Finfolk Productions: anyone ordered a tail from them? I just did!

That's great, Octavia!

Hey guys, thank you very much for your encouragement. <3 I do have a birthday party coming up that I am doing pro-bono because I wanted to. I don't necessarily want to make a business out of this, but I'd like to volunteer and do fun things with it. That's how I'd get "my money's worth". I now have a photoshoot this weekend too. n_n So things are looking up and I'm doing my best to remain positive!

Here's an idea, you may have already thought of it...get a space at a local craft fair, farmer's market or other street fair, wear your tail, dress up your space all mermaidy and hand out business cards and flyers as a mermaid party entertainer...if you do face painting, or have a little treasure chest you can fill with little giveaway toys, even better! Meet the kids in your area and stir up a buzz. You'll be mermaiding at parties before you know it!

That is, if that's what you want to do!

[Aziara]

You just gave me an idea, PeaerlieMae! There's a local farmer's market in my town, and they have it in the town square (a mini park, really) and there is a shallow fountain right in the center. I wonder if they would let me swim in it with all the good luck pennies, lol. No harm in asking.

I know Iona has done something similar. From what I could tell, she got a pretty good response. Sounds like a good idea

We have many fountains in Paris. I'm tempted to do that but I wonder if it would be legal. I don't want to be arrested by the police lol

It is easier to apologize than to ask permission.

And just think, your arrest record would show that you were arrested for being a merman! Spin that into press! Eden Sirene did it just for getting banned from her pool and now she's doing charity cruises!

LOL Pearlie. That's true.

Here is a page for all the fountains in Paris : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountains_in_Paris

The least we can say is that I am spoiled for choice hahaha

[PearlieMae]

I would love to go and splash in each one, just to say I did!

[Mermaid Jessica Pearl]

Oh my goodness the koi tail they just posted!!!!! I am so tempted to just let them do whatever they want on my tail just to see what happens.

[Mermaid Sirenia]

I just saw that! Your tail is GORGEOUS!!!!

Not my tail. Mermaid ginger's tail. But she told me she gave them pretty free reign on the design so I'm tempted to do that with mine now. Just to see what would happen. Haha.

That koi tail... I left a scratch on my screen from trying to claw my way to that tail! It's by far one of the most beautiful koi tails I've ever seen! <3 The colors, the blending, DAT DORSAL!!

I'm so torn... I always thought that if I ever got a silicone tail I'd probably try to get a Merbellas... But Finfolk is really starting to convince me otherwise! The more stuff I see from them, the more I fall in love. <3

[Mermaid Jessica Pearl]

It is by far the best Koi tail I have seen from any tail maker. Koi tails often end up looking a little bit like cow spots but this is so subtle. That is what I like so much about finfilk. How subtle and fantasy-like they are.

[Mermaid Sirenia]

Oh haha I misread your post and thought you said your tail

I decided on my tail today thanks to fifi. Whale shark inspired!

That's going to look amazing! I've always loved spotted tails.

I am planning an order for a Finfolk tail asap and I'm just wondering for those who have ordered from them, did you get the basic trainer monofin or upgrade to the competitor? Just curious how that decision affected your tail, made it swim differently etc...?

[Marlin]

Competitor- For me (I have huge feet, so the monofin is huge to begin with) it made my fluke massive. Which made it a little tough to get used to in the water, as well as a huge strain on my ankle muscles which I am working on building up.

That being said, I love everything about it. I wanted to have a big fluke and knew I would have to do some work on my end to be able to use it. I also love the speed it gives me when I have a patch of open water and can really get moving.

[Mermaid Kelda]

I have tiiiiny feet (AU size 5/6, which is about a 7 US) so I was scared that the competitor might not fit my feet, but I went ahead and ordered it anyway. Aside from blisters on my second toes on both feet (which a pair of neoprene socks fixed) I'm really glad I got it. It swims beautifully, the fluke holds in the air, the flop is very pretty, and it's a stronger fin overall.

If your tail is going to be mostly a dry tail, don't bother with the competitor, because it's huge and cumbersome. But it's fantastic for swimming

[Mermaid Octavia]

Competitor for me! It's super huge and super fast underwater. Above water, it's very heavy and difficult to maneuver, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. The speed it gives me in the water is exactly what I wanted (and I'm a women's US 9).
