This is my brand new soon to be finished mermaid tail. It's made for me by who can also be found on FB here: [link]
Most of my watchers know it has been a long journey to get to this tail. It is made of silicone and fully swimmable. If you aren't one of my watchers, I perform, educate, and volunteer as a mermaid.
Being a mermaid has really taken me places it. With my previous tails I created a literacy program where I help promote literacy to kids. I also perform and speak as an environmental educator on key topics in developmentally appropriate ways for kids.
I put in a lot of charity and pro-bono work to support the causes I do, and I am thankful to also do paid events and birthday parties as well. This has almost become my full time job!
Some of my watchers here, helped me reach this goal. They donated HUNDREDS of dollars to help me replace the first tail I bought that had far too many issues.
So, I just wanted to take a moment and really direct this to those special people who donated and say, thank you. I have been able to bring so much joy, learning, and the love of reading to so many kids in this new magical way. I have learned so much about myself, I have challenged my own short comings, and I'll soon be heading around the world with this thing.
I will always try to be the best 'mermaid me' I can be. I will try really hard to stand true to my values of inspiring kids, educating them, and nurturing their imagination.
