Been trying the lottery for months!
I've even used tarot, but I'm always 2 or 3 numbers off.
I'm beginning to think tarot isn't as accurate as I used to believe :p

anyway, I'd splurge on one of those tail spots if I could.
My parents, however, would be even less palatable if I bought a tail ("f*cking childish nonsense you do all day") while they are up to their ears in bills and loans they have no money for.

If only I had the money:money:

oh wowza, that is going to look stunning when thats finished!!!!!! :D

Wesley, it might take some lube, but it's dragonskin, it'll stretch! :lol:

Okay, it's settled. I need a Pearlie Mae tail!

I'm think'in your going to need Regina to help make scales.
:) We're talk'in lots&lots of scales.

The website looks amazing and I still can't get enough of your tail!!! It is so beautiful I can't wait to see what creations you come up with for your clients!!!!

Oh wow it is wonderful to see your business take off, PearlieMae! :mermaid kiss:

Also, you look ADORABLE with that little sparkly tail, Wesley! :mermaid kiss:

Congrats Pearlie. Good luck with selling the tails.

Welp, I've officially added you to the list of tailmakers I need a tail from. <3

Thank you, everyone! I am so excited to be starting this new chapter!

Monday, I'm going to Smooth-On in Pennsylvania (and taking my tail with me), to talk with the tech reps and take a tour of the plant! :yay:

It's clear, so your fluke could be kind of translucent... Actually, I think the way it dries "clear" (you know, not actually clear) would lend well to the "phantom" effect.

Thanks for posting this! I'm right about to start my first silicone tail and was wondering how to make a translucent fluke, so thanks so much!

Woah, that's super cool! Take pictures!

I hope I will be able to! Pictures, that is...

Just heading back from a day at Smooth On with owner, Clay Western, spent lunch talking mermaids, new products, and the huge new facilities they are moving into soon!

My tail was a big hit with the staff!

R they going to use your tail in their ads?
Makes a hek of an example! Likely the most complicated silicone item they've ever seen.

Not by a long shot, but that would be cool! I'm a tiny minnow in a huge silicone pond!
