Nadya Vessey's legs were amputated below the knee when she was a young child. A curious boy once asked her why, and she replied that it's because she was a mermaid. The idea stuck with her, and she eventually contacted a famous special effects company if they might make her a prosthetic, realistic mermaid's tail. To her surprise, they said yes. Weta, the company who did work for "Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" made her a custom, fully functional mermaid's tail, complete with an attached suit. It's wonderful to hear about companies that take the time/effort to make people's dreams come true.....especially mermaid dreams.....
