Iconic mermaid model Diane Webber has died. She was 76. Webber became the quintessential mermaid with her starring role in the 1962 film Mermaids of Tiburon. Loren Coleman has an obituary over at Cryptomundo. And don't miss the magnificent scene from Mermaids of Tiburon viewable on YouTube.

I find it outrageous that we would impose our ethnocentric practices on a foreign culture by forcing mermaids to wear seashells bikini tops.

Liberate the merfolks, down with seashells!

Real mermaids should have gills on their chests. How else would they breath?
