Oh I'm not a freelance artist, I'll be hired by my university through the art department so I'm sad to say that I can't ask for any higher pay since the pay will be coming from the university and all universities in AZ just went through a major funding cut.

Wow, they're seriously asking too little, but I understand you can't demand more. It was $30 an hour at my school, more if the class was longer than 2 hours.

I was at a boxing gathering last night (don't ask) and I met this dude who I instantly clicked with because the room was full of testosterone and I didn't feel comfortable (husband was there too but he was mostly quiet) we could not stop talking about metal. Or anime. Or musicals. Or instruments. ... Or Disney marvel.. And (wait for it)...


MERMAIDS!!! He talked about how his sister was obsessed with mermaids so then I saw that as a segue into the world of mermaiding and he thought it was totally awesome how we all have swimmable tails. Discussed materials for the tail, tail makers, ...

Besides the shittastic fight btwn floyd and manny , it was pretty ok

My first swim in my mermaid tail is TONIGHT! <3 I am SO EXCITEEEEDDD. Was gonna take it last weekend but my legs and feet were so screwed up after all the running around I did at the sci-fi on last weekend that I didn't think I'd survive flailing around in a monofin on top of it all. But I am SO READY FOR TONIGHT! My best friend is coming with me, and my other friend/her sister is the head lifeguard tonight (and is the one who was helping me practice my dolphin kick) so she's totally cool with me bringing my tail to the pool.

I'll admit though, I'm also a tiiiiiiiny bit nervous because I'm not so great at having attention focused on me and I feel like that'll definitely happen when I show up in the pool wearing a mermaid tail... But hopefully I can get through it without getting too uncomfortable. XD

Also, I'll double-check once I get there on if they'll let me take video and pics of my tail. They're normally SUPER strict on their no-cameras policy, but lifeguard-friend may be able to make an exception. If not, I won't push it. :P

Getting ready to retire my neoprene/silicone tail. She lasted about 50 swims. I'm getting some fabric today to work on a new fabric tail to tide me over while I work on my full silicone tail.

Only 50? What happened to her?

[SummerRogue]

I have just been placed in the Camp America exchange program! I'll be going to Des Moines Iowa for the summer! Are there any mers there?
I have a few Saturdays off.

[Raayvhen]

It was probably 200+ hours of swimming. She's just all scratched up and the silicone is separating from the neoprene.
