Yay! Ontario Mermaid party!
Okay so my crazy shell-drilling idea worked! I didn't really want to buy a drill or anything, and a dremel seemed expensive, but I had the idea that I could use an electric nail-care thing that I got from my Nanna a few years ago. So I thought: "I never use it, so why not try it out for shells?" And it works!! It's a great starting tool for someone who doesn't want to spend too much on jewellery stuff :) here's what it looks like, if anyone else wants a useful cheap mermaid shell tool :) Attachment 32687 ( also don't worry, I'm careful with the shell dust) :P
I used to have one of those. They're pretty intense so I could see it working on shells

100 Likes on my Facebook fanpage! It's a start, right? :lol:
I'll be swimming in Lake Tahoe this weekend! I brought my new sinus savers so I'll be trying those out too
Yay, Tahoe! You a should check out Angora Lake too. It's just a few minutes away and the water is clear and still. Good sunbathing rocks.Quote:

The best part?! The hotel allows mers in their (shallow) pool!
I'm never buying a swimsuit again! I can make my own!:yay::cheerleader:
Someone very special in my heart made one of my dream come true! :yay:
Thanks to him, I might have found a pool to swim! We are currently waiting for the email which will grant me the authorization to use my tail in the pool. Test swim this coming Saturday!! :dance:
I'm thrilled and very excited! :cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader:
:yay: Awesome, Arion! Fins crossed! :mermaid kiss:
Wellp, I'm currently out of a job because my current place is shutting down at the end of this week; though since what I was hired to do originally is gonna be covered by my boss during the store's last week, I would have had nothing to do... So Saturday was my last day (and I only found that out near the end of my shift Friday night). It's a weird feeling, and a bit of anxiety, but overall I'm feeling... Pretty surprisingly great about it?
Plus, for some reason, I've been bitten by the art bug for the first time in... Forever? And now I've taken on a huge project; "Project Eeveelution"!
Basically, I'm designing humanoid outfits ("Gijinka" I think it's called?) based off of each of Eevee's Pokemon evolutions. I'm planning on doing up concepts for all nine Pokemon, and naturally, I've started off with my favorite; Vaporeon!

(have a crappy cellphone pic)
It's just a WIP so far, but I'm loving how it's turning out so far and I can't wait to get started on the others!
I don't think I'll ever be able to make them into real costumes (my sewing capabilities are... not great, plus a lot of the materials and fabrics I'd need would be expensive as hell to get here), but I'm treating each design as if I were anyway, because it's a lot of fun brainstorming all of the different materials, and the different tricks I could use to get certain effects... I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself so far. :D
That is freaking cool 0.0Quote:

She is such a sweet, beautiful and talented Mermaid, and I am so glad I got to meet her!
I totally need to sit down this week and design some new tails. I'm on such a huge art kick lately for the first time in years and I could definitely come up with some awesome stuff. <3Quote:

I'm very thankful for sweet mermaids in this community who help and support me when I'm feeling down! :)
Also, here's a video of me feeding milk to my friend's kitten to spread the happiness!

I made my first paid swimming debut at a nightclub with a roof top pool last night. I was terribly nervous and terribly awkward, hahahaha. I am a glamorous creature of the deeeeeeeep!! Fortunately our fearless and lovely director was by my side to compensate for my general weirdness. I know I'll get better next time!
Congratulations Elodea! I'm sure you were enchanting! ;)Quote:

My local pool is back to its normal, non-sunburn hours, so I'm going swimming tomorrow! I've been once all summer because of their craptastic hours.
Also, just found some Malibu Swimmer Wellness shampoo. Has anyone tried this? I'm happy to find a swimmer shampoo that's sulfate free!

If that's your leg behind your head IN THE CAR, A: I'm glad you're driving on the other side of the country; B: Why aren't you working for Cirque de Soleil?
hahaha I'm not driving just yet (almost there!) And I used to do dance, I'm looking into finding an aerial studio.
I put hummus on my sandwich as the condiment.
My taste buds have ascended to a higher level of existence.

My lunch nearly every day - hummus on tortillas stuffed with veggies, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.Quote:
