermaid, how to do tricks, how to do this and that. I decided I wanted to do it. So here I am, a professional mermaid, licensed in July 2014. I am mostly mentored by Lanai, the New York Mermaid. She helps me a lot with any advice I need or helps me get gigs.
My goal is to become a "horror" mermaid. I want be in a tank at parties with a black tail, like raves and such. Doing 'killer mermaid' photo shoots. Be in movies or short films for big screen or for kids working on a film for class, being scary & whatnot.
For right now I kind of have to make a name for myself as a professional mermaid so I have a nice pretty tail and I do kids parties, nothing scary lol.
That's mostly all my mermaid stuff, as for an introduction of me... My name is Lindsey, I went to cosmetology school and working on getting my license soon. I'm a professional mermaid. I also want to be a fire dancer/breather/eater when I'm not doing mermaid stuff. I'm going to go to school for laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, and botox so I can make some extra money. I have 11 piercings and 4 (5 on Saturday) tattoos. I've done one party with all my tattoos and piercings showing, the client said it was no big deal (I kind of felt bad because I know she didn't want anything showing but I came into some complications and had to show, I was able to hide the ones on my wrist though.)
I've actually been really really nervous about introducing myself for the longest time because I hear from people that there's drama. I don't really like drama and I don't want anyone to hate on me or put me down. I also usually prefer to be a loner and do my own thing and learn myself and come in with other mermaids&mermen here and there. So yeah, this is me trying to become social and get to know other mermaids and mermen because I don't really have a lot of people to talk to about it without getting "who's that? what's that? what?" and I get really excited to talk to other people about it because they know what I'm talking about.
Anyways...
Just wanted to say hi!
