The 19" mermaid overbust ensemble finally being shown in its natural habitat - the gorgeous El Matador State Beach in Malibu, CA. All photos expertly shot by Josh Argyle, who did an amazing job of capturing all the light changes as we went from late afternoon to mid-dusk in less than an hour! *

I was feeling pretty curvy that afternoon, so the corset is laced almost completely closed. Over the corset measurement is not more than 21", probably closer to 20". And check out the shadow I'm casting! *

I was a little nervous about turning my back on the incoming surf - the waves were pretty aggressive. *

Tightening my laces in the surf - the trek down the steep hill to the beach actually self-tightened the laces and I needed to take up a bit of slack when we arrived! *

Making like a barnacle and clinging to a rock face. *

Channelling Theda Bara! *

I love this pose - I feel like a Manet portrait! *

Showing my fins *

I feel very Russ Meyer in this one - if you look at me too long, I might just cut you! *

The sun's gone - time for a sand nap! *
