I got my tail pickup video! All I did was merge the two videos and stabilized it, but sorry for the bad quality and weird facial expressions! https://youtu.be/1ZcOl7o_hEQ

So far Erin has been responding to my emails and has been incredibly patient with me and all my questions. I'm working on my dummy today and will hopefully have it to them by the weekend.
So many naughty jokes last night. Including being tied up by twins.
I finally got chance to go swimming today! Here is a short video that I was able to piece together, they only let me film at the end of the swim time with 2 minutes left. I had already been swimming for about 3 hours and was super tired at this point. I hope to have a better video soon
Congratulations on your first swim, Merkitty! The tail looks awesome in you
Such a pretty tail, Merkitty! And congrats again
Almost done making my first tail!!! -progress pictures at http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?9784-Excited!-P-might-make-a-tail-tips&p=195098#post195098

Isn't it great moving to MerNation after that fiasco with Jesse? I know I'm darn proud of my new tail!!

Thank you everyone and yes Celeste its fantastic, im actually quite glad it fell through with Jesse. Although it would have been cheaper (Mernation still ended up being low cost comparatively anyways) it would have been TERRIBLE his work is no good. I paid some more and got my dream tail! If Jesse had actually made my tail it would have been mediocre and I would have had to follow up on an upgrade way sooner then I thought. With Mernation I got my dream tail, that I will not need to upgrade from, and it didn't cost $3000+ like it would have from any other tail maker. You cant go wrong with Mernation for a tail. I completely missed your video, i just took a look, its amazing Celeste! I cant wait to see you swim in it

Just got an email from Erin that all my stuff made it there. Hopefully I'll see a sketch in a couple days.
Yeah my top doesn't fit me right either. Too fat for it. Good thing I have a shell top backup that fits fine. It fit Erin perfect but she's thinner than me. I can lose weight and fit in it though. Gunna be a while. Fat girl problems I wasn't impressed with Jesses work. Can see the monofin right through the silicone and not fond of the fluke or extra fins. Weird.

OooooOOoooh, look at this thing! o:
I think I may try to contact them again. I just feel self conscious as they were so amazing with the tail. The top still cost $200 and I should do something about it. I tend to let things like this sit around forever because I feel so shitty about it
Also, Wooooooow! That black tail is beautiful!!
I finally took my tail out for a spin this past weekend, and here are my thoughts. (Keep in mind, I have a Competitor in my fluke, so this was the main issue with my tail.)
-The Competitor is SUPER heavy, and difficult to maneuver in the water. My last tail could spin on a dime, this one takes a much larger turning radius.
-The Competitor also makes kicking slow, but the speed is fantastic. My poor videographers really had to work hard to keep up with me.
-My feet at one point slipped out of the heel straps and things got dangerous quickly. I'm glad I had two dive buddies with me, or I would have been in A LOT of trouble. So, for next time, tighten the heel straps. No biggie.
-I'm really glad I had neoprene socks. Thanks for the tip, MerNation!
-My pudge rolled over the top of my tail, even though the tail covers my stomach. It was a very oddly-placed pudge. Angles will be my friend when it comes to photography. That one is still my fault.
-Getting in the tail was easy. Getting out, not so much. This one is going to take practice.
-The finned bracers were AMAZING. The fins would point straight down, acting as a stabilizer while I swam. If anyone wants to order bracers in the future, get them made like mine. They kept my arms warm, too.
Pictures to come!

I am currently hyperventilating and having a minor anxiety attack... I just sent a message explaining the issue with my top to Mernation. I hope it goes well. I freak out way too much about things like this. Curse my chubby body and anxiety issues!
I know how you feel, it happens to me all the time.
