This New Year Busselton Mermaids is buying old tails to repair and paint for mers of all ages to experience and enjoy! :)
I will buy tails of Fabric, Neoprene and Partial Silicone that will cost no more than $500 including postage to Australia zip code 6280. I will need pictures of the tail and any defects/damage and then I will decide if the tail will join our team :)
They will be truly loved and cared for! :mermaid kiss:
Such a lovely idea. :>
I was just asked if I will refurbish and sell the tails that I buy. The answer is no the tails I buy and care for will stay in the Busselton Mermaid home for the remainder of their life and they will be used for people to experience a mermaid life for a few hours all captured on film :)
So it's kind of like a retirement home for tails?
Yes I guess it is :)

Another tail will be heading to its new home here :)
Fifi what all do you do to the tails? Like do you repaint or repair them also? Also, is this like a rent-a-tail for the day kind of thing? Or is it more of a chairty thing? Maybe a combination of both
Yes if the tails need it I will give a quick repair and paint. I use the tails for my underwater photography and photography but I'm also looking into a fun little swim school for kids and adults :)
That's neat Fifi. The models who wear you tails for the photography, do you hire them? or do they hire you to take their pictures and use your tails?
They pay to have pictures and use the tail :)
Such an awesome idea. Love the quote "So it's kind of like a retirement home for tails?" <3

I'm so happy for you Fifi! If anyone is considering selling their tail, I HIGHLY recommend doing this. It's given me such peace of mind knowing my tail is going to such a loving home in the land down under!
:mermaid kiss:
Wow, Fifi! I know I've already said this, but I LOVE what you have done with my old tail. :-) It finally has been brought to its full glory. I never got a chance to bring it to that level. So glad it will be loved and cared for by someone as amazing as yourself. :-)
Awe thank you Kailani :mermaid kiss: I'm having auditions for teens/adults to wear it for a shoot soon to show off what Busselton Mermaids has to offer! It's not just children anymore thanks to you beautiful mermaids that allow me to adopt your tails <3

I have a mermaids r us basic silicone tail. It's red. It has a few spots where the silicone pulled slightly away from the seam, but it's not noticeable in the water. There is also a spot where I used transparent nylon thread to patch a small hole, but you can only see it if you really look. I don't remember the measurements, but it's the one in my picture.
