Famous Mers

Now, look, if I out every major Mer singer, actor, aristocrat, politician, and business tycoon in the world, the Council will fine me for blabbing and, worse, Elton John will never invite me to another of his Tinseltown Oscar bashes again. But I can name-drop a few names. I’m not saying the following were or currently are hiding a set of webbed toes, I’m just, hmmm, saying that they, hmmm, could be. That is, they fit the typical Mer profile: gorgeous, rich, talented, charismatic, etc. If you believe some celebrities are born able to tread water even in a hurricane, doesn’t it explain a lot?

I could name dozens more. But not without a Mer lawyer to fend off the complaints.

Mer people, in case you're speculating, are magnificently built but not skeletal, to say the least. We not only love spending inordinate amounts of time underwater, we aren't much affected by even the iciest water temps. That kind of talent requires a lovely, softly dense layer of fat beneath our perfect skin--it's quite the scientific marvel, not that we ever allow Landers to cop a peek at the cell structure under their microscopes. At any rate, we are lusciously endowed in more ways than one, and while we may pout to dangerous excess, we never look gaunt when we do it.
