Most of my friends think that my mermaiding is neat and enjoy learning things I tell them, but my partner thinks I'm weird and it's just another one of my little obsessions I'm going through and will grow out of it in time. I doubt that will happen. He does think saving up and spending thousands on a silicone tail is crazy. That's why I shall use fabric tails for awhile. When he sees it is something I really enjoy doing and going to stick with it, a silicone tail won't be such a big deal.
