burlesque mermaid

Over at the Bombshell Stamps they had a few challenges, one was a sketch and the other was to make a card, layout, altered item,etc inspired by Burlesque. So I combined them!
this is what was said about Burlesque

By the 1880s, the genre had created some rules for defining itself:
* Minimal costuming, often focusing on the female form.
* Sexually suggestive dialogue, dance, plotlines and staging.
* Quick-witted humor laced with puns, but lacking complexity.
* Short routines or sketches with minimal plot cohesion across a show.

so I used a bunch of sparkles and bling, then used some "sexually suggestive dialogue" it says "you only wish you had fins like this!"
