Mermaid or merman Casting Call for a baby shower
CASTING CALL!
Paid: 80$ for 2 hours (negotiable with experience or silicone tail)
City: Kent, WA
Time/date : Saturday evening @ a private location in South Seattle
Theme: It's for a friend's baby shower. Stranded mermaid or merman she says. Someone to push a hidden button to take photos primarily.
I'm looking for someone with a silicone tail or a high quality fabric tail and preferably a seashell top to go with it too. This is for an all girl's baby shower for a photographer friend of mine so she may also give you free photos as compensation on top of the pay. She's a well known retro photographer as well :) but identity will be released to the mer chosen.
Please write something on the post in the North Pacific Pod group on Facebook then send me a message or a link to your professional page/website on my Facebook. Or leave a link in the comments section in facebook. We will hire by photos and contact will be here until I pass you onto my girl. Pay will be given at the party.
I do not check mernetwork so please contact me via Facebook.
Thank you :)

I don't have a problem with what Meilin pays, it's the rotten attitude that rankles me.

Just as a reminder, THIS was my post.
In response Meilyn has
1) Hunted down a joking post where I mentioned a hangover in reference to a job entirely unrelated to mermaiding, in a thread unrelated to mermaiding
2) insulted my integrity as a professional and a performer
3) accused me of embezzlement and tax fraud
4) in nearly the same breath said I was inexperienced and had not booked any private gigs, and then went one to stalk my mermaid pages and ask why if I had been performing for so long, did I not have a business tax ID.
5) made up facts about me asking for free stuff from the community, when I have never done such a thing, and only joined MN in April after years of ghosting it.
6) accused me of being unhappy with my work and desperate for jobs without knowing anything about me or how I operate my mermaid career, or what my professional goals are.
Just so we're clear, I was just offering my perspective. As you can all see for yourselves I did not tell her what to do, I did not insult her, I merely offered a tiny piece of advice that had been expressed by others in this thread. I even mentioned my criteria for upping the price. I never said $40/hr was cheap for a new mer. I never said it was cheap for me. In the post I said I thought it was low for those credentials.
This whole thread is a great example of how people blow up and start drama over trivial things. It was an offhand comment typed on my phone.
