[gabbygal73]

Is there any way you can get in touch with me through email? my mail is gabby.s073@gmail.com

I would love to be in convo with you

[gabbygal73]

Hey Hannah! You inspired me so much. I love what you do. You are so beautiful underwater. I only wish I knew exactly how you DO that. Any ideas on how to train for your awesom underwater skills, let me know.

[hannahfraser]

@gabbygal73 ,

Yoga, breathwork, cardiovascular, kundalini yoga breathing practise, meditation, swimming practice practice, practice! :)

[gabbygal73]

@hannahfraser Thanks so much! I am literally smiling that i am actually talking to you, even though through youtube. I recently started stalking you on facebook :P oh my goodness oh my goodness. hello! :)

[gabbygal73]

@hannahfraser I am heading to Florida on Thursday, so swimming practice will indeed be done. I have been stretching every night, working abs, breathing deeply. Not sure exactly what to do, but google is a very reliable source. You are my inspiration! I want to do what you do if i ever get the chance

[gabbygal73]

@hannahfraser what kind of breathwork? and cardiovascular. I am still fairly young, not familiar with those terms. Kundalini yoga breathing practice? and what kind of meditation. Please fill me in on these facts. and does yoga on wii fit count? aha

[DJSICKASSZ24]

are they real mermaids

[trinicxxx]

You are welcome ...in Cebu Hannah come back to the Philippines...

You"re Beautiful Great...

[killersamz]

[showjumperluvr4]

[pandaluv07]

Hannah Fraser,

You are my role model! i love everything u do as a mermaid

[vouaher]

who's the background music's composer?

[sprklysda]

My mum was born in Cebu Phillipines!! I am a massive fan of yours,I really wish that I could be like you when I'm older.I think it's great that you're trying to save marine wildlife and now lots of my friends at school beleive in mermaids thanks to you!! You are my idol!! I can hold my breath for 1 minute and 1 second...I'm a Hannah Fraser traniee!! It would be my dream to swim with you!! All my love from England.... Love a 10 yearold mermaid !!! :D

[Mermaidromy]

cool !!!

[xXkyrstynXx]

if ur in like ocean water how come u dont have goggles?

[hannahfraser]

Because goggles would'nt look very realistic for a mermaid.

[xXkyrstynXx]

@hannahfraser duznt it burn ur eyes? i live in florida and i can open my eyes in any type of water like a pool and a lake but it burns my eyes in the ocean.

[crypticsacrifice]

Hannah, Im not sure if you read all your comments, but I was just wondering. Were you ever afraid of getting attacked or eaten by a shark? And if you were, how did you overcome that fear?

[TyleePii]

@crypticsacrifice Sharks only attack if you interfere

[hannahfraser]

I recently swam with 14 ft great white sharks without a cage.

I was petrified for 2 weeks leading up to the trip. It was scary, but they are also beautiful. They are not mindless killing machines. They generally can tell the difference between humans and fish, and we are not on their menu.. however, they are curious, and if they want to 'touch' you, all they have are their teeth!

Actually swimming with them took away a lot of fear of the unknown.

[Skyptonian]

@crypticsacrifice no shark in Cebu, There"s a lot of Dolphin, shark afraid of dolphin and the dolphin like to near human they are friendly.,

[tashz98]

where did u get the tail from ??

[4everhorserider]

you are a beautiful mermaid.

:)

[sportacuslove]

mermaid hannah is my idol i love her!!!!!!!!!!!

[cucmberflower]

where can i buy a pretty mermaid tail like those?

I look online but they always haave ugly ones only

[hannahfraser]

buy one from online and decorate it yourself.

[planetdance233]

@hannahfraser what would be a good site to purchase one from?

[pauladulruna]

I love it!!! awesome

[LoveAnimeFreaker]

wow they swim like real mermaids

[crypticsacrifice]

There are some divers there to take the photos and some have breaking/oxygen tanks so when the girls need air they just put the nossel thing in their mouths and breathe!

[shellbell1712]

i'd like to know how they can stay under water so long. are they trained to hold their breath for longer periods of time?

[PanceApplegate]

she snt under that long. it is edited togther so it looks like it tho.

[tmvebb]

drops of milk help with getting rid of the sting (put drops of milk in ur eyes ppl!!)

[Gan596]

He/She speaks the truth! Seriously, it works!

[tmvebb]

xD and btw im a she lol xD and nxt timee ur in the ocean i encourage anyone who doesnt have goggles to use milk, it helps!

[efilvega]

well cebu city is my hometown but i see it already

[agimatislandboi]

how can they have their eyes open?

it hurts..

[lovelymadam]

i ALWAYS have my eyes opened underwater. it dosnt hurt for me =)

[PanceApplegate]

me neither!!

[hannahfraser]

some oceans have a higher salt content than others. Swimming in Mallorca was nearly intolerable for my eyes, and I have never had a problem with salt sting before.

[SarahLee1]

Meh, it depends on the person. Everyone can get accustomed to opening their eyes in the water, though chlorine may be a bit harsh. I can't open my eyes in water personally, but I know many others that can.

[sashi62]

hannah so sexy with the silvel tail,

[loverjackson1342]

how can you see under the water in the ocean

[lovelymadam]

it is blury but u can still see things underwater like stingrays and fish. when i went swimming underwater with no goggles and my eyes opened i saw a stingray. very handy! lol.

[lovelymadam]

hannah has said she spent $1000 on special contacts lenses to see underwater and they're 80% better than goggles. BUT the problem is after 5 mins they fall out so yer. BYE xxx

[hannahfraser]

@lovelymadam those lenses are not 80% better than goggles.. they are about 80% as good as goggles. And yes, they do fall out. :(

[golfmapleleaf]

Hi hannah! I love your tails! I was wondering if you would be willing to answer my question about the tail you're wearing. I am currently making my second tail, and this is about the eleventh month into the whole process, so I'm trying to get as much info as possible. Could you please tell me what paint you used on your tail? I haven't seen this tail much, except for in your pictures. Thanks!

[hannahfraser]

this tail was made from neoprene with a silver coating. It looked great when it was new, but the silver coating came off quickly, and it was impossible to paint or glue anything to the tail.

[koolkatjadegirl02]

@hannahfraser How much does it cost to make a high quality stable tail?

[waterwitch15]

who's the other mermaid?

[vidawithme]

i think its hannahs sis. her name is jasmine...i think

[hannahfraser]

Tae Allison, a model from New Zealand.

[xxAlicexxHannxx]

@hannahfraser Have you or Tae Allison ever done any swimming in australia? There is that footage of a mermaid on the internet and I was just thinking the tails both look similar

[bbhotpink10]

i think this is really cool.

[mermaidolena]

eyes i meant

[mermaidolena]

what makeup are you wearing around your eyey??

[hannahfraser]

Ere Perez organic natural waterproof mascara made from almond oil.

[Roxettna]

i lov this video of hannah mermaid she swims so graceful with her friend

[Dancedavil555]

Yooo

soo cool

can u make a vid thats shows u making the tails?

[mermaidjordan]

i think your tails are so so so so cool

[metalbitchdog]

i grew up in bogo cebu. its really beautiful there! But i didn't reach that deep..

[nessi96]

If Hannah ever did make tails exactly like hers that were sellable, they'd cost in the thousands due to the work that was put into them.

[ilovetimmymilner]

you make them out of wet suit i have one then you but some material the one you can get wet the swimable one i dunno wot its called my dad baught it then after he made the wet suit bit he put the material over it and walla u got a mermaid tail

[HannahFanKyr]

[tokyo3457]

[budubum]

[syncstarox]

Heyy, can anyone tell me if i can buy one of these tails.. because i really beleive in mermaids after watching every episode of h20 just add water and i want to be a marine bioligist when im older to discover one. But i would really love one of my own as i can swim like mermaids. xx

[mermaidluver155]

[dremangel]

wow so nice of you of you been swimming here in my place in cebu i wish i can be a mermaid swimmer like you you really are really good.....

[hannahfraser]

[tipatipatipatutu]

is it funny to swim with a mermaind tail ??

[mrcsuz]

is this real or fake?

[TheRhuen]

their models. the video tells this.

besides you can buy that type of flipper suit. All videos you see on youtube of mermaids even those taken by people who didn't know what it was were just people wearing these single flipper suits.

[VanginO]

Were the heck can i get a mermaid soute ?!

I want one really bad

[littapinay4305]

theres:

themertailor(.)com

merfolktails(.)com

other than that, you can make your own :3

[hottness411]

how do you get your tail to look so real?

[skullspazz]

I will forever be jelous of you XD awsome vidy

[Bummop]

Hey you better be careful in Cebu, thats where they have real mermaids.

[vickylynne]

I have another question... I'm thinking about buying a thin sheet of Polyethlene Plastic for my tail. The sellers say it's light, durable and flexible. Do you know anything about this type of plastic or other products that would do? I know it's a shot in the dark, but any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks :)

[hannahfraser]

Yes, I have made my tail flukes from polyethelene previously. It works beautifully!

[poisonTeddy]

The love you've got for the sea shine brightly in you. thanks for the enchantment.

[silkmint]

i live in cebu!

[Imviss]

Mermaids wear sweaters, it's cold in the ocean... I should know, I am one!

[pasofinolover190]

hannah..you are so beautiful. i am going to make a tail very very soon, im going to get fabric tomorrow.  keep it beautiful!

[AquaRibbon]

How are you going to make a tail?!?!?

I want to make one SOOOO bad!

[1pr1nces1]

I would kill to swim like a mermaid but I have 2 problems I don't have a tail and no place to try it on :(

[henkeochalex1]

i mean not shirts i mean like braw

[hannahfraser]

If you see my website hannahfraser (dot com) you will see the new photos show the new style of top.. it is just scales stuck onto the skin, like a real mermaid.

[henkeochalex1]

why did the mermaids wear shirts?

[hannahfraser]

censorship laws :(

[ramfersean]

hi hannah i am from mactan in cebu and i have been to your beautiful byron bay in nsw! love it! cheers darling! you are so graceful i wish to be a mermaid like you!

[xLookAtMoi]

where is Cebu???? who was the other girl swimmign with you?? where you born in byron bay??

[hannahfraser]

Cebu is an island in the Philippines,, near Manilla.

THe other girl was a model who I allowed to wear my spare tail. Her name is Tae Allison.

I was not born in Byron, but have been here for 13 years.

[Sevena878]

That place is so beautiful!

I saw a lot of pictures of Wategos and Kandui beaches too!

Maybe I can go to these places in the future.

[claudia0087]

[alnoof77]

[fanclubzone]

Hi there hannah, great video. Can I know how do i get a copy of this on DVD? It will look awesome against my 42" plasma.. for my upcoming party.

[olidanfil]

ace tail! it looked soooo real you could swear it was lol how you make it?

[laniampoon]

how did you breathe long under the water?

[seanbrown13]

THe silver tail looks SO REAL. What fabric did you use to make the tail?

THanks

[hannahfraser]

silver coated neoprene. looks great.. its really stretchy.. but the silver is very fragile.. its like a film over the neoprene and rubs off after a while...especially on sand or rocks.

[seanbrown13]

What type of make up do you use underwater?

[hannahfraser]

normal makeup, except almond oil based mascara.. all natural and waterproof so it doesnt run and doesnt irritate the eyes.

[seanbrown13]

I'd swear you were the real thing.

Please e-mail me your secrets of tail construction.  Your tail is the best I've seen to date.

Thank you.

[batoto2007]

Hannah, thanks for visiting our country. I hope you enjoyed your stay here. You're so graceful.

[hannahfraser]

thanks so much for your kind welcome!

[lincmela]

Lovely and mystic. What is the name of the song?

[hannahfraser]

I'm sorry, I dont know the name of the music for this clip.

[alina831]

[ravenofthenight666]

what is this song?

[JuicyBananaa]

oh my goodness, that would would be fun to do :)

[FeonaTenna]

cool i'm from cebu

[Hendo56]

Those tails don't weigh you down? They look real!

[PyroRacer]

Nice, was that in mactan? Where can I see that short film? I currently live in cebu.

[star565678]

This is amazing, the tails look so real, I get my tails from Merfolk Tails they have some nice ones, but nothing like those :)

[malonbu]

Whow! That was amasing! O_O I was almost fooled. :P

[kagomerox10121]

could have fooled me :) they look real to me hee hee

[NatG22]

How do you manage to open your eyes under the sea for such a long time? I get one wave in my face and the salt stings my eyes!

[hannahfraser]

If you just open your eyes for a little while under the water they adjust to the salt and stop stinging. It is actually cleansing and quite good for your eyes and throat to wash them out with salt water! However, after staying down for hours on end, I must admit I end up red eyed and bleary! HANNAH

[charzarg]

I heard that if you drop milk into your eyes, it works as a sort of coverage, Have you ever tried that, I personally haven't so I don't know if it works or not.

Beautiful tail by the way :)

[hannahfraser]

I havent heard that one before.. I dont really suffer from the salt water, but I may try it for pool chlorine work in the future and see if it works!

[charzarg]

ok :D

I hope it works... :P

Let me know if you try it :P

[mermaidz19]

hey, did eric ducharme make ur tail? i's really cool and i've been looking 4 a less expensive 1 then the 1 i've found. cool vid! keep up the good work.

[hannahfraser]

No, I make all my own tails. They are not inexpensive...

good luck finding what you are after! HANNAH

[mermaidz19]

how do you make them? if you don't mind me asking. they're really cool.

[hannahfraser]

It's a fairly involved process.. the simple story is Polyurothane, silicone, neoprene, booties, liquid nails, floor runner plastic, fabric paint and lots of time! HANNAH

[mermaidz19]

but how do you make the mold of the tail? it must be fairly complicated. thanks!

[hannahfraser]

It is not moulded. That's all I would like to share on how I make my tails publicly. Thanks so much for your interest. Best wishes, Hannah

[JessieSimone1]

Awesome give me a tail.

[merman4]

awesome!! I can do stuff liek that too but not as fluently as you. cool tails too!! what are they made out of. the mertailor eric ducharme says they are neoprene? were you in the short film heart's atlantis? please respond!! thanks -Johnny

[hannahfraser]

yes, my tails are made with neoprene. And yes, I am in the short film Hearts Atlantis! Thanks for the comments.. Hannah
