REAL LIFE MERMAIDS

THERE IS NEVER a dull or dry day in the office when you're a REAL LIFE MERMAID. With their colourful tails and bikini tops, these girls appear to have splashed right out of a Disney movie. The mermaids can be found at Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, Florida, performing in the underwater theatre. Marketing and PR Manager for the park John Athanason, 46, says: 'When I first saw the mermaids performing, I was completely mesmerised. 'They have such an ease under the water, and are able to do a job unlike any other with such effortlessness
