yeah Mimi's tail was a year in January I believe, so like a year 5 months. But hers is really simple, we sent my old rapidash fluke (threw out the body) to be recycled. Just a regular tail no fins etc.

Congrats Orca

Has anyone been onto Merbella's facebook page recently? Her website shop is amazing, just pre-ordered a cuff. Makes me one step closer to my dreams for ordering a tail and top from Raven. Thank you

Do you guys pay for your tails as soon as a slot opens or do you pay before the sketches start happening?

I pre ordered the last batch of cuffs I got 1 galaxsea one I'm so excited to get it! Wish I could afford 2 but I'm so happy I could get one. She posted a demo of the galaxsea one in instagram and it looks stunning.

You pay as soon as a slot opens and you are accepted. Once a slot opens up, you have to send a request email with the tagline funds available for them to consider you. It is to my understanding that they're quite specific about the commission's they take. The last two spots that opened up had to give Raven complete creative freedom with the tails.

Today was a cruddy work day and a tropical storm is slamming us, but my day got brighter when I saw that Merbellas still has silicone scale cuffs for sale!!! I was trying to decide between the GalaxSea and Fiji wave. It was a hard decision because I wasn't sure what would match my current tail best as well as my future tail(s), but it came down to me really loving that light blue/silver tail Raven made that was in the Weeki Wachee Calendar:

So I know I've been super quiet recently, that's because I've been waiting to reveal my tail to all you lovely people! I wanted it to be a surprise and I wanted the first time you all got to see it to be the same time I got to see it so... tada! I'd like to introduce you all to my beautiful tail Whimsy <3
