Meet Blix, a
gay guy who wants the world to know his love of mermaids.
Otherwise
known as Eric, he lives in Atlanta and helps his godmother Natasha with her
business making mermaid tales for both men and women.
Floating in
his rainbow tail, he told YouTube star Davey Wavey why he loves being a part of
the mermaid world.
‘Every
mermaid you see has got blonde hair and blue eyes, I’ve even had kids tell me,
“My friends say I can’t be a mermaid because I’m black”, and I’m like no
babydoll, that should make you want to be one!’ he said.
Blix said as a child would
bind his legs in towels and sheets and pretend he had a tail.
'My family
knew I was a mermaid for a very long time.'

‘I eat,
sleep, breathe and shit mermaids,’ Blix added. ‘My family knew I was a mermaid
for a very long time.’
Natasha,
Blix’s godmother, makes the full silicone tails from clay molds.
‘People
thought I was crazy when I started making these, I lost a lot of friends
actually,’ she said.
‘[It’s great
to] just to see my work and how graceful the way they can go in the water in
it. Seeing how happy it makes them, that’s why I do it. That’s why I continue
doing it.’
Blix said it
has even helped his world view, and allows him to escape from his daily life.
‘Being a merman has taught me
to be free, not to care what anyone thinks,’ he said. ‘Be like the ocean, just
be free, and follow your own current.’
Cool! Good for him and thanks for sharing this! Naked hugs!
