The underwater performing troupe Circus Siren Pod held auditions during the MerMagic Con gathering in February. A teacher from Tennessee, she’s the first to wash out of the Circus Siren Pod auditions this gray February morning. The event was organized by Circus Siren Pod and a D.C. mermaid group called Metro Merfolk that began about a year ago and has nearly 400 members. So, why bother auditioning for Circus Siren Pod when you’re already running your own mermaid businesses, I ask the fish-tailed crowd. Alba owns Circus Siren Pod and is one of the organizers of MerMagic Con.
