00:00 Eric Montel, a 24 year old merman from Georgia. He's been obsessed with mermaids
00:04 his entire life, and in 2012 he started getting paid to professionally appear as
00:09 a mermaid. I've told a lot of people I eat, sleep, and breathe mermaids, mermen, the
00:15 whole life. It's an everyday thing. He goes by the name Rasta Merman Blix, and
00:21 he gets paid to attend fundraisers, photo shoots, and parties. We found out about
00:25 this because friend of What's Trending, Davey Wavy, actually featured him and
00:29 interviewed him on his channel. His godmother Natasha is the one who makes
00:32 his mermaid tails, and you can buy and rent them on her website. Blix and Davey
00:36 did a whole mermaid merman photo shoot thing, and the pictures are pretty cool.
00:41 Blix was also profiled by BuzzFeed this week, and he said that he wants black
00:46 kids to learn that there's nothing they can't do because of their skin color. So
00:49 if you want to be a mermaid, you can be a mermaid. Let's look at what some people
00:52 are saying in the comments. Alpha Nathan Online says, "If people say there's never
00:57 been a blank, then be the first." And MySania says, "I would be the first
01:01 drowning mermaid if I tried this. I can barely swim with my legs. Don't put me in
01:06 that silicone sack and throw me in a pool." For more trends like this, go to
