At the advice of a friend, I finally got around to doing something I should have done a long time ago: put my Mermaid's Dream products up for sale on Xstreet (formerly SlExchange). You can find my things by going to Marketplace in Xstreet and viewing Merchants, then digging down to Mare Novi.
I have the "Dream Mer" tails, the latest version of the Mermaid's Dream AO, and some of the gadgets from my vendors. I should make pages for the other things just laying around the store, like the "mernature" and the poseballs. Maybe they'll get more customers online then just waiting for people to wander into the store.

Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz
I ran into a friend sailing her new Flying Fizz 3.0, and after crewing for a few minutes in it, I just had to have one. It seems to sail even more realistically and faster than the Flying Tako(!), which can make it more challenging to navigate. They're for sail -- er, sale -- at the Starboards Yacht Club in Hollywood.
There are several levels of operation, though; so if you just want to sail around, you can put it in "Fun Mode" and not worry about the sail settings and the like. Other levels give you control over the sail trim and tautness, to get the maximum performance out of the boat in races. Your crew, if you have one, doesn't just sit there, but can take an active role in manning the rigging and hanging over the side to help counterbalance the boat when it's well heeled over.
The colors and textures are fully configurable, so I can see I'm going to be spending some time fiddling with the paint job.
Cost is L$1,250, which was a bit more than I expected -- but well worth it!
The wind is freshening, and I hear the Blake Sea calling...

Reverie
Half asleep I hear a voice
Is it only in my mind
Or is it someone calling me someone I failed and left behind
To work it out I let them in
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been
All the devils that disturbed me and the angels that defeated them... somehow
Come together in me now
Face to face I greet the cast
Set in silence we begin
Companions in an empty room I taste their victory and sin
To work it out I let them in
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been
All the devils that disturbed me and the angels that defeated them... somehow
Come together in me now
A tale of beauty and the beast
I defend my soul from those who would accuse me
I share the famine and the feast
I have been the world and felt it turning seen the jester yearning to amuse me
Like a circus on parade
Seldom close enough to see
I wander through an angry crowd and wonder what became of me
To work it out I let them in
All the good guys and the bad guys that I've been
All the devils that disturbed me and the angels that defeated them... somehow
Come together in me now
