I'm chuckling after my conversation with tail-maker Eric Ducharme (themertailor.com) earlier today. Our tongue-in-cheek color banter went from "Red Sea" to "Maroon Magenta Sherbert" to "Wild Cherry."

The model is, of course, Kristi Sherk. She's no stranger to these pages, cover and centerfold model for the premier issue of Mermaids & Mythology magazine, principal female model for the Hasselblad 60 megapixel digital back product launch shoot and others.
