Do you believe in Mermaids?

Like most children, I heard stories about mermaids and how these creatures would sing to passing ships enchanting the crew, distracting them from their work and causing the crewmen to walk off a ship's deck or to run their ship aground.

In 1984, I saw the movie "Splash" with Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah and thought " How cool is that". It wasn't until October 16, 2011 that I saw not, one, but two beautiful mermaids lying helplessly on Sunset Beach.

 People along the beach glazed in amazement. Is this real or is it a hoaxs? Neither... it was a great opportunity to be apart of something cool and different. Twenty five year old Model and Mertailor Eric Ducharme is from Crystal River, Florida.

Eric creates mermaid tails from various materials such as silicone, urethanes, and latex rubbers to produce a realistic looking product.

He has supplied tails for Lady Gaga, Walt Disney World, and MTV, Aquarium Denver, Ripley's Believe it or Not Aquarium (Myrtle Beach, SC), Sydney Aquarium Australia and Saturday Night Live just to name a few.

My job was made easy with the help of beautiful models Ashley, Jessica and male models Kendall and Eric.
