Pop Culture Swimsuits

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Shark vs. Mermaids One-Piece is Funny and Sultry

— June 17, 2011 — Special
It has been a long while since I have seen a swimsuit as captivating as the Shark vs. Mermaids one-piece. The swimsuit is an unofficial mash-up of Jaws and The Little Mermaid with a comedic twist that should be pretty obvious.

The shark inching up to eat the mermaid is hilarious -- and surprisingly sexy. Maybe it's the way the suit is worn, but I suddenly find myself wishing that more womens one-pieces were covered in sharks.

Of course the comic appeal of this suit isn't all it's good for. The Shark vs. Mermaids one-piece also is made out of Lycra that offers UV blocking, see-through protection and a cooling system that will keep you from sweating all over the sand. The Shark vs. Mermaids swimsuit is available from Black Milk and sells for $90.
