Growing up I wanted nothing more than to be a mermaid (which I consider weird now because I am deathly afraid of fish and going into water that isn’t chlorinated…but I digress). Ariel was my hero. We had a pool in our backyard and all of the neighbor kids would come over, we’d put the circle rings around our feet, attempt to swim, and play The Little Mermaid. I was also in pageants at that time and my go to talent routine was “Part Of Your World”.

I saw a clip of 20/20 on TheFrisky featuring a woman named Hannah Frasier that had the same childhood dreams as I did…the difference? She carried that dream into adulthood and made it a (semi) reality.

You can ACTUALLY have custom made latex tails, take a mermaid course at “Mermaid Camp”, and transform yourself into a mythical sea creature looking for Prince Eric.

I’m still not sure if I’m freaked out or jealous.
