Bored with the limitations of mermaid life, this mermaid takes matters into her own hands by filleting her tail and de-boning herself to reveal a new pair of legs. Overcome with joy, she is finally able to wear her treasured golden high heeled shoes. At the height of her revelry, she discovers her clam shell for the first time and makes an explosion of pearls burst out!
I've been performing my Mermaid act since 2004.
The act won Most Innovative and 2nd Runner Up at the 2007 Burlesque Hall of Fame / Miss Exotic World competition. The video shows an early version of the act, filmed at the Key West Burlesque Festival. The clam shell masturbation ending was added when the act was brought to The Box in 2013, which was when I added new music-- Baltimore musician, Dan Deacon’s, “Crystal Cat” - the perfect soundtrack for a legendary sea creature to take agency over her life, break free from limitations and celebrate with wild abandon!
