You are so cute!!! Please tell me the glasses were intentional! You would make a such a good hipster Ariel.
Actually those are my real glasses. I fully acknowledge that I am hipster everything I cosplay and I'm ok with that.
The Hipster Ariel image is enhanced by the man sitting next to you (your mertender?), and your being in an urban environment! :mermaid kiss:
Yes. That's my mertender Spenser. He dressed up like Eric to go with me!http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...bbd7158052.jpg
Awww, you two look so sweet together! :mermaid kiss:
Aww, that's so cute! I do actually love the "hipster Ariel" vibe you've got going on there, it's not overdone because it's so natural!
On a side note, HOW in Poseidon's name did yo get your shells to stay up like that?!? Spirit glue? You look to be about the same size as me, and I'm REALLY loving the no-bra look your sells have, and I'm just wondering how you keep your... ahem... "tracts of land" up haha!
I'm a size C. Basically I brushed spirit gum all over the back of the sea shells then I laid on my back and held them in place for about 5 minutes. I had my boyfriend tie the net around me really tight! The shells are a bit too heavy for spirit gum alone but it does help keep them from shifting. Next time I'm going glue the net to the shells to keep that from shifting. Otherwise it was a really great way to hold the shells on.Quote:

Finally finished my Summer Tail! I call it, Trout Fish.
Closed fluke with elastic waistband. Fin goes in through the waist. Its baggy at the ankles area as I tried to accommodate those two weird ridges on the sides of the MerFin. I didn't do so for my other tail, and the fabric ripped at the V of the merfin after many times of taking the fin in and out.

Awesome fin! I love the fabric. :)
Ooo that is a nice patterned fabric tail, but I especially like the name "Trout Fish"; it's so cute! :mermaid kiss:

My fist fabric tail which I made out of old galaxy leggings and a left over piece of fabric given to me by my heterosexual soul mate years ago ^^ (and a finis foil monofin tucked inside)
Plan to go for my first swim in a tail tomorrow <3
(I am not the best seamstress but I still think this turned out pretty ok :)
Love the galaxy print, Lunette! I have a pair of galaxy leggings myself :)
Renayh, I love your tail! pretty sequins, and nice paint job!
thanks ^____^
The sequinned tail looks good enough to eat (seriously; it looks like candy!) and the galaxy tail is brilliant; it should look magnificent in the water! :mermaid kiss: to you both!
beautiful tails!
I just got my very first mermaid tail today!! I am so excited to show it to you all.
It's a mertailor partial silicone tail, which is the kind that comes in two parts (a solid silicone fluke and a silicone/neoprin tail skin that goes over it). The two parts can be worn together or the fluke can be worn separately.
I was able to take it to the pool at my university tonight and the student lifeguards were so excited to see it. One of the lifeguards was actually one of my former students so that made for a pretty funny conversation. I only swam with the fluke tonight because I wanted to get used to it and make sure I could swim well enough before I added the tail. It was a great success. I was even able to take it into the diving well and play around for a while after I got use to it in the lap lanes.
I really love it - the color is beautiful and the tail itself fits like a glove. I know it will likely stretch as I use it, but at least right now it's TIGHT (which is how I wanted it!) and comes up nice and high to my natural waist, which is how I measured for it. It's also super heavy...it was REALLY hard for me to lift up the fluke when I was in the tail dry (pretty comical - I was lying on the floor like a limp noodle)! But in the water it was perfect - with the fluke alone in the pool I was completely neutrally bouyant (I'm usually positively bouyant) so that was pretty cool.
I will post more pics and info once I swim in the full tail - should be later this week!

Emma that looks beautiful! It looks so natural when it moves like that, the fluke I mean. I've never swam with them separately so I actually don't know how that feels, I haven't done that cause in our swimming hall there's always children at the same turn who have seen me as a mermaid and I don't wanna break the illusion... :D But that looked so awesome that I might want to try, so eagerly waiting for your swimming videos with the full tail :)
