I have discovered my life long goal, and it isn't being rich, famous, successful or a good person (just kidding on the last one) . I want, no I need, to become a mermaid.

Just think about it for a second, swimming super fast, always being in the ocean, helping your sea creature friends...its practically the American Dream, except better.

Celeb fashion photographer Angelina Venturella and amazing underwater photographer Chiara Salomoni have teamed up with the most interesting man in the world, Eric of the Mertailor to capture stunning pictures of "mermaids" to raise awareness AND money to preserve the ocean.

I need to be apart of this and you will too after you see the mind boggling pictures.

Its kind of amazing to see a mermaid out in the open, right by houses! I think thats what I love about this picture. It makes this dream seem a bit more attainable.

Just look at the details on her tail! And the top piece its own work of art! Being able to go to work and be made up to look that outta this world....#goals.

There is something so mystical about his picture. Mermaids have been in folklore for forever, and this picture certainly makes it even more romantic.

Again just look at the TAIL! The Mertailor has found his talent and it is jaw dropping.

I love that project mermaid doesn't just stick with typical mermaid colors. This dark and mysterious mertail is beautiful and completely enchanting.
