A Real Life Mermaid Double amputee Nadya Vessey is about to become New Zealand's first mermaid. Thanks to the awesome generosity of Weta Workshop.

Nadya also has a more detailed profile. Another photo here.

  • I understand she's also changing her name to Ariel
  • I'm still waiting for my boytaur.
  • Put me down for a slutmera. 50% slut + 50% goat = 100% good times.
  • No, she's changing her name to EEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! /Splash
  • So petebest, Hank Mabuse, and quidnunc were all walking down a country road together, when they came upon a goat with its head stuck in a fence. petebest said, "Boy, I wish that were Scarlett Johannson, I know what I'd do." Hank Mabuse said, "Boy, I wish that were Christina Aguilera, I know what I'd do." quidnunc said, "Boy. I wish it were dark."
  • Dear WETA, Please make me some functioning wings so I can be a flying monkey. Thanks. Monkeylion
  • How disgusting, middleclasstool. I hope that you will never again deign to inscribe such utter filth upon this hitherto completely innocent website. If I were tracicle I would immediately resign and hand over to me the power to discipline you for your uncouthness and the goat lube for Hank. Thanks.
  • Monkeyfilter: uncouthness and goat lube
  • quidnunc for prestidigitator!
  • Way cool. Upon reading Weta Workshop I toing to be for some film. Good to see technology really helping someone fulfill their dreams. So petebest, Hank Mabuse, and quidnunc were all walking down a country road together, Now that's the stuff of nightmares. 'You're walking alone down a deserted road, when you see three figures approach...' *spooky music starts*
  • Upon reading Weta Workshop I [tought it was going] to be for some film.
  • I'm thinking that this will NOT End Well. I'm glad for Nadya, and I think it's a neat idea for people actually needing a prosthetic device for exercise, but there's a core of weirdos out there that I'm thinkin' will glom onto this and actually want a tail or a set of wings. There are strange folk that actually amputate part of themselves, and I can see someone wanting to replace a perfectly functional arm or leg or set of lips with tentacles or a claw. Folks is weird. I discovered that on the 'net. Kinn: You have posted one of the Great Taglines of all time *pouts

  • Amputation and prostethics, hey, that's just obvious. People will follow their urges no matter what, and there's little that can be done to stop them. I worry for the day when Sony's My First DNA Splicer appears on Walmart. That's when things will get interesting.
  • And I live for that day! 'Cept I don't shop at WalMart. Maybe I can buy mine on Amazon.
  • Folowup with awesome pic.
  • Amazing. I'm not a water-lover, but I could almost want.
