    this may be a really weird question but because your tail bag is so huge. can you fit inside it? like how far deep can you, yourself, your entire body fit in your bag? just curious

    Her tail looks big is because of the material used in making it. Silicone, neoprene and latex are thicker materials. And the more layers/colors you add, the bigger and fatter the tail will look. It has nothing to do with the size of the person wearing it. For example, a thin person in a high end tail will also look slightly fatter because of the tail.

    And if it were a fabric tail and the same size fluke, you might say her tail looks small because the fabric is a thinner material.

    As far as I know, just from looking, only her waist and her legs go into it. I think a full bodied tail would too super heavy to swim in, unless you were an athlete swimmer, like very strong you could prob swim easily in a full silicone mermaid suit.

    I'm loving this who vlog series so much! It's really useful and informative C:
    I have a question though, have you ever gotta really sick before a gig? How do you go about dealing with that? Also what's been the best part about being a mermaid so far?

    What do you mean by legit? like my swimming? feeling like a mermaid?

    Yes, I have chronic illness. So yeah I have. Once I landed in the hospital and was frantically texting with the client. There was also a giant snow storm. So the venue ended up closing anyway so it would have been cancelled either way. Another time I had the stomach flu and was up all night trying to track down other mermaids to do the gig for me and got them last minute. The client was super pissed before hand but realllly happy afterwards.

    I do feel sick a lot of the time that I do gigs and sometimes it shows in my photos. I have a lot of pain mostly. If I had contagious symptoms or vomiting etc I wouldn't do a gig I'd get my other mermaids to do it. if you don't work with other mermaids it's good to at least know who the others are around town so you can maybe get someone to fill in for you.

    Sometimes, it just can't be helped. if you have to cancel you have to cancel even if people get really angry. Sickness sucks all around.

    For everything else I load up on meds and try to see it through. My gigs are typically 1-2 hours and I can usually push on through.

    So you want to be a mermaid? Vlog #4: Social Networking (and my rant about facebook fan pages) I had to reduce the visual quality slightly on this video, otherwise it would have taken 24 hours to upload. Stupid upload caps!

    Lol well you all see what he pulls. But no you know me just being dramatic with Eric and everything is because I start it. Here's how this goes: if I respond in any shape or form he gets that drama and attention. It builds until people get annoyed then he claims to turn a new leaf and I an told to accept an apology and let it go. Must be time number 59 now. Tail as old as time. Perhaps I'll make a timeline!

    Honestly when I read that he copied people's ideas I had no idea you all meant he legitimately copied directly within 24-48 hours of the idea being presented. I can't believe it.
