Makings of a Mertailor Eric Ducharme, creator and sole owner of Mertailor LLC, began his journey as “The Mertailor” in 2006. He was just 16 years old and performing as the Prince in Weeki Wachee Springs “The Little Mermaid” show. He had a vision; a passion for mermaids and the mystery surrounding them that could not be quenched. Haus of Mertailor Eric began making his owns tails out of anything he could find. From garbage bags and glue, to masking tape and the sheets off his own bed, it was not uncommon to find him somewhere wearing a mermaid tail. He sewed his first fabric tails with a needle and thread. After a few lessons from his Grandmother, Eric was soon using a sewing machine to sew his tail creations. At the age of nine, Eric attended his first mermaid camp at Weeki Wachee and finally got to swim in the Springs himself. This is where he met former mermaid Barbara Wynns, who gave him his first “real” tail. Barbara helped Eric get him scuba certified, and imparted to him all her secret mermaid knowledge. For years she picked him up after school, and often on the weekends, to take him swimming at the park. They remain very special friends to this day. It wasn’t long before Eric was performing as a merman, whenever and wherever he could, and wearing his own beautiful creations. Eric was only 14 when he started his company making and selling fabric mermaid tails. He called himself “The Mertailor”. Because he was not yet old enough to actually work for Weeki Wachee, he often donated tails to them. Eric continues his business pursuits with the same undying passion that he did as a child. His desire to help mers worldwide accomplish their magical transformations with his realistic and beautiful mermaid tails has never waned. Known worldwide, Eric’s tails are recognized worldwide for their beautiful breathtaking beauty and whimsical designs. As he continues to experiment with new materials and designs Eric says “I won’t stop until my tails look as real as the fish swimming in our ocean reefs. I want to make my tails available to every aspiring mermaid and merman who dream of life in the sea just as I do” Today, at the age of 27, Eric’s list of accomplishments includes magical tail creations he has made for a diverse range of clients from well-known personality Lady Gaga to Queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
