Part of Our World ~ Tail Contest

 My friends have jokingly called me the fairy godmother of the mermaid community, I have big dreams and goals and none of them are about me! One of my biggest dreams is to help new merfolk get their first tail. Unfortunately, I am not a tail maker nor am I made of money to be buying and gifting fabric tails, but when Magic Tail began their design a tail contest, I saw a chance to be able to give at least two tails away! 


The design I submitted was one I was thinking of using on my personal tail created by Thom Shouse of Mermaid Rentals, after much thought I ended up using another of my designs.  I love the Nautilus Tail design and I hoped many others would too and I felt that male or female this design would work.   Over the course of a month and with the help of Talderoy, an amazing pirate who wrote Pirate Santa and hosts charity events from his tattoo shop Studio City Tattoo and who always been good to the mermaids, I won the contest!



A few months later the tails arrived and I got to film my first “unboxing” video of the tails. Nervous about the camera and excited about the tails I dove in…



Now for the fun part….finding homes for the new tails!

  1. I remember when you first posted about the competition to win the tail. (I voted for you and another friend who won third place.) Your tail design is beautiful! The pattern makes it look less like a fabric tail and more like one with texture and scales. :)
