Mermaids are known for their aquatic grace, alluring appeal, their beauty, and the fact that we all had a crush on Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Don't deny it! In folklore and mythology, mermaids are ocean creatures with the head and upper body of a human female, with the tail of a fish. Mermaids are, in some cultures, associated with perilous events and natural disasters such as floods, storms, shipwrecks, and drowning. In other cultures they are benevolent and beneficent, bestowing gifts or falling in love with humans. Just to be clear, male mermaids fictionally exist too; they are called "mermen". Sightings of mermaids still exist in the modern-day!
It has been a childhood endeavour for many young girls to be princesses but being a mermaid princess would be the best! Thanks to the help of the
Disney classic animated film of 1989, and other cartoons depicting the magical under-the-sea lifestyle that mermaid is lucky to have, more and more girls are wanting to be mermaids. Who wouldn't want to live underwater, the graceful ocean surrounding your body as you swim your way to the next azure coral reef?
As the hermit crab, Sebastian says, "The human world is a mess".
Here are just a few reasons why being a mermaid is appealing: seashell
bras, no pants, no need to shave your legs, perfect hair (have you seen the locks on mermaids!), living in a sunken ship or underwater castle, swimming would be your mode of transport as well as your exercise (catching 2 fish with 1 hook, so to speak), becoming besties with the sea life, swim away from your problems, and taking naps underwater while taking showers under waterfalls.
