Better Body Goals-Accountability Thread

[Mermaid Oshun]

As a multiracial black woman I have a strange body shape, even though I'm losing weight from the way my spine is curved inward, I look fat or pregnant, not to meantion I'm a very tall woman, with four different skin colors.

I'm not the prettiest thing out here, I suffer from a disease known as pcos that affects the hormones and endocrine system, which makes me have male patterned hair, a very unsightly skin disease that looks like dirt which is called ancanthosis nigericans, and other things, so yes not a very pretty mermaid at all sadly.

Hello Black Akira. I also am a woman of color. 1/2 Black and 1/2 Italian. I also noticed what you are referring to even among attractive women of color. I recently saw that during Merfest a merman Typhoon posted a video of a very attractive Black mermaid (not Caribbean Pearl). It was ignored and received no complements. Similarly a photo of a black mermaid who purchased a tail was posted on Sirenalia's fb and some guy responded..."I have to say this but is she sitting on the boat bc she can't swim?" Meanwhile, Sirenalia posted photos of herself sitting in a tail also and no one saw reason to create a lame joke about her.
I honestly don't know what to tell you. To deny that severe preferences exist in mermaiding based on certain intangible factors is like denying that the sky is blue. Either that or you are unaware of the realities involved and prefer to remain in lala land.
Luckily there are some things which can be done. You can purchase a lace wig for your ovarian syndrome that affects your hair. I included a photo of a merhair in one of my threads and another mermaid started a snarky thread about why anyone would wear a wig for mermaiding when all you have to do is grow your hair. Well I am doing just that and my hair is currently approaching waist length. But everyone can not so lace wigs are an option for you.
With regard to the skin issue, there are some great cover up makeups for folk with vitiligo and those who wish to cover tattoos which may be helpful for your skin condition. If you would like to talk feel free to write me.
