Hi
@alonso - I must search it out again !!! thanks for the reminder! I have received a wonderful grab-bag of insights via Netflix
-
My latest one (and I have learnt 'not to binge'!!) is a documentary on the mermaids and mermen of America who make a precarious!! living and a life from following their phantasy of actually floating around in tanks - sometimes with live fish - and learning to handle an artificial and long tail in which their legs are encased, learning to smile - open-eyed - and breathe and blow bubbles from breathing hoses - to entertain a public who watch from beyond the aquarium glass.
These people are weird and whacky but amazing swimmers and athletes as well.
Apparently there are many places in the U.S.A. which have such 'aquarium' shows! It was totally fascinating - and it is quite an art form and there is room for all tastes - and genders - one of the most enthusiastic mermen is a handsome and slinky black guy, who would qualify as''gay', but his obsession is being 'King of the Sea' - and he has some of the best costumes.
Something which was entirely new to me, but of course, the stories of fishy humanoids, all slinky with flowing hair and singing seductive songs from a rock on the Rhine were also part of my childhood fantasies!
Go well
