One of my career goals was to have a “Tail Man” mermaid tail featured in the pages of “Playboy”. In the early summer of 2001, I was contacted by the Playboy photographer Jarmo Pohjaniemi to create a mermaid tail for “Model of the Year” Heather Christiansen. Heather said that she had always dreamed of being a real mermaid. Needless to say, I was happy to make her dream and mine come true.
