“I eat, sleep, breathe and sh*t mermaids. My family knew I was a mermaid for a very long time.”
That’s Blix, aka Eric, a self-identified “gay mermaid” who opens up to Davey Wavey in his latest video.

Blix explains that he’s experienced lots of discrimination in his life, since most people aren’t used to seeing black gay mermaids milling around in their day-to-day lives.
“Every mermaid you see has got blonde hair and blue eyes,” Blix explains. “I’ve even had kids tell me, ‘My friends say I cant be a mermaid because I’m black,’ and I’m like, ‘No babydoll, that should make you want to be one!'”

Later on, Davey Wavey puts on his own mermaid tail to learn more about these misunderstood creatures, which, after watching the video, we suspect we still misunderstand.

Quirky cool. For all people diss Davey Wavey, he has an openness to stuff that is way outside my personal experience. The older he gets, the more mature his presentation seems to be as well. Thanks.

Um yeah, ok. Whatever floats your boat.

I’m not a fan of DW. He has always grated on my nerves. His audience is boy band fans (teen girls) and not men.

How apt. Wet, slimy & stinks..and career is sinking.

@jdboston617: Why is that a problem? Teen girls are the largest consuming market in the world. Good for him.

I thought the best parts of the video were the parts Davey wasn’t in it. He is one strange looking kid. You can’t help but look at him while I am sure he would think he is being cruised.

I am most decidedly NOT a teenage girl. I can’t stand teenage girls. I am a 59-year old bear and I enjoy Davey a great deal. I think he is a positive, open person. He is one of the people I’d love to sit down to dinner with and talk. Thus, his appeal is to men and beyond teenage girls. I don’t have idea if he actually appeals to them, but I think he is very appealing.

I don’t know anything about Davey Wavey; I see his name on sites but had never read anything. I guess I still don’t know anything about him, but he does have a beautiful physique. When he was saying, “Look at my feet!” I was thinking, pan back up to that chest, let me look that torso again.
idk, taste is subjective, but I don’t think he’s strange-looking at all. He’s cute.

When I was 10 I used to cross my legs at the ankles and swim as a mermaid. It was fun, but then I grew up.

Weird world? Good one Queerty. Judge much? Did you call his weird world of open relationships weird? Most of us would, but you go and type what you do.

This guy doesn’t just say that he likes to dress as a mermaid he says he IS a mermaid. There has t be some kind of psychological issues going on there.

@Jack Meoff: “This guy doesn’t just say that he likes to dress as a mermaid he says he IS a mermaid. There has t be some kind of psychological issues going on there.”
The psychological issue is nothing to worry about. For a gay man it is actually easy to figure out. A gay man dresses up in drag and feels like a queen, so he says he is a queen. This guy, clearly a very good swimmer with good taste and one of the best gay moms in the country puts on his hand made mermaid outfit and becomes a mermaid. I walked away from this one with the impression that it was he who was the star of this one (video) all the way around.

@Steven: Funny when I was 10 me and my brother would cross our legs and pretend we had pussies.

MerMEN people. Male merpeople are mermen.
Eric/Blix,the guy in the vid, calls himself a merman therefore we should call him a merman.. not a mermaid.
Tobi
@Lookyloo: I was thinking that until I watched the video, they’re definitely mermaids. 😉

@Baba Booey Fafa Fooey: I didn’t say it was a “problem”. I’d said, I’m not into him because I’m a gay man and not a teenage girl, and therefore don’t find him relevant, but rather annoying. What’s your problem with my opinion? 🙂

Black men getting shot in the street like it’s open season for being the wrong color versus black men not being “accepted” as creatures that don’t even exist. Priorities.
