Madame Mermaid

Model, Lakea Lawrence, was such a natural for this photo session. In my fashion, I think of The Little Mermaid when I look back on these photos, particularly the scene when the sea witch, Ursula, changed Ariel's mermaid tail into human legs. In this shoot, we see, Lakea, having made her way to land, coming into her graces as a surface dweller, rocking a classic black one piece comparable to a Sports Illustrated model.
