Mizuko----gorgeous tail! I love different tails :)
Everyone's tails are so very beautiful! It's such a pleasure to see all the creativity. I love how every mer has his or her own very unique style :)
Mizuko, the paint job on your tail is pretty! I love it!
I have a Raven tail fund going too! Hoping to have it by Novemberish! She will definitely go far with her business. It's already booming for her :)
Wow! It was really nice to see all of your tails. It was good to get a real perspective on what types of tails are out there, and what the pro's and con's are for various makers.
Im going to try and write up a really comprehensive look at all the different types of tails and the pros and cons of each type. not by maker, but by the actual type of tail.Quote:

I just finished my special fx latex tail! It's also my first ever made, im super happy, its really tight on me and a bit short on the butt area when I sit up but I like the low hip tail style so I'm gonna add some scales to the back. Tomorrow is my test drive at a friends pool so il post pics of me wearing it tomorrow. What do u think?Attachment 3421

Blue looks good on you!
Ooh, nice :)
Here are some of my pics from my underwater shoot yesterday in Puerto Rico with my first latex tail. Had allot of fun and loads of people would go to watch me swim. Photos were taken by Romualdo Fraticelli. Pics were taken at a live reef and the photo in the center was taken at 20 feet of water.

Ilonka! Your tail looks so amazing! I REALLY love those colors! They compliment you so well! How does it feel to swim in it? By the way, your hair looks so pretty under water O_O It's like angel hair...
Thank you! It was hard choosing the colors so I just used all my favorites! It's better than I expected but not as good as I wanted so I still have a few things to fix.
Today my friend took a video of her daughter and I swimming around in my Oceanika Merfins. Sorry for the poor quality - she filmed it on her ipad and then emailed it to me. Ah well - still works! The Oceanika Merfins are great for recreational use and ease of portability!! Anyway, in one of the videos we were just trying to make big splashes. In the other, we're just swimming.

and lastly, this was just for fun... it looked so silly and was making us all laugh, so of course we had to pose for a picture!

How much are those? They look like the would fit inside my tail perfectly and I'm looking for a new monofin.
$139 plus shipping which is $25, so total of about $175. There's going to be one in my tail that mermaid parties is making
me right now :-)!
Here's the link to the page where you can order them at:

i agree with Mermaid Aqua Raven makes the best tails :cool:
I love the way your flukes move in the water, Ilonka. Great pictures!!!
Thank you! That's why I made an extra large fluke cuz I really wanted it to be flowy in the water
