At the Tidal on Saturday somebody said to me "I wouldn't have had the confidence to come if I hadn't seen all your body positive posts on Instagram" and although a part of me feels sad that people feel wary of whether they will receive respect, love and acceptance based on what their body looks like, another part of me glowed with pride and happiness:- That in a world where people do feel wary of the way they'll be treated if their body doesn't conform to ridiculous and unattainable societal expectations, we are able to offer a place at our mermaiding events where you can feel confident of respect and of being treated like you belong. What your body looks like does not dictate what you are 'allowed' to do. Never let other people tell you you can't be a mermaid! Come mer with Mer-Made!
We aim to provide a wide range of tail sizings. If you are worried about whether we have a tail that will fit you, please drop me a message and I will ensure we have a tail that fits!
I just realised all my body posi stuff and quotes say Sparkleforce: The Mermaid Playground, but the body posi attitude is something that is gonna continue through whatever mermaidy stuff I do, whether it's my old solo business Sparkleforce, or my joint venture with freediving coach Marcus Greatwood as Mer-Made :)
