Would You Wear One? Check Out This New Beach Trend!

This has GOT to be one of those trends that's got the media foaming at the mouth, but no one you know is following . . . right?

Supposedly there's a beach trend this summer where women are wearing FULL MERMAID TAILS.

The most popular brand is called 3-Fins, and they were created by a woman in Vancouver, British Columbia named Monika Naumann.  She started making them after she noticed how obsessed her daughter was with mermaids.

The mermaid tails replace regular bikini bottoms . . . you still have to wear a top.  They sell for $245 but, apparently, they're not just for lying around and having people confusedly stare at you . . . you can actually swim in them too.
