Wow, you look amazing! What a beautiful costume!

My friend bought some Isis Wings for part of her final project and she brought them in to class and let me wear them and play with them! She got them for a good price too so I am tempted to get my own and try using them with mermaid photos like what Hannah Fraser has done.

I may have gotten commissions today because I wore my "mermaids are real" t-shirt into a restaurant! The hostess and I gushed for a while about mermaids and I showed her some of the tails I made. She took my business email and was really excited and said she also had some friends who would be interested. Not crossing my fingers but was still an exciting moment!

I don't know if they have Renaissance Faires in other states besides TX--so I'm thinking that you are talking about the one in TX.
Do they sell mermaid tails there?

I wouldn't know. I don't live in Texas, I'm in Northern California and going to my local Faire.

They do have Renaissance Faires in other states lol. The Oklahoma one has theirs in May-- and they are looking for mermaids to add to their grotto!!! I want to audition so so badly!!!

**Mermaid Arabella** · 09-13-2016, 02:02 PM

Colorado has one every summer. I've only been once, but it was fun

I (finally) got a new job which means I can start officially saving for my tail. I'm happy

**Mermaid Alea** · 09-20-2016, 09:15 PM

I might get another crack at going to Weeki Wachee. The last time we drove by there they were closed so we did a photoshoot in the parking lot next to the mermaid statues. Then on our way back from our trip that took us past Weeki a huge storm was slowly rolling through with thunder, lightning, and buckets of rain so the park was closed. I got a brochure from the front desk haha. The only time I have been inside Weeki Wachee was when I was a wee little girl and I got to sit on a mermaid's lap for a photo. It was an amazing experience. I really hope I can get in this time.

Today I got to hang out with some amazing mermaids and even got to see an ex H2O tail in person. Oh my god that fluke I am in love.

**Hydra1337** · 09-21-2016, 11:37 AM

It looks beautiful, Mer-Crazy. Out of curiosity who made it?

On another note I FINALLY ordered my first monofin today! I ended up picking the Finis Wave since I have tiny feet. Since I'm still early in the surrogacy I can't use it right when I get it but I shouldn't have to wait longer than a week or two after it gets here next week to be cleared for swimming.

Originally I wanted to get a fabric tail and monofin but my husband and I compromised on getting just the monofin since I plan on making my own tail or buying one down the road.
