I heard too that the Linden will fit in these tails.
The Linden has a lot of good reviews too.
I like my Fin Fun monofins too.
I like the look of this tail, even though my colors are cool ocean colors. They look good in motion too.
I checked with the table someone posted on here with was fantastic. I'm gonna buy one in the next couple weeks. Got fabric coming from spandex work to make and paint my own tails so I'm really excited to get it and start

Ok does anybody else have this problem. Me and my husband went to WalMart and I saw some little girl pjs that were mermaid themed. At first I was like awwww how cute , (wishing they were my size) but then I notice that they have the scales running up the pants the wrong way. I pretty much went on a wild rant right then and there (my husband just stared at me in disbelief). Mermaid scales facing the wrong direction just make me sooooo upset! Like a cat getting their fur rubbed the wrong way. Perhaps it's just the pregnancy hormones I'm dealing with right now.
No it's not just you, I hate when the scales are.the wrong way round

Same here, as if they don't care which way they should go
You mers must hate parrot fish then. They have their scales going "the wrong way".Quote:

Yes, this species has the scales going the opposite way.Quote:

:lol: I feel that!!!!
I have the same rant about a few other things: no one apparently knows what a horse looks like anymore. I grew up in the late 50s/60s when everything was a western and there were illustrators like Wesley Dennis and Sam Savitt doing horses in kids' books. Now, it's like... um, Mr Google is your friend. If you're an amateur artist, whatever you do is practice, but when you are being paid DO YOUR FRIGGIN RESEARCH!!!
Let's not even get started on Santa's Dysfunctional Reindeer Harness...
OK, let's.
Every year I do a (hopefully hilarious) rant on my blog about how Christmas is doooooomed because no seasonal artist seems to be able to spend five seconds on Mr Google looking up reindeer harness.
I have driven ponies, goats and sled dogs. I have a clue what works and what doesn't (dogs and goats are different shapes so no you can't put that sled dog x-back on a goat.... ooooops).
There is a sport called ski-joring, where you lash yourself to a couple sled dogs and ski.... you can also do it with horses, tho you just hold onto a tow line because lashing yourself to a horse will kill you.
Also...reindeer. Yes, they ski-jor with reindeer...it's certifiably nuts.
So yes, if you screw up the scales I will send out the mermaid ninjas to smite you with pool noodles....
as for parrotfish, pretty sure the actual scales overlap so the water flows toward the back (like feathers on a bird)... it's hydrodynamic. The color pattern works the other way...https://www.petguide.com/wp-content/...parrotfish.jpg
"They have large thick scales that, in some species, are strong enough to stop a spear." https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/...hes/parrotfish
It's really pretty

But would a parrotfish mermaid poop sand and sleep in a mucus cocoon? :D
:jawdrop::lol::lol::lol:
that table/chart is old, swimtails ended up redesigning all their tails to fit mahina now.
Ah got ya

I wouldn't order from swimtails at the moment anyway
No me either. I'm gonna order a tail from fin fun as they have a range that fit the Linden as does the mertailor

Either the Vancouver mermaid or Nerdmaid Faith did a youtube video on the Swimtails story and its conundrums. The gist I got is they grew too fast to keep up with orders.
I love my Fin Fun stuff, affordable (even for me), works, looks great.
Of course the custom tail makers are a whole nother level of awesome.
Well I just got a message from my doctor that I failed my glucose test. Now I have to go in on Monday and take the 3-4 hour test, take their nasty sugar drink, and get poked every hour. I'm ready for my Merling to be out and in my arms, cause all this doctor stuff with their nasty concoctions and poking needles is getting me a bit upset. Feels like I'm dealing with a Sea Witch.
Aww bless you hun not nice. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 7 years ago and the drs I was with were shit. I just got told to read all the leaflets they gave me. When I switched drs i was told i should have been on meds and i should have had a pneumonia shot. XxQuote:

I just hope it was on off day and I pass the next test easy. I'm going to try and stay away from all things sugary this weekend. Never had any problems before so I'm guessing this is all baby.
Oh yes you can be diabetic when your pregnant and it just disappears when baby is here xx

Gestational diabetes is a thing. Sometimes it goes away after pregnancy. Sometimes not.
My dad has been a massive dick. Tonight he went to eat some tortilla chips, noticed that the bag was almost empty and called me a pig assuming that I ate all of the bag while he was in the shower(which I didn’t btw, my mom at a bunch too). I’m sooo done with his bullshit and to make things worse I share a car with him and he told me I cannot use the car until I lose weight. My dad has always been mentally, verbally and a bit physically abusive(he stopped hitting me when I got out of high school though), but it has gotten worse since he’s retired.
I have no way to get out of the house because I’m unemployed right now and trying my hardest to find a job, and I don’t have my own car.
I am just super emotionally hurt and upset, even though I should be used to it by now. My mom barely does anything about his meanness, just said after I tried to talk to her about it that she would talk to him tomorrow about it.
Sorry for ranting, I’m just super hurt.
Bless you hunny that's so noticeable or fair. For one calling you names about your weight I itself is bad enough, but it being your dad that's doing this, a man who's supposed to be your protector, who's supposed to help and guide you, is just awful. Your mum needs to frigging help.you and say something to him. My husbands father was mentally and verbally abusive to him all his life, hes was such a quiet withdrawn person when I met him. He hasn't has anything to do with his dad for about 10 years now. He was never invited to our wedding either which really upset him, (good). How does he expect my hubby to want to have a relationship after the abuse. His mum never spoke up either and now him mum has lost him too. Me being me I wouldn't be able.to keep my mouth shut and I'd find something to pick on him about. Do not let him bully you l. I know it will be hard as you live under their roof and they could easily ask you to leave. You rant on here as much as you like and if you need to rant some more I'm a good listening ear and you can find me on Facebook

It's hard dealing with abusive people. If you are (temporarily) stuck with them, finding some kind of therapy is helpful. You are likely to find a way to independence, to setting boundaries with the jerks, and to self confidence.
What your body is like is none of his business.
Work toward whatever goals YOU need. Aim for active, healthy, eat mostly good stuff... but everyone is a different set of DNA and body chemistry and shape. You do you.
Your mom is probably feeling stuck too, and it sounds like her way of dealing with it is to do nothing. She may be lacking self confidence too.
Just keep swimming swimming swimming...
Convo with my dad today
Dad: “You’ve lies to me for years”
Me: “You’re physically, mentally and verbally abusive”
Dad: “You get what you’ve deserved”
No one deserves to be abusedQuote:

They go perfectly with the Andromeda tail I ordered from Fin Folk, which should be shipped soon too! I’m so excited! But I never knew you were into mermaiding. I should have guessed given your shop name and contents lolQuote:

A mermaid from outside my local pod is bullying one of our groupie photographers. He does free photoshoots for us as a hobby, is nothing but kind, and has taught me a bit about underwater modeling. He once spent a whole day with me and another mermaid during one of our big three-day meetups (there were nearly 100 mermaids there) and just photographed us and chatted. He is not by any means a mervert or collector, and if anyone insinuates that he is, I will be very angry.
The mermaid in question is an out-of-state professional mermaid, has worked for Aquamermaid at one point, and is a swim instructor. She had a photoshoot with our photographer, (again, for FREE mind you) and he taught her how to do underwater reflection shots. She tried her hand at taking a bunch of them in her pool, and sent him all of her photos though he didn't ask for them. Then when he had another photoshoot with a friend of mine, she publicly accused him of art theft and that HE was copying HER even though he's already been doing this style of photography for years. She's also publicly decrying him as "unprofessional" even though he does all of his photoshoots for free.
Fortunately, nobody is believing her where she is currently posting this, but she is a professional mermaid and he just hangs out in our community pod. I'm already furious that she's targeting him with her drama, but I will be even more upset if she goes crying to her instagram followers or however she networks to slander him further. This photographer has been nothing but a blessing to our pod, and she's not even from our community.
My problem: I want a tail that maybe 3 people in the world own and there's little info about it.

So my Merling is finally out! YAYA! He is super adorable! :) Unfortunately on the way out he ripped me up a bit and now I have annoying stitches and have not been able to leave the house for almost a month which is causing me to have cabin fever. I just wanna swim, but can't till the Dr gives me the ok. This Mer has gone without water for far too long! :(
She doesn't sound professional at all.Quote:
