I'm really happy because I am going to possibly have my tail by the end of this summer, since its been so long I'm resending my measurements hopefully this week? I'm also cleared to possibly buy a new top to go with it? I got some new nail polish which suits my mersona WONDERFULLY. I'm also cutting my hair back from the awkward pixie growing into a bob but not quite curl stuff going on to a pixie with short bangs and dyeing it all blue and purple!!!!!!!!!! YAS!

Pretty Little Orca! Did you use Manic Panic? I was still able to reach classic length using that.

I got my Tia Dalma necklace today💕

Not sure where to put this so I thought here might be good:
Thanks to Mom helping me with funds I was able to get my first 2 monofins (Finis Foil and Mahina Merfin) ordered. Better yet, I just checked the tracking on the Foil and it should be here Friday! The Merfin should be here Monday! And I'm just really really excited to finally have a monofin. The fabric stores nearby don't have much nylon/spandex which is what I want to use for my first tail I think but I was able to order a bunch of possible swatches from spandexworld and hopefully that'll get here next week!

I love spandex world! But every time I order something they charge me like $20 for shipping to Sacramento!

Took a chance; colored my hair. With my hair goals I have set, coloring is a no no, but I did two stripes to add color to my buns (hah) and I am glad I did.

Very pretty. I had turquoise highlights in my hair when i was in 6th to 7th grade. I really liked it... Might have to convince my mom to let me put rainbow highlights in my hair, but after what happened after I dyed my hair with Splat she probably won't let me.

My first monofin was delivered yesterday!!!! I can't wait until dinner night this Friday when I get to pick it up from my in-laws house. (my husband and I live in a apartment with a shared mailbox so we get everything important delivered to his or my parents house )

I passed my driver's test this morning so I'm now a licensed driver! Maybe now I can go swimming more often! XD

[Mermaid Clara]

Oh my scales! i just did 3 perfect bubble rings in my swimming pool just in the right time before i got water up my nose!

I went to a salon and had it done there, since it had to be bleached. Thankfully, the lady who did it (the only salon worker allowed to touch my hair since she is not scissor happy) said my hair was in such good shape it could survive a whole head bleach and come out still soft. She laughed though since she knew I didn't want that at all.

I believe the brand she used was Paul Mitchelle so that I could get a more London Topaz blue rather than a straight ultramarine.

Went for a second swim in my tail tonight and finally got the dolphin kick!

Everything is coming together for the Mermaid Parade Saturday! Cannibalizing bits from previous costumes and some new stuff, too! I can't wait!

Can't seem to upload a photo so here's a link:

The link didn't work?

[PearlieMae]

I was trying to upload it from my phone - which evidently takes huge photos - and I couldn't crop it down far enough for the forum.

Here's a screenshot...

[MermaidAine]

It's going to look gorgeous on you! Lots of pictures please! I have to attend the parade vicariously through the Internet.

Thanks!

As much as I hate to resort to a non-tail costume, I have to make this a walking tail and I am out of time! The plan is to use my shell bodice from previous parades, a sequin fabric mermaid-style skirt - snug through the hips and flaring out at the bottom, and in lieu of a fluke, an iridescent bustle of sorts that will flare out like hip fins. Lots of seaweed garland to embellish and a shell, pearl, and plant mermaid circlet crown. I can't wait to share photos!

[Keiris]

Sounds like fun Pearlie! I love the shell corset you made! Is that heavy??

[PearlieMae]

Thanks!

It's heavy enough not to be swimmable! It's more like a bib than corset, the front hangs off the bottom of a bra. My back is uncovered except for the strap.

Sooooo... this amuses me greatly.

While intensity in belief or significance may vary:

I was born on a Monday. "Monday's child is faire of face"

in July, making me a Cancer.
(Water/Moon)

I was born in 1992, making my Chinese zodiac animal a Monkey.

Now, the Chinese zodiac also goes in a set of five twelves, for the five elements in addition to the 12 animals.

1992 makes me a Water Monkey.

I am a Mermaid. (Water Monkey)
Whose name means "One whose face is beautiful like the moon" (Monday's child/Cancer)
