Ellen Hancock Instagram – In honor of #Merpeople on @netflix (and Little Mermaid too!! It’s mermaid season!!) … a little swim down memory lane. As they say in the Merpeople doc – once a Mer always a mer! 💗🧜🏻‍♀️ Watching this series got me so nostalgic and teary eyed. If you didn’t know…I was actually one of the original mermaids at @divebarsac when they opened in 2010 @divebarmermaids. Back then the mermaid community was much MUCH smaller and even now it strikes me just how lucky and rare and special this job was to have. To say you were a professional mermaid is not common! Lol. I swam at Dive Bar for about two years before venturing on to LA to pursue acting. One of the strangest most magical times in my life ✨✨✨ Much love to my mermaid family and the amazing community of artistic and renegade individuals who identify as mermaids ❤️❤️❤️ You make the world a brighter place ✨💗 #partofyourworld #mermaid #thelittlemermaid #littlemermaid #merpeoplenetflix Under the Sea
