    Custom costume raffle to raise tail funds!

    In order to raise moolah for my for my mermaid tail I am going to hold a raffle as I just don't feel right asking for money without offering something in return!

    For every $10 donated you will get one raffle ticket or donate $50 and get 6! What are you hoping to win? I will custom make the winner a costume or costume piece of their choice for up to the value of $600! Click on the Chip-In link to make sure your entries are recorded:

    http://mermaidtail.chipin.com/my-mermaid-tail

    Please private message me with questions to see if your hoped for costume would qualify for the winning value. (FYI I cannot make realistic mearmaid tails but I can make fabric!) Costume will be delivered before the end of the year but most likely in December due to my current schedule. Raffle will end when $600 is raised!

    Check out my costume website or my burlesque website for ides on what I can do for you!

    Mermaid Tail update! Thanks to some sizeable in person contributions at DragonCon we are 60% of the way there (note the amount on the Chipin is smaller as I can't add the cash handed to me on there so just subtracted it from the amount)! So get your raffle tickets now! 1 for $10 or 6 for $50!

    And that's the ballgame kids! As long as the final $10 goes through (expected to clear on the 15-17) the raffle is over! I will announce the winner next week after I return from New Orleans & have a few spare minutes to videotape the drawing! FYI I had ordered the tail several weeks ago (covered the remaining amount on top of the donations; was hoping to have it for DragonCon) & it actually is scheduled to arrive this week!

    I purchased a green latex tail from the Mertailor. he posted a sneak peek of my tail yesterday; it should be here this week!



    Apparently mine is the last latex tail to be made without scalloped edges.

    I thought so awhile ago Kelly said you posted a donation on your face book and that tail looks really great I hope it looks as good in person!

    Yup! I have high hopes that it will be just as good in person and that it fits me perfectly! *crosses fingers while doing the happy dance*
