Department Of Disbelief: Mermaid School?…

Longtime readers of TWC will know that I have come across a lot of crazy sh*t in the neverending search for interesting, funny Wetass material. And sometimes you hit the jackpot. Folks, today we have hit the jackpot. Because while surfing the web yesterday I came across a website built by a Dutch woman named “Kitty.” The interesting thing about Kitty is that she used to be a, umm, man, or at least a boy. And being a boy was going reasonably well until at the age of 14, when he/now-she saw the movie Splash. Since that moment Kitty was obsessed with becoming a mermaid–not a merman, a mermaid. And thanks to the wonders of modern society, she has become–and I swear I am not making this up–the world’s first transgender half-fish/half woman(?).

Should you too have merperson ambitions, Kitty and her website are there to help. There are pages on training: Part 1 deals with learning the merperson swimming style; and Part 2 covers holding your breath for a really, really long time.

Still with me? And still want to be a merperson? Then click on over to the section on how to make your own mertail. Kitty is nothing if not thorough. So she also has information on underwater wigs and makeup, for achieving that full Darryl Hannah mermaid look, and lots of mermaid links. Okay, I’ve got to stop now. I’m starting to lose touch with reality. And my trident needs polishing…

Confused Kitty: “I’m ready for my close-up now, Mr. DeMille…”

“I’m not strange. I’m just a guy, I mean a girl, with a dream…”
