June 28, 2009: Mermaid

Hey look, a mermaid...
not one of those ugly Sea Cows drunken sailors fell for, or an animated Disney character, but a living, breathing, mermaid.
Would I lie to you, my oldest and dearest friends?


if it didn't involve sex or money, anyway.

Nadya Vessey's legs were amputated below the knee when she was a child due to illness. At one point, reports Stuff, a child asked her what happened to her legs and she told him she was a mermaid. The idea stuck with her, so she wrote to Weta Workshop in Wellington, New Zealand, two years ago asking for a mermaid tail. To her surprise, they said they'd do it.
Weta, is a special effects company. Think Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and Chronicles of Narnia.

Nadya Vessey's prosthetic tail is mostly constructed from wetsuit fabric and plastic molds, and covered in a digitally printed sock.
If you want to eat this IOtD, you'll have to peel it first.
