    Red face Re homed Tails for Busselton Mermaids

    This New Year Busselton Mermaids is buying old tails to repair and paint for mers of all ages to experience and enjoy!
    I will buy tails of Fabric, Neoprene and Partial Silicone that will cost no more than $500 including postage to Australia zip code 6280. I will need pictures of the tail and any defects/damage and then I will decide if the tail will join our team
    They will be truly loved and cared for!

    I was just asked if I will refurbish and sell the tails that I buy. The answer is no the tails I buy and care for will stay in the Busselton Mermaid home for the remainder of their life and they will be used for people to experience a mermaid life for a few hours all captured on film

    So it's kind of like a retirement home for tails?

    Fifi what all do you do to the tails? Like do you repaint or repair them also? Also, is this like a rent-a-tail for the day kind of thing? Or is it more of a chairty thing? Maybe a combination of both

    Yes if the tails need it I will give a quick repair and paint. I use the tails for my underwater photography and photography but I'm also looking into a fun little swim school for kids and adults

    That's neat Fifi. The models who wear you tails for the photography, do you hire them? or do they hire you to take their pictures and use your tails?
