Mermaid
Underwater Nude Models Court Danger
There were two close calls for two of West Palm Beach underwater-nude photographer Todd Essick’s models. Essick was working on a new coffee-table picture book of disrobed women interacting with sea life in the Bahamas last week when his muses bumped into overly friendly reef sharks.
“We push the envelope,” Essick said. “And there are some risks involved.”
One model, 26-year-old San Francisco mermaid Renata Foucre, has 22 puncture wounds on her left foot and a prescription for antibiotics to prove it.
And a colleague, Boca siren Missy Kehoe, found a 6-foot shark entangled in the fishnet costume she wore for her pictorial. That beast found its way out without hurting her.
“I’m not sure I’ll ever do that again,” Foucre said. “The shark definitely clamped down. There are bruises around each puncture wound, lined up from my toes to the ankle.
“I’m lucky he didn’t thrash after he got me.”
Foucre’s mistake, said Nassau shark specialist David Eads, was to wear a flowing nightgown covered in sequins that sparkled like silvery small fry on a clear morning.

Disappearance of the Two Tailed Topless Siren
Starbucks! Few other household names could embody the might of a relentless corporate steamrolling machine better than the world’s largest international chain of coffee shops.
Every working Starbucks opens four new outlets somewhere in the world and hires 200 new employees.
It’s logo can be seen everywhere in every city from San Francisco to Shibuya. There was one instance where I saw three Starbucks stores on three ends of the same casino, then proceeded to buy 4 caramel macchiatos (confession – can’t let two “buy one, get one free” stubs go to waste!)
Starbucks was founded in 1971. The siren logo reflected the spirit of those freewheeling years, Lennon released Imagine, Johnny Cash pens a song called The Man In Black and Don’t Make A Wave Committee changes its name to Greenpeace.
According to Howard Schultz’s book Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time, the name of the company was derived from Moby-Dick, although not in as direct a fashion as many assume. Gordon Bowker liked the name “Pequod” (the ship in the novel), but his creative partner Terry Heckler objected: “No one’s going to drink a cup of Pee-quod!” Heckler suggested “Starbo,” the name of a mining camp on Mount Rainier. Combining the Moby-Dick idea with “Starbo” resulted in the company being named for the Pequod’s first mate, Starbuck.
The company logo is a two-tailed siren. The logo has been streamlined over the years. In the first version, the Starbucks siren had bare breasts and a fully-visible double fish tail. In the second version, her breasts were covered by hair, but her navel was still visible, and the fish tail was cropped slightly. In the current version, her navel and breasts are not visible at all, and only vestiges remain of the fish tails.
The original logo can still be seen on the Starbucks store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market.
At the beginning of September 2006, Starbucks temporarily reintroduced their original brown logo on paper hot beverage cups. Starbucks has stated that this was done to show the company’s heritage from the Pacific Northwest and to celebrate 35 years of business, however the vintage logo has sparked some controversy due to the siren’s bare chest. Recently, an elementary school principal in Kent, Washington was reported as asking teachers to “cover up” the mermaid of the retro cups with a cup sleeve of some kind.
The moral of this cautionary tale? Although you may be a big and relentless economic juggernaut, staying true to your roots can be a hard thing to do in these politically correct times, more so if your biological roots involve a mermaid who’s never heard of this most handy of inventions we call a “bikini”.
Wait ’till the government regulates caffeine!

PS – Looking at the trends as of late, the siren logo itself may be in the early stages of being phased out altogether, to be replaced by some abstract soulless thingamajigger!
“Lately I’ve stopped seeing pictures of the Siren on Starbucks mugs – they seem to favor just the word “Starbucks”. I also started seeing the new type of the siren as part of store decoration and on coffee packaging. She only has one tail. I guess the family-unfriendly image of a fish-woman spreading her tails is on its way out. – Deadprogrammer.com“
With This Herring I Thee Wed – British Girl Marries Dolphin
British woman ‘marries’ dolphin, tying the net after 15-year courtship
JERUSALEM – Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. This week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky “guy” plunged right back.
In a modest ceremony at Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world’s first person to “marry” a dolphin.
Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring.
“It’s not a perverted thing. I do love this dolphin. He’s the love of my life,” she said Saturday, upon her return to London.
Tendler, who said she imports clothes and promotes rock bands in England, has visited Israel several times a year since first meeting the dolphin.
When asked in the past if she had a boyfriend, she would always reply, “No. I’m going to end up with Cindy.” On Wednesday, she made it official, sort of. While she acknowledged the “wedding” had no legal bearing she did say it reflected her deep feelings toward the bottlenosed, 35-year-old object of her affection.
“It’s not a bad thing. It’s just something that we did because I love him, but not in the way that you love a man. It’s just a pure love that I have for this animal,” she said.
While she still kept open the option of “marrying human” at some stage, she said for now she was strictly a “one-dolphin woman.”
She’s hardly the jealous type, though.
“He will still play with all the other girls there,” she said, of their prenuptial agreement. “I hope he has a lot of baby dolphins with the other dolphins. The more dolphins the better.”
