Million Dollar Mermaid

If you know me at all, you'll know I'm a huge history nerd. Every now and again I'll just chuck in some random posts about things that catch my eye...

I just watched a fantastic documentary about Australian swimmer, film star and women's fitness pioneer Annette Kellerman. She did a range of amazing things throughout her career (swam the Channel countless times, was considered the 'most perfect woman in the world', starred in early silent films) and shocked society by being the first woman to wear a skintight bathing suit. Cooooool.

Read about Annette Kellerman here!
