Mermaid Chè Monique is a professional mermaid, a DC burlesque performer and the founder of the plus-size apparel company, Society of Fat Mermaids. We chat about mermaid conventions like MerMagicCon, Metro Merfolk and the pleasures of having a mermaid pod, the similarities between burlesque and mermaid life, and the importance of nurturing your fantasy life as an adult.
This episode is brought to you by Candlewick Press, publisher of The Mermaid The Witch and the Sea, the new YA fantasy novel by Maggie Tokuda Hall.
