So excited! Now I can't seem to decide on the shape of my pectoral fins... I know I want them, I'm just not sure which ones to pick. @_@
What are the options and what fluke are you going with Octavia? Maybe we can help?

I know Finfolk is super busy so I don't want to pester them by asking tons of questions.
Initially I was going for pectorals like on this tail, but when I see it in the water, I don't care much for it. It might be better if it stopped mid-thigh, maybe? But there's also pectorals like ChristoMer has: https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...11948724_o.jpg These are more pointed(?), I guess? Honestly, I'm looking for something that's both pretty and functional. With a black tail, I'd love for it to look badass but I'm at such a loss... @_@ I hope this blathering makes even a lick of sense.
Personally, I would go for the fins like ChristoMer's if you're hoping for a badass black tail. :3 Is the entire tail going to be black, or are you going to have highlight colors?
Fifi - I am WAY excited for you. What colour palette did you pick for little Emily? She's gonna be so thrilled.
Dan - I'm looking forward to seeing another merman tail! Merman dorsals, WOOHOO! (also, the red of your tail is gonna go well with your farmer's tank, lol)
Octavia - I am so psyched for you. Like I told you before ... URSULA COLOURED TAIL. Lol. I think a black and purple with silver highlights and a mean looking dorsal would be kickass, but that's just me. Can't wait to see what you decide on!
Theo - How exaaactly does one apply the lube to get in the tail, lol
Btw Syrena, saw you in the Yahoo article. You looked lovely. Too bad they didn't feature your new tail from Finfolk.
Waikiki Mermaid: Aww, thank you, you're a sweetheart. <3 Yeah, my Finfolk tail was still in the first stages of being cast in silicone at the time, so it wasn't in the article. Which is a pity, but oh well! I have high hopes that it's gonna arrive today. :D
Fins crossed for you. I love watching mers get their tails. Unboxing vids are 90% of the reason I come on here. Can't wait to see you in it. That fluke is just godly.
The base color will be black and then there will be purple stripes from front to back and a gradient silver belly, like my neoprene tail (though it's probably hard to see in my avi). I think you're right with the badass fins like ChristoMer has. I hope he doesn't mind. >>Quote:

That's why I'm going for pectorals instead. :) EDIT: PLUS I realize in the gigs I do, there's a lot of sitting involved and I'm afraid that would just ruin a dorsal. I do a lot of volunteer appearances with the Oregon Mermaids and a lot of times, we're sitting in some kind of chair!
In the interest of keeping mine a tad realistic, this is what I originally sent to Finfolk:

I'm so excited to see your tail, Dan, seriously! Ahhhh, it's going to look awesome. :D

WOOOOOW!!! <3
There are the pictures I came to see. Congrats, it suits you, Syrena. Love your face :jawdrop: You look so happy. Now be a dear and put it on. :]Quote:

Congrats on finally receiving your tail, Syrena! Can't wait to see your unboxing video :)
That has to be one of the most beautiful tails I have ever seen! Congratulations Syrena!
