@@warbler8941yeah but fabric falls apart quickly and you'll end up buying at least 5 fabric tails for one silicone! Plus the fabric tail has around a third of the details! They're great to start with but nothing compares to a silicone tail! Please don't think I'm being snarky because that's not my intention I'm only pointing out the difference between the two and why it's more cost effective and realistic to buy silicone vs fabric but especially if it's a career vs hobby. Because one you work to support while the other is to support you but if you're blessed both can be true 🥰
Yes, a lovely tail that lasts less than a year without nearly the details! Everyone always has a cheaper version but you lay out the best of their tails vs just her's and they're not even close to the same quality and you know it. It's disingenuous and a straw man argument and you'll have to buy at least 5 of their best to equal one silicone tail lol and let's see how many second hand fabric tails you can buy, that holds their value like a silicone tail would! Her tail is worth every single penny especially when you get a side by side of them in the water and the way they move, because there's a reason fabric isn't used for diving! The weight alone makes 90% of the moves they're doing impossible and don't even get me started on the weight of a wet tail, after the water and the wait time for the DaNG thing to dry completely!!! $2000 is beyond fair and priceless when you consider the time you get back from maintenance alone because time is the one thing no amount of money can buy more of so WHY waste the time you have left if you don't have to!?!
@@calinbrown517fabric tails do not last less than a year unless you’re throwing that thing off of a cliff after every time you take it swimming. I have a $30 fin fun tail that has held up for over 6 years now with proper care. Fabric tails are incredibly durable if you actually treat them correctly.
@@princessarialeerA mermaid without an oxygen line is hardly any different then a fursuiter without a cooling vest. Sure, you can preform without those… but it’s going to be risky regardless of how much time you’ve spent without it.
except you can make suits for cheaper, making mermaid suits by hand is more pricey. Coming from a person w a secondhand mermaid costume and a few handmade suits ^^
Never give up! I have several tails most are from finfun and are cheaper tails but with proper care they last! I've had some of my tails for several years and look like I just bought them.
I do mermaiding as a personal hobby, and i can say that a normal tail isn’t that much. Hers is a custom textured one, probably made in a mold to fit her legs. You can get a high quality unprofessional one for 30-100 dollars.
At least as a professional mermaid you can write the tail and accessories off as a business expense. You need the tail to do your job. I want one but will probably start with a fabric tail to learn with. Maybe after awhile I will invest in a nice silicon tail.
Mermaid dreams can be attained! I have several fabric tails. I have several from fin fun that were 120 including a monofin which you can buy once and use with all their tails. I just bought 2 finfolk tails that with taxes and shipping were 415 each hut i saved up for those. You dont have to have a 3k tail to attain beautiful mermaid dreams!!!!!!
So I keep seeing your dark blue mixed with like a purple/pink tail with the little dangly lines with the white balls on the end of the tail, and I would like to know where u got it and how much it costs please 🤗😊
How do you become a professional mermaid? Like i already free dive and scuba dive! And love those! How much? What schooling? And like how do you find the proper professional stuff? And anything else you could tell me! Like im genuinely interested as im just leaving high-school! And it seems like a fun job!
You usually have to buy silicone tails custom made, but finfun and finfolk have relatively cheaper fabric options to learn in. Accessories are also normally custom.
When you buy these things you’re paying for convenience. If you want to make them, go ahead. But some people don’t have the thousands of dollars worth of equipment you need TO make those details and accessories. Nor the skills.
Yes it is pretty expensive. To be a murderer man or a mermaid. I learned a cheaper way of doing it I learned how to make them myself but yes it can be pretty expensive. But if it's something you love to do something that you dreamed of doing for a long time like myself it's worth the price. Plus you can make your money back by performing and shows and showing up at parties❤
I'm glad FinFun exists for us normal people. Charging almost 5000 Dollars for that, is just ridiculous. Even as a professional Mermaid. I wouldn't spend my hard earned money for something like that. I would rather go eat something or pay my taxes.
@@beepybopbap yeah if they are handmade it makes sense the price point it’s just alot most people can barely afford rent let alone that basically need 4000 to make ur costume
@@nathaliedrinkwine3769 well that's why this is a hobby also I believe she works as a mermaid performer aka working under water so she must be paid well
I’m 14 I’ve messed with a few fabrics tails I filed out a order for a custom silicone tail and it is over 2,000,000 dollars I did not pay I don’t have the money but one day I hope I will❤🫶🏾
OK I know you’re never gonna see this and why would I be interested source but a company film the commercial in my pool and because of this I’ve gotten a discount on their products and I’ve learned so you don’t need my discount on the products to get a better price and if you look up a whole bunch of companies, they offer different things for professional mermaids who work in their area so if you find a company that is specific to your area, they might be able to offer you discounts
A few reasons… 1) You’re raised to view mermaids as the embodiment of beauty and magic. 2) They are much more associated with the entertainment industry, thus deemed as a source of income compared to just an expensive hobby. 3) There’s no anonymity which gives you a sense of security. 4) Facial expressions being on full display and makes understanding how the person is feeling without having to ask. 5) Mermaids are pretty much universally loved. Pretty for the boys and a sort of living childhood fantasy for the girls. Meanwhile furries are in large part made up of various groups of outcasts that society had already thrown to the curb. Most furries don’t profit from their love of their fandom, so society deems it a loss.
None of this stuff is even gold, yet you're paying about the same or even more. I mean, you could even buy a diamond with that kind of money, and I am sure you haven't sewn or encrusted any diamonds into it. Lovely costume and idea, but I feel the price is overkill.
She's loaded💀💀
Or she has a good job other than UA-cam those aquariums might lay a good amount
Priorities.
@@bingbingbongbongbingthe mermaid job could be a side gig, but ur idea is an equally reasonable option
*checks bank account. It’s NEGATIVE $$…. no mermaid in this lifetime* 😥💀
Or a business expense or smart saver
You can get a lovely tail from finfolk for under 1000
I doubt it
@@roxyb9211the tail of the month rn is 375. They’re fabric tails so not as costly as silicone but pretty decent looking underwater

It's basically fursuiting in both practice and cost. With the major upside of being watercooled and not a human toaster oven.
It's also more socially acceptable. And can be a job like a mascot
Literally this- girl payed the same amount i did for my full suit
In exchange for being a paid-for open coffin in you’re not well trained enough 😭

Omg! I didnt expect that much for the top!😮
This short made me cry: I want to be a mermaid too🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'd like to know where you buy these accoutrements. I would like to make beautiful ones to sell...The crowns and the necklaces-works of art!🐚
The crown and necklace are beautiful but idk they don't scream mermaid to me. The crown reminds me of bird wings
She called me broke in 9999 languages💀
What is your cheapest mermaid outfit?
there goes my hopes and dreams 😢
Never give up! I have several tails most are from finfun and are cheaper tails but with proper care they last! I've had some of my tails for several years and look like I just bought them.
Skills?
Priceless!
You looks like a queen mermaid 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder it’s so expensive it looks so well made tho ❤ I’m loving this x
I make mermaid crowns and tops. What material is in your crown n r the crystals real crystals
Obsessed with your makeup!
Those things better be made of diamonds if it costs that much 😵💫
This would be a badass villain mermaid look.

Would definitely like more of these vids.
I love the fit girly
I gasped😂 I have a finfun tail saved in my Amazon cart for 44$ so you can imagine my shock when I heard those prices 😅😂❤
Screw my college funds, i'm spending it on THIS.
Where do you get them is the real question! They are so detailed and in good quality!
Compare your most and least expensive sets!! ❤❤
Does it pay enough to make a living. Cause it sounds awesome
from watching some other clips of her, she showed her job is being a mermaid.
@@chesshi8211obviously, but that didn't answer what they asked 😅.
@@chesshi8211lots of jobs don't pay enough to make a living.
Can u pls do ur cheapest mermaid outfit that u would still recommend?
Mertailor for me personally he's got more designs. As far as any of the jewelry goes I could probably make my own...
Beautiful as always ❤

What is the mermaid tail made out of?(the material)
Dragon Skin silicone, skin-safe stuff

See if any local aquariums have mermaid job listings! There may also be local businesses that do mermaid party gigs as well
I want to be a mermaid!! Could I pay you to put together an outfit for me?
Where did you get the tail I’ve been wanting a silicone tail but fin folks aren’t doing any rn
Where are some good places to buy quality tails? Including the really nice tails and accessories like yours?
You usually have to buy silicone tails custom made, but finfun and finfolk have relatively cheaper fabric options to learn in. Accessories are also normally custom.
That all looks super heavy yall are strong
This is why I make my own 🤦♀️

I grew my own
@@asgard5281 you can't grow a tail. Mermaids aren't real
@@asgard5281 grew? dont lose your sense of reality hun.. trust me- ive been there, took me 5 years of therapy to get outta it
Not only is the cost great you also need to be able to swim in real water.
And look real.
I would literally drown in the thing.
As a mermaid otherkin, I would like to thank you , 😭😭😭😭
Guys since she’s dose pro work she’s gonna have better mermaid tails I’d u wanna get a beginner one u can get a fabric one from fin fun
I looked at the comments and saw like no one commenting. Everybody was left speechless.😂
What brand and what tail would you recommend for a first timer
Crikey! How much do you get paid for each gig? I hope it's a lot
Bütün hayallerim suya düştü, cok pahalı 😢

Could you do a review of every tail that you have withe the price?
These ppl are robbing these mermaids 😂😂
What about the webbed mermaid hands?
It mostly depends on what kind of tail you buy, a silicone one, like she has, is indeed around 4000 bucks, i got a normal one, which was 500
For mers on a budget finfun makes beautiful tails for cheap and they last when cared for properly!
AND THAT’S BEFORE MAKEUP AND HAIR CARE
How do you make your makeup waterproof?
Wow
Does anyone know how the makeup stays on and flawless underwater cause I'm extremely intrigued by it lol
Do you have any upper body tattoos that you have to cover
I love those I want one but can’t afford it 😢
What’s the most expensive you own?
Price of your first ever costume
What do you do for a living
girl on fin fun mermaid tails I get that mermaid tail for about $30 total 😭
🥰🥰
GIRLY I CAN BARELY AFFORD A HERSHEYS CHOCOLATE
Worth it! 😊 beautiful
What currency are we talking about?
Do you sale in Zambia 😢😢😊😊😢

Holey seahorses batman 😮
Another thing are the tails silicone or fabric?
Mermaidman or Aquaman(?)*
And it's still cheaper than a fursuit 😭
My dream of being a mermaid is over😭THATS SO MUCH MONEY😞
I can do that top for less than half that and crown and necklace I could create for about 400 however the tail is not in my capacity
And tbc I mean I can create something resembling the crown and necklace and a top as well
Being a mermaid is really expensive 😭😭
I feel like u could get everything a lot cheaper like half the price but they are gorgeous
Not really. Youre paying dor quality in the hobby, especially the tail! Those are all hand made!
@@beepybopbap yeah if they are handmade it makes sense the price point it’s just alot most people can barely afford rent let alone that basically need 4000 to make ur costume
@@nathaliedrinkwine3769 well that's why this is a hobby also I believe she works as a mermaid performer aka working under water so she must be paid well
@@beepybopbap yeah hope she is cause I know that isn’t easy
@@nathaliedrinkwine3769 same here, and sometimes she swims with sharks and stingrays!
But how much do you make back with gigs
Fr cosplay and especially when silicone is involved get so expensive so quickly. My Cyber wasteland costume I built ran me just under 2 grand
I would love to know how much the necklace itself costs, seems far too much for something one could easily make at home
How do you make it look like u breathe under water when I can't see the respirator?
She is a certified free driver. Takes a lot of lessons and practice
Dang you really are a princess
You have royalty money
You need a prince ?
Sooooo expensive
Expensive af
I was thinking about how much I wanna do this... yeah maybe I'll leave that one as a fantasy
So, I decided to look myself. Way too expensive. Never thought that these are highly priced. Truly called me broke in at least 150 languages
I want one...but im broke🥹
Does being a mermaid simply fulfill a fantasy need, or was it something you started and figured out a way to make money from as a professional?
I’m 14 I’ve messed with a few fabrics tails I filed out a order for a custom silicone tail and it is over 2,000,000 dollars I did not pay I don’t have the money but one day I hope I will❤🫶🏾

I did wonder. 😊
i can understand the tail, but ... she couldv'e maid the jewellery herself
I... its like buying a fursuit
And that is why I stick with fabric tails 😢
My word. All that on a hobby?!!
Wow they are quite expensive
I wish she would add where she bought each item. Other wise, this short just comes off as bragging.
Good gosh! That’s a lot of money you must have a big salary for all that
Literally just as expensive as being a furry, more socially acceptable for some reason though...
