A REAL-LIFE mermaid has turned her passion for mythical creatures into full-time work. Elle Jimenez or 'Mermaid Elle', from Miami Beach, is a certified full-time professional mermaid and underwater performer. Growing up, Elle was fascinated by mermaids but never thought to invest in the idea until 2016 when she tried on a mermaid’s tail for the first time and dived into a world of magic. Since then, she started working in mermaid entertainment services; underwater performances and offering professional mermaid training. Elle admits that being a mermaid is not as easy as it may look: “Being a mermaid is hard. It takes a lot of work physically. It's also acting. And also this swimming aspect of it, how to swim safely.” Mermaid Elle is also an advocate for ocean conservation and strives to promote awareness on how to protect oceans with her project "Mermaid Elle #SavingTheSeas". She told Truly: “The one thing I love about mermaids is that they just represent this beautiful concept of nature and they protect their home. They protect their pod. I love the empowerment that mermaids represent and the conservation aspect of what a mermaid is. It’s a Mer Maid. It's the servant of the sea.”

This is by far the best episode of Hooked on the Look! She's not delusional, is promoting positive messages, is passionate about the environment, and seemingly has incredibly healthy, loving relationships with her family and friends. The fact that she's stunning is just icing on the cake! I also love how she talks about the education and preparation that goes into her job!

@ananse77 2 года назад

All I can think of is how physically hard her job must be - swimming under water with that heavy fin without any breathing gear, while acting and being beautiful and graceful.

@Lovagechannel 2 года назад

I do this as a hobby and the tail isn't heavy in the water, but it is a bit heavy on land. The tails are designed to have neutral boyancy in the water or even float on their own. The rest is definitely work!

@moonlitskylight5740 Год назад

Her core is strong as hell.

@katiek3396 2 года назад

I adore the fact that she made a point about safety. A few years back when these were popular with kids there were a lot of issues because you really have to be a strong swimmer or train yourself to swim like that. I love it though! How fun would that be to just get to be a professional mermaid! ❤️

@ja.lena.a Год назад

"you really have to be a strong swimmer" Too bad because im getting it anyway :) (I wouldnt swim with a mermaid tail ofc, i cant even float by myself, i'd just be outside lounging)
