The file is too big to post (and I've resized until it's frigging tiny and it's still too big) but here's a link to my Mermaid Pirate photo for International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which happened to fall on Mermaid Monday this year! :D

Not really a mermaiding video, but I had a fun time creating this little vlog/skit about what my experience has been as a mermaid these first few weeks at college!

A couple weeks ago, I got to meet up with a couple other mers as we were all at the same con. Was the first time I got to swim with others. I was nervous to do this, mostly because I'm a large person so I probably wasn't what they expected in the size of a merman. We also got some pics done so I got some good pics of me with my tail on finally. Just posting a pic of me by myself as I don't want to post the others unless they are ok with it. Was a fun evening to finally do that and get to swim with others!

What would make me be considered unprofessional
No unprofessional, Non-professional. As in those of us who do not use mermaiding as our job.
Just derping in my dorm after sewing pearls on a bra lol

Okay but seriously is there a secret to taking good selfies that show off your tail?! Lol
This is my first tail, it arrived a few days ago and I'm super excited! Gonna swim in it tomorrow.

I tend to opt for the "hands free" timer option on my phone camera for Tail selfies. Find good way to prop it up and then set the timer and pose.Quote:

So what happens during my first swim? Five minutes after entering the water: Pop! The insert breaks. The break was left to right, right under the arch of the foot.
I went to customer services on the ship to see if they could do anything. They offered to take it away and see if their maintenance folks could fix it. I declined, as I had no idea what they would actually do. They could give me a roll of duct tape.
I went to the on-board gift shop and bought some novelty pencils. They had a large diameter, over half an inch. At that point I knew I had a chance; the pencils were decorated with drawings of mermaids.
Half an hour of tape work later, and I had a useable fin. The repair would only last about an hour in the pool. The tape would work lose, and once wet, would no longer stick. On top of that, the cheaply made pencils were put together with questionable glue, and had splices. But, it was good enough for a few swims on the way over, during the waterfall excursion, and a couple while coming home.
No more polycarbonate. Polypropylene from now on. It’s cheaper in any case.

Gotta say...that sounds freaking adorable!Quote:

I'm in the middle of MAKING a fabric tail for myself ( I bought a fin fun as a beginner tail and am already making a sequin one before i've even swum XD) Hope to go soon!
Same XD Lol![emoji1]
