I was able to snag a slightly flawed fabric tail in Finfolk Productions' "Misprint Sale"! In this video, I unbox the tail and try it on for the first time. (Make sure to stick around until the end for a fun little POV clip!)

As a mermaid performer for roughly 7 years and owner of a silicone mermaid tail for nearly that long, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF MERFOLK! You have no idea how happy this makes me.
If you want any tips and tricks on anything mermaid tail, I am delighted to offer any of it to you PLEASE ASK! And again WELCOME CONGRATULATIONS AND IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!
Oh my LANTA you have my dream job!!!! I've always wanted to try mermaid tail swimming 😭 they have a place in Toronto, but I worry I have terrible abs for it :(
I have since retired from doing it professionally for... reasons... But I still adore it as a hobby, and I still highly encourage anyone that wants to give it a try to do so! And the wonderful thing about tail swimming is that it builds your abdominal strength, so if you start just by practicing the dolphin kick, then add a fin like Ginny's got, you'll build up plenty of strength in no time, with very little strain on joints or anything. Like Ginny said;
Don't let your Dreams be Dreams!
@@Mitters I have zero abs but I still swim in a tail :) Don't let that hold you back! :)
DOTTIE! She should come swim with us, yes? Yes? I say SO MUCH YES!
Sorry, just got excited at the thought of mermaiding with Ginny. ;-)
(So the rest of you know, I’m not a random person, just another mermaid.)
@@whisperedaria8832 I THOUROUGHLY agree, my Liz! It would be incredibly fun and amazing to swim with Ginny. I would love to make her a top.
When their fabric tails looks that good their silicone ones must be totally out of this world.
THEY ARE!! They're seriously incredible!!
Finfolk. Check them out in instagram
Oh they are. Finfolk makes the most gorgeous tails I've ever seen.
Oh honey they are absolutely no doubt out of this world!
I own tails! Silicone and fabric and they’re so freaking pretty
“That’s how much I paid, let’s not look at that” is how I respond to every receipt and bank statement I get.
Same
You forgot rule 4: "When buying a mermaid tale, don't drown." I have been a professional lifeguard for half my life and I cannot stress the importance of the not drowning rule. Respect your local lifeguard, don't drown. We hate getting wet.
Also, you make a very lovely mermaid. Tale looks amazing!
Yeah, that did come up in the video.
@@GinnyDi I must have completely missed that. My apologies.
@@JohnWilliams-cr2sz 4:29
“We hate getting wet” why is that so trueeeee
@@bethanymcmullen7429 All lifeguards are secretly witches and are afraid of melting in the water?
I work for Finfolk and on behalf of the whole team, WOW this looks so good on you!!!! We all were so excited to see this video
That is a beautiful tail and your video was great!
Just wanted to say they probably recommend not folding it because storing fabric in a folded state can cause damage to the fibers over long periods of storage (like really long, like museum collections storage long). You can reduce the risk of damage by padding the folded edges with acid free paper that you crinkle and roll into a tube; or by storing it in a completely rolled position around a low acid wooden dowel rapped in acid free paper.
Even if you pad it in a folded position though, you should pull it out and lie it flat for a while and re-fold it in the opposite or a different direction once every year or two, or every time you use it and then return it to storage.
An acid free quilt box can also help keep it out of the sunlight, and you can pack it with those silica packets/stickers like you can find in jerky bags to keep the moisture down and prevent mildew/mold.
...don't put jerky in the box though. That's a bad idea.
>don’t put jerky in the box
SCREW YOU, I DO WHAT I WANT
this vid made me smile the whole way through. Your excitement and joy is contagious ^w^ Love your content and cant wait for the cool pics!
I second that!
There is nothing more inspiring than passionate creativity like this :)
This is the cutest video. I love the josh cameo and his sad “I won’t fit” comment. I’m very hyped for you
I loved the look of worry on Ginny's face when hes says "oh no". Followed by her look into the camera lol
Maybe he can get a merman tail someday.
He definitely needs to get one for himself someday
Oh well, that's the money that I spent. Let's not look at that...
*Yeets across the room*
Same.
Seeing the reaction you gave when you opened it completely validates how much it cost. Also the sports bra kinda worked colour wise with the tail.
You looked so happy :)
Your fiancé coming in was so cute!
Bring it to Dragoncon and swim with us next year!!
I’m a Finfolk mermaid! I got my silicone tail a few years ago (before their prices were even higher 😭) and I’m a professional mermaid now. I had one of their fabric tails as well & I loved it! (Didn’t have time to use it much tho since I use my silicone for gigs, so I rehomed it) so excited for you Ginny! You should definitely do a swimming video sometime in the future!
Amazing that mermaid tail really slaps
The rare Rocky Mountain Mermaid...
My wife, dressed as Professor Trelawney, says she sees a trip to Florida in your future.
Hope those shoots are a mermaid trapping and eating unsuspecting sailors lol
I suggest using Jester teeth with it XD
And that’s exactly what happened lol
Plot twist. A week later finfolk gets in touch offering a sponsorship
I have their Sea Sapphire and Aqua Fairy tail! They were Christmas gifts to myself ❤ Finfolk is amazing. And YES ABOUT THE FLUKES they are just big enough for functioning and aesthetic. Welcome to the Finfolk pod!
Congrats on full filling a dream. Respect for those abs, wasn't expecting to feel lazy watching this one also like how jack is instantly disappointed won't fit into it lol.
"Misprint"
"Hopefully it's perfect"
you laugh, but it WAS PERFECT
@@GinnyDi lucky you!!!
I got a misprint from then as well and they really are perfect
But it was!
Imperfections make it perfect! Nothing natural is perfectly symmetrical!
Oh man, I love the energy that burst out as soon as you saw the tail 😂
I’m just gonna be over here living my mermaid dreams vicariously through you thanks
(all seriousness that tail is HECKIN GORGEOUS and I can’t wait to see underwater stuff!)
oh my goshhh it's so beautiful, it looks so wonderful on you! And your pure joy in this vid is absolutely infectious, this is such a nice experience all around
Oeh Ginny, it would be so awesome if you did a Siren song in the tail. I would listen to that on repeat.
THAT FLUKE IS MAJESTIC 🧜♀️
Beautiful Mermaid tail, while wait for next year warmth how about design a top to match the mermaid tail color that seems light a fantastic idea to past the time.
hope to see mermaid Photo shot of you in your mermaid costume soon Ginny Di as always, keep up the remarkable work. :)
The tail looks so freaking amazing ! 😍 I can't wait to see what you're going to do with it!
I love this video way too much. You are amazing! I’m a Kansas mermaid and I just got my Black Friday Finfolk tail two days ago. So excited for swim season!🧜🏻♀️
That was the cutest video ever, the excitement is contagious ! :)) I'm really happy for you, this tail is absolutely gorgeous 🧜♀️
You remind me of Daryl Hannah in Splash when she’s in the bathtub and pouring a shit ton of salt in the water so she can get her mermaid on, lol! I haven’t watched that movie in forever so guess I gotta go find it somewhere🧜♀️
I was a huge fan of your channel before, but now you own my soul forever!!!! Welcome to the pod.
That’s amazing! I love the colors and the lovely fins and everything. So happy you got it.
LOL!!! I'm so glad to see you so happy and excited, Ginny!
ITS SO PRETTY IVE BEEN FOLLOWING THEM FOR YEARS IM SO HAPPY YOU GOT ONE IM SO EXCITED ROR YOU AH
Welcome to the mermaid community! We're tail sisters! I just got the Andromeda from this line and it is gorgeous!
It looks super cute Ginny!!! I can't wait to see more of it once its warmer!
It looks so amazing! The colors remind me of my last beta fish. The blues and purple, glad you're one step closer to being a mermaid!
(Adds another future investment to my ever-growing list...)
i get your pain, i just ordered a silicone one and my wallet absolutely hates me right now..
Your joy and happiness made my day, I was smiling through the whole video and laughed at the end. You are going to have some fun as a mermaid. :)
Oh my godddddd so awesome!! And that end clip was hilarious
So glad you were able to get the tail! Just gonna live through you rn 😍
Your excitement over this was adorable and I was getting excited FOR you.. lol
Eyyyy congrats on your first tail! Finfolk has absolutely beautiful fabric tails and the community is a really great place to be at times. Remember to know your limit and swim within it!
ur boy wanting to wear the tail is goals i mean now he needs one too LOL
Congratulations on your tail, even if a miss print its gorgeous. You look amazing and your hair matches perfectly.
Oh heck!! This is stunning! Look at you living them dreams. You go Ginny! 😁
I love how supportive Josh is, that was adorable!
As a memwber of the mermaid community I can tell you it's pretty normal to buy tails in off season. Also glad to know you were somewhat familiar with the community, and with monofin use before purchasing. Thank you. 💙💚💜 Congrats on your first tail!
That ending had me rolling! Girl, you rock!
Yeees!!! I have a finfolk fabric tail also! Id suggest getting neoprene socks to go in your monofin, helps keep your feet from getting blisters and makes it a little more comfy
Also its true in the water they loosen up a bit! So you Definatley do want it to be a bit of a tight squeeze the first few times you put it on!
If you havent already a yoga matt or towel at a pool is good to get your tail on so you dont scrape it on the pool deck!
You seriously looked like a kid opening up Christmas presents!! I've been admiring their tails for years and... one day *-* Given I'm in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, so I could get some solid use out of them.
I love the ending bit, haha! It was so funny and little did we know it was foreshadowing for the future . . ..
Girl your hair matches that tail perfect!!
I love your hair color! Perfect for a mermaid. And I absolutely love your Jester videos
Ginny you are just a delight!
That tail is the prettiest colours and so beautifully made!
I was expecting this to be someone who just has a lot of money who saw one and just bought it but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how educated you were on tails before the purchase 😄❤️
Ginny Di as in tails can be pretty costly and some people have never even used one before and go straight into “I bought a mermaid tail! Made out of all silicone!!” But that wasn’t this video at all
Ah, I see what you mean!! Yeah, even if I had an extra $3k floating around for a silicone tail, I would never drop that kind of money on something I hadn't done a lot of research into!! Mermaid tails are not an impulse purchase, haha.
What a gorgeous piece of art!!
Welcome to mermaiding! You'd be surprised how many people there are in the community. Try to find a local pod and go to a swim meetup! The Finfolk Pod Squad is a good place to start!
I've been following mermaiding communities for many years now! Not sure I want to join one, per se, but I'm definitely aware :)
Ginny being so excited about her mermaid tail is so cute, now I want one so bad 💚
this video reignited my mermaid dreams i have always wanted to be a mermaid was obsessed for like 10 years andmy mom and i had a talk and my dreams died i wanted nothing to do with mermaids i didnt want to talk about them i didnt want to be one i didnt want to see my wall stickers or drawings like nothing to do with it. but i saw this video and the biggest part of me came back thank you for posting.
Just bought a finfolk from their black Friday sale and I'm so glad I waited for it to be on sale 😂
Yay, yay, yay! So happy you get to be a mermaid now!!!
I'm so happy for you it's beautiful.. Wish you so well hope you've had some great experiences
Loving this coloring, it looks amazing on u
i have one that looks exactly like it that im ordering... u look like a natural mermaid and that was a complement... a good one! have fun!!
Love that outro!!
Every single aspect of this video was magical... especially the meta bits. ;)
ONE OF US!!!!!!! welcome to the mermaid world I love the finfolk tails so yay!!!!
“Fucking look at it babe!!!” Y’all are so adorable 😂
Wow! I would love to see mermaid shots. Mermaids are amazing.
That was awesome, that ending was hilarious
I had the same problem with my first Finfolk fabric tail as well! Don't worry! It'll stretch out after a good swim in a pool. If it's still too tight, you can always remove the elastic waist band =)
Welcome to the mermaid community!!💗
could build a support system out of cardboard to sandwich it when its dry, and hang it on a wall so it is technically flat..
Welcome to the finfolk club! : D
Absolutely beautiful mermaid tail. I love how you got one that matches your color scheme. Hope you are able to find a top you like to complete the ensemble :)
Loved the ending XD
Made me laugh!
The end cut was so nice haha xD
I loved your three "lessons to take away from this video." ❤❤
I just ordered the exact same one! It shipped today
“Ooooh, that’s how much I spent on it! Let’s *not* look at that number-“
Easily the funniest thing I’ve heard today
Sooo prettyyyy!! Hope you get to photoshoot it soon!
I can't wait to see the underwater shoot!
It goes perfect with your blue hair! :D
Welcome to the Mer Fam!! We are officially tail twins lol
I love it omg I can’t wait
i bought a black iridescent mermaid skirt on Etsy recently for a mermaid costume (siren water demon nymph mermaid thing...) so I’m just here enjoying mermaid content lol
"what does it look like?"
"f UkIN LOOk aT iT babE!"
*gasps*
I mermaid on the side too! I've joined up with a local merpod and make sure to check your area to see if there are other mermaids you can swim with! Because it's a blast.
Ooooh so pretty!
Not sure if Ginny is overly excited to be a mermaid or just the right amount of excited
I bought the andromeda!! Yours is beautiful
Love the end :D
Of course the inevitable question: When do we see the Mermaid Jester video?
yes :)
man, I'm glad you guys love Jester, but I wish you'd let me do things that aren't tied to Critical Role sometimes! I have been passionate about many concepts and fandoms throughout my life and I will continue to be passionate about others. The variety involved in my work is one of the things that makes it fun for me!
@@GinnyDi Didn't mean anything by it was more making a joke. Been a fan since your Not Literally days and love all your stuff. Half of the enjoyment I took from this video was just feeding off of how excited and passionate you were about finally getting something you always wanted. Never lose that passion to do the things you want to do.
When she talked about the fluke and how people swim with tiny flukes I COULD NEVER AGREE MOREEEEE
I just noticed after seeing your mermaid video that you are actually singing the same song at the end here. Nice foreshadowing
Beautiful!
