My tails, I retrospective! The tails I own or have owned :D
Top left-Right
My first stretch vinyl tail, no monofin
Mertailor tail
Mertailor tail after Raven adjusted it

Second row left- right
Mertailor tail after Raven adjusted it, and I continued to repaint and adjust as it depreciated.
Rapdiash v1- the first silicone tail Raven ever made.
Rapidash v2, upgraded with extra fins, reinforcement, and new paint job

Third row left-right
A group shot of 3 tails I own plus Nessie’s hand made tail (rainbow- not mine). The interesting thing here is that the pink tail was originally the mertailor tail after Raven, myself, and mimi remade it!
The mermaid creations tail.
A tail I own made by music city mermaid made of sequins, next to Rapidash v2

Bottom row left-right
A sneak peek of mega rapidash, a new tail that will replace the original rapidash
a land tail Raven made me as a gift to be used in place of mega rapidash during dry gigs or gigs where I am concerned about damage.

This is how we make a mermaid business run :D

:swoon: I will never get over Ponyta. She's beautiful! I refuse to believe she's made from scraps. (Also, can I just say that I love the Pokemon names? Especially since Ponyta and Rapidash are my #1 faves <3)

I never realized how many transformations that Mertailor tail went through! I mean, I know you, Raven and Mimi all made modifications to it after it started to break down but I hadn't realized just how many times that happened.

it's literally held together by glue and stitching I swear. It's rags at this point, so full of holes. Mimi works super hard to keep it looking good but she needs a new tail. She doesnt want a big heavy silicone one she likes being able to not worry about the state of the tail. The issue is she's so darn tall so it's hard to find used ones that fit her

Ooo! Very nice!

I don't know if its just me or the photo is at angle, but the 1st Mertailor tail photo looks very long, almost snake like.

You're such an inspiration for merfolk that are starting out. Your story proves that no matter what you start with if you work hard and stay dedicated you can get where you want to go!
Though I'm really sad to see Rapidash be retired in the future; she's earned it. She's been a good tail for a long time.
It was so sweet of Raven to make you Ponyta! Looks like it will be a great tail for dry gigs like it was intended, and definitely feels like a baby version of Rapidash!
Mega Rapidash looks absolutely stunning from the preview picture and the matching top looks perfect! I hope you get many a good swim from her when she's finally in your possession. Well worth the wait. :3

Beautiful! Very nice to see all your tails together like that. Of course, I adore the sneak peek of Mega Rapidash, and I had heard about Ponyta but WOW how is that even made from scraps?!? It's gorgeous! :jawdrop: :O_o:

Also loving the tail names, heehee... So is Mimi looking for something more like a Neoprene tail? Or just a lightweight silicone tail?
