Oh wow; c'est magnifique! I always did like Raven's clownfish design, and I offer kudos to her and Chad; this footage is Splash!​ quality, and I do not say such things lightly!

Did you know that tail is ALSO a fraken tail?? left over pieces!! SHE IS AMAZING.

[Anahita]

That video is absolutely splendid.

And holy crap.... That's a franken tail? That's two "franken tails" I've seen so far, and I can't believe either of them were made from scraps. Hail Raven, those are some serious skills.

[Mermaid Lorelei]

Aren't most of her personal tails franken tails?

[AniaR]

Yes

MermaidMichelle named it, it is as epic as Splash. Needed some moments to realize that it's "just" a costume...

[Kaila Mermaid]

Shimmygoddess, are you still selling the top?

[Mermaid Wesley]

Lovely! And no she isn't selling it anymore she is exchanging it with raven.

Drat. That's awesome that she can exchange it for the right size, though!

I couldn't either, but I found the video in question on the Merbellas youtube channel.

Hey friends, I just posted my review for my merbellas (named Nymeria) (yeah, after a year and a half lol) Also, question for those with silicone merbellas, mine is starting to rip in small places in the butt and down by my calf, this is new, I had no holes up to three months ago, did I break an age barrier and now it's starting to stretch more? I haven't gained weight, if anything I've toned up (yay abs) and I haven't done anything different. Granted, I think I may also use my tail more than the average mermaid, anywhere from 3-5 times a week (not as much as Raina by a long shot, but I feel a decent amount) So I don't know if it's just because I use it alot that this is happening, I'm assuming it's normal, but it makes me sad to see Nymeria start to rip. Coradion helped me fix some spots with silicone and so we'll have to fix a few more, but I was wondering at what age of your tail did you start finding little holes, or have you at all, do you just keep putting on silicone on those spots on the front and inside of the tail to reinforce? I'm a little freaked out because I need her to last me till Spring when I can get a new one. Also the inside has power mesh, I don't know if that makes a difference but I think helps and reinforces everything. Also my heel area shows no wear which is pretty rad.

[AniaR]

Pearlie Mae gave me powermesh and I found reinforcing rips from the inside with it prevented them from getting bigger. My tail started to crack/rip close to the 2 year mark only very minor but ramped up after mold infestation and increase in gigs. Silicone does harden over time which makes it more brittle I was reading on spfx forums.

[Kaila Mermaid]

That tail is absolutely gorgeous...

[Mer-Crazy]

Raina is that your top?! It's so beautiful! I love the way the blue pops against the oranges reds and yellows!

[AniaR]

Nope I shared mine already

[MermaidMichelle]

Harmony, you are beautiful and so is your review! You answered some of my questions regarding Merbella's tails' suction and drainage, and I am extra happy I chose a Competitor now because - despite my interest in being a tank mermaid - I might actually have one or more opportunities to swim in the real-life ocean!

Also, at first I wasn't sure if you were wearing fishnets, but I soon saw that you are wearing mermaid tail scale pants/tights! Those are really cool and perhaps you should review them too!

[Mermaid Harmony]

Michelle, Not to get too off topic, I'm glad you love my video :-) Thank you for the pretty comment (makes me smile), but yeah I love my leggings, I'm actually going to buy a new pair, and once those come in I'm gonna borrow Storm's Black Milk ones and compare the three, as I bought my ebay ones at the same time she bought blackmilk so mers can see how they change over time. :-) Tomorrow I'm doing Shell Bras :-)
