Colourful tails and shell bras of attendees cost up to a whooping £2,500 ($4000) as they took workshops on underwater modelling; how to hold their breath, and swam with Hannah Fraser, a professional mermaid and environmental activist.
If you are dreaming of being a Mermaid since your childhood after seeing a movie, reading a book, going to the beach or an aquarium., a day at the annual Merfest convention can make that dream come throug. Mind you putting on a tail requires a lot of effort, but no fear for there would be mertender to assist you in an out of their tails at poolside; even use a lubricant like coconut oil if need be.
Speaking at the Merfest, Sean Norman, a mertender, said that the act of getting your scales on is anything but glamorous.
"It's tricky getting some of these tails on. They're kind of grippy on the skin and it's an awkward situation. You can't look graceful getting into these things, so what I try to do is just help out a little bit and ease that moment of frustration so you can get to the fun part.' Sean said
This year's Merfest convention also saw the first wedding - between Cookie Ramirez and her mertender, Ralph de Jesus.
You can tell how their fellow mermaid and mertender well-wishers congratulated them - they splashed their tails to as the happy couple kissed to seal the matrimony. (view more pics after the cut..)
