Nice place for a dive, no?
Mermaids need open water. While the abundance of smaller mer-friendly venues is appreciated, there’s nothing like stretching your fins in the open sea. Of course, land is precious in Second Life, and mermaiding not popular enough to warrant the dedication of large sims for our aquatic pursuits. (more…)
Lionfish at Last! February 14, 2009

Just a quick note that Tekelili Tantalus has released his newest merfolk avatar, the lionfish! It may be my favorite so far. It comes in male and female versions in a few different shades. The avatar, priced at 650L$ includes an AO, jewelry, and spear and net accessories. Basically, everything you see in the picture here (not mine, by the way—it’s Elysium Eilde’s). Extremely high-quality work and well worth the money, lots of parts to use in making other mer avatar as well.
Mermaid Furniture Rant? February 14, 2009

I recently took the plunge and got myself a larger piece of land on a nice, private SIM. I’ve been slowly constructing a living space for myself—you can see part of my bedroom here.
Now, I’ll admit I’m not much of a fan of the giant-seashell vein of mermaid furniture that I see decorating mer-homes across SL. I guess I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to this, but I see no logical reason why merfolk furniture would parallel human furniture in any way. Merfolk may be humanoid, but the sea is a completely different place from the air, with different materials and different physics governing the environment. I suppose I’ll investigate this as I build more, as it’s difficult for me to find furniture that suits my vision for my living space.
My interest in SL has been wavering a bit lately, but I’ve been exploring mermaiding in other avenues. If you’re curious, I’ll write more about it later.
