So my mermaid tail came! I can legitimately say, "I am a mermaid" with no hesitation. BEST FEELING EVER. I'm a mermaid. For reals. Awesome. I haven't gone swimming in it yet, last night I had a girl's night so I couldn't go (I did throw on my tail though for twenty minutes before I had to leave however, needed some pictures), and today I'll go to the beach I think, I hope, I really really want to swim. It's made out of silicone, and is silver, green, purple, blue, and pink at the tips.
There are no side seams which is pretty cool. This was a prototype tail, so there are a few spots that need to be touched up, so she'll do that in the future (that way I can get my tattoos without itching to go into the water with my tail (with new tattoos you can't swim for two weeks). But it's amazing, and beautiful, highly awkward to try to move in, you should see me rolling, it's hilarious. But Jeremy was a saint and helped me get it on and off. My mertop is being sent on Monday, so should be here for my party next weekend, and hopefully I have a photoshoot this week! My merman friend and I are going swimming on Wednesday, so I'm pretty stoked about that, and nervous. He's been swimming longer than I have, so I'll pry be eating his bubbles, but I think he'll be nice and not leave me floundering.
I've been working my tail off this week to start booking gigs and events, and emailed a lady I've looked up to for a while named Amy, she's a tattoo artist here in Hawaii who does lovely work, and I have a feeling will do many of my future tattoos, and also does photography, so I asked her if she wanted to do a mermaid shoot, and she said yes, so I'm excited to see how that comes together! I also emailed Mermaid Kariel about becoming a merbabe, so we'll see her response on that. Today is pretty busy, Jer is doing his advanced underwater scuba cert. I was going to, but I need more practice before going to the next level, plus there is a silent auction today that I'm working at with the Spouses Club. That's about it here on the island of loveliness, it's breezy out today, but still nice, I think Jeremy had his first realization of no snow yesterday, poor guy, I think a trip to the beach will make him feel better. :-)
Well, that's all for now, I'll post a video of me swimming soon! I need to go get an underwater camera! It's about to get real!
Tides of thanks to everyone who has supported me and loved me through my mermaid dream. I can't believe it's actually a reality. Wow, I have the best family and friends ever,
Love,
Mermaid Harmony
