Underwater Restaurant staring Mermaids"We had a list of 150 candidates, who we have not even called back", says Chris Ventura, co-owner of the Coral Room, a New York Club where, in a 45,000-liter salt water aquarium, mermaids turn their rounds. Every half-hour a mermaid dives down for three minutes, to corals, reefs and puffer fish. No longer noticing the house sounds in the bar, the bankers and drunks gaze at her as if hallucinating. She becomes one with the water, through which she draws magical arcs. "In the aquarium, I am isolated from the others, I dive into my own dream world," says Julie Atlas Muz, star mermaid and performer. Six permanent water-nymphs and one merman work in the Coral Room; now Ventura wants to expand the team. "I love the water, I shower three times a day" - "Whenever I am in the sea, I imagine I'm the Little Mermaid" - that is how aspiring mermaids apply for work. Many may take a test dive - but not everyone has what it takes to be a mermaid: some collide with fire coral, others ram their heads on the steel girders of the tank. And many are unable to float with grace. This is where Julie's class shows, as the "New York Times" admiringly recognized: "Julie was the first to savvy, that it's not only a matter of simply splashing around."
