Flippin' Your Fins

So, I always thought it was pretty cool that Ariel gets to flip her fins and hang out in the grotto all day,

But today as I was looking up information about Club 33 (Disneyland's exclusive and very expensive private club),

I came across these pictures:
Mermaid tryouts in the '60's for Disneyland Mermaids at the Submarine Voyage!

I want to be a mermaid for a day!  I can't imagine what you would do all day basking in the sun, but it looks relaxing enough and at least these fishies have some company.  A little girlie chit chat while working on my tan?  I think I could manage.

I guess Disney may have been the first to do this but I know that there are underwater Mermaid shows now.  You can check on out in Vegas, or if you want a real show, go to www.weekiwachee.com.  Simply Amazing.
