Mermaid
I created this mermaid tail in 2008 for professional mermaid Linden Wolbert of Mermaids In Motion. This original tail was used underwater in oceans all over the world for several years before touch ups were needed.

This is a foam latex version of the tail (foam by Mark Viniello) for dry land appearances.
The more comfortable foam latex version. A fraction of the weight of the silicone ones.
