If you haven’t been to SL9B yet.. GO!
SL9B is an event to celebrate the 9th birthday of Second Life.. yes, it’s really been nine years!
Designers, builders, groups, and artists from all across the grid have contributed their builds to help celebrate, and many are giving away FREE stuff to visitors.
I stumbled on the SL9B build from Taliesins Tails designer Caroline Winslet quite by accident. There is a lot to see here, and I opened the map to find the mermaid area (or what I assumed was the mermaid area) by looking for a large expanse of water. Bingo! I teleported over, and quickly came across Taliesins Tails.
Taliesins Tails is probably one of the biggest mer shops on the SL grid; you will find tons of tails in the main shop. At the SL9B celebration, Taliesins Tails has two tails for you to try for free: Two Moons Gift (Black), shown above, and Two Moons Eclipse, shown below.
Pick up these beauties at SL9B, then head on over to the main shop to check out the full collection.

If you love playing a mermaid, but you’re not doing the Crazy hair Hunt.. um.. why the hell aren’t you?
This is a hunt almost made especially for you. There are several hairstyles that are undersea critter themed, and what mer doesn’t love undersea critters? After I posted the awesome style from .{rue}., I decided that it might be interesting to group the rest of the mer-worthy styles in one post.
Wild and crazy Treebee Withnail gives us the Red Herring do, shown above. Take your fishy friends swimming with you, just in case you get hungry and need a quick snack along the way. Pick it up at The U-neek during the Crazy Hair Hunt.
Tekili-li is one of the shops I always stop by first when I need a new mermaid hairstyle. This time around, Tekili-li gives us Hathor in four colours. These styles are fully customisable via script. Type in the part you want changed, and the colour you want it changed to.. and voila! You have a new look!
The colour of Deep Sea Army Hair, from [Circa} is delicious, and you’ll be surrounded by an army of seahorses with the attachment that you can wear.. or not.. as you choose. Worn with one of the Dark Fae skins from Nomine, and jewellery from Finesmith.. Love it!
For the Crazy Hair Hunt, Vanity Hair gives us a sea shell style in a soft shade of purple (what else?). This shell has an assortment of deep sea plant life and critters adorning the front and back, and a tattoo layered hair base in the same soft purple for a seamless look.
Don’t be fooled by the name Spring Briar Fae hair, this style from gilded is absolutely mer-worthy. It’s green it’s wild, and underwater it will look like it’s wildly wave-swept. Green combo hair base/make-up is included, green ears are not.
Massive Overgrowth, shown above, is from *TSM*. This wild style includes several colour versions, as well as a complete set for petites. If you haven’t explored the world of petites, I strongly urge you do do so. I’m planning an upcoming series of blog posts about them.. so stay tuned all of you wannbe tiny mer!
Weather! Or not? has the awesome OctoHair in mesh. This comes in a matte version (shown), and in a shiny version.
phew.. that’s a lot of mer hairstyles! But don’t let this hold you back from wearing other Crazy Hair Hunt styles as a mer.. anything goes in Second Life! Even if you don’t like the “Barbie” look, your avatar is your own personal Barbie doll to dress up and experiment with.. so get out there and have fun!

I’ve raved about the gorgeous mer tails and animations to be found at Club Mermaid in a previous post. If you’re still unconvinced, or missed the previous post, shown below are the newest Group Gift and Lucky Board prizes.
Storm Goddess, shown above is lovely, and includes the interesting clawed hands. I love this detail! A modesty layer is also included, but not shown here. it took me a lot of trips to the club to win this great mer-tail, if you’re not quite so patient, you can also purchase it at Club Mermaid’s Marketplace shop, link is included below for your convenience.
The hairstyle shown in the top photo is from Bizarre Hair.
Mystica Matova has taken on a new project: Up-dos! Although the styles are as quirky as her more usual long styles, those of you who prefer more conventional hairstyles will find plenty to love in these new up-dos. CoCoon, shown below and in the top picture comes with the tiara shown, and the hair itself is fully colour change via script. A hair base layer is included, and the hairstyle can be worn with or without the attractive lock of hair that falls to the side of your face for a softer look.

Nomine, well known for well-made unusual skins has a new line out for mermaids. The skins come in several colour options, and have a feature I love: The tail is painted directly on the skins! That’s right, no more awkward prim pieces, just a long, sleek look from your waist to the tip of your tail.
Each colour comes with two versions, a sparkle version, and what I guess you could call a ‘normal’ version. The sparkle version has the shimmers and highlights you would expect to see with merfolk, while the ‘normal’ skins are perfect not only for mer, but for their land-based fantasy cousins: faeries and elves.
The skins packages are a great deal for your Linden Dollar, for the price you’ll pay at most shops for a skin alone, you get four versions of the skin (sparkle and normal in both tail and no-tail versions), the tail parts (fins), eyes, and some mer animations to get you started.
in the photo above you can see the normal version of the melusine skin, while the sparkle version is shown below.
Hairstyle in the two top photos are from Tekeli-li, in the two bottom photos is shown Eve, from Wasabi pills.
Poses are from Club Mermaid and Diesel Works.
