It should not come as a surprise to anyone to realize that vintage mermaid costumes can be found in abundance in vintage and costume brick and mortar retail stores as well as all over the Internet at countless online merchant sites which specialize in Halloween products such as costumes and accessories. After all, mermaids have been around for centuries. Well, maybe not the actual mermaids, but certainly the myths, the fables and the legends that have been told and retold by many cultures throughout the world.

Mermaids, the aquatic female beings, are depicted as having women’s upper bodies (torsos and heads with long flowing hair) and a fish’s tails; have been allegedly enchanting men to distraction and thus causing them to drown with their sweetly alluring voices and their enthralling beauty.

Now, what woman would not want to emulate, to copy, to pretend that men (young and old) can easy fall for her exquisite looks and her magical voice? What woman would not want to fantasize being a creature that holds so much power over the opposite sex? What woman would not want to become the reigning princess of the supernatural kingdom beneath the deep blue sea, even if it is only for a brief spell of a few hours?

Therefore, when the occasions permit or encourage stepping out of the world of drudgery and reality and into la-la land — occasions such as Halloween, masquerades, theme parties, parades and so on — women of all ages have been opting to dress in mermaid costumes more often than in any other type of costume. And little girls? Well, little girls like to do what their mommies, aunties and big sisters do. So, little girls also choose mermaid costumes over other kinds, although for different reasons.

Are you looking for vintage plus size mermaid costumes or vintage sexy mermaid costumes?  Are you looking for vintage teen mermaid costumes or vintage girl mermaid costumes?  Well, you’ve come to the right place!

Thus mermaid costumes have become extraordinarily popular. If a woman or a girl wants to look a little different from the rest of the mermaids she may encounter where dressing in costumes is expected, she could look for a vintage costume store, real or virtual. True, vintage mermaid costumes may be a little more pricy but isn’t being unique and looking special worth the extra few dollars? I think it is.

So ladies, stand out in the crowd and put on your special sexy mermaid costume this Halloween and watch the other mermaids turn green with envy and the men turn flushing red because you look so HOT.

To help outfit you with a super special vintage mermaid costume, do take a look at what’s offered at Buy Costumes — the super online costume shop that features a higher selection at extraordinarily reduced prices than anyone else on the net.

Joint the Mermaid Costume Craze for Halloween 2009!

The mermaid costume craze may be a relatively new phenomena as more and more women and girls of all ages are seeking to become the princesses who have been simultaneously revered and feared, glorified and extolled for so many centuries — the princesses who emerged from their kingdoms deep down on the floor of the great big oceans to tempt and lure men to follow them — the beautiful water creatures that mystify and charm.

True, the mermaid costume craze is new but mermaids are not at all. Tales about mermaids and mermaid-like creatures date back into antiquity and the first known stories which were documented in writing stem from the ancient world of 1000 BC in the Near East and more specifically in Assyria. The mermaid craze is by no means limited to costumes (women’s mermaid costumes, infant mermaid costumes, chid mermaid costumes, plus size memaid costumes, sexy mermaid costumes, etc.) although the selection is certain in verging on obsessive proportions. But rather, the mermaid craze extends to:

• Collectors’ Items. Mermaid figurines made of fine china, porcelain, ceramic, blown glass, plastics, carved out of stone or wood and shaped from a variety of metals have become collectors’ items around the world. And some of these mermaid figurines, particularly those which are considered antique, have been gaining quite a bit of monetary value.
• Mythology. Mermaids have been depicted in mythology and folklore of the Greeks, Assyrians, Babylonians and many other others Eastern and Western cultures.
• Literature. Mermaids have been pivotal characters in countless pieces of literature — the most famous among them are “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersen and “The Arabian Nights” (a.k.a. “One Thousand and One Nights”) which is a collection of short stories that were the works of medieval Arabic, Persian, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian authors and was compiled through the centuries.

Even Shakespeare, Yeats, Eliot, Wilde, Barry, and Baum saluted Mermaids in their poetry and prose.

• Art.
  Many great artists and sculptor selected mermaids for their artistic expression and among there are Munch, Waterhouse, Beardsley, Pyle, Magritte, Rubens and Bosch.
• Miscellaneous.
  Through the years, mermaids have also appeared on the coats of arms, carved on furniture, woven into tapestries and so on and on.

Now, is there any wonder why so many more women and girls of all ages prefer girls mermaid costumes than any other type of costume? I think not.

Wherever and whenever there is a Halloween part, a theme bash, a masquerade or a parade; mermaids will appear to wow their beholders, and you too can easily become one of these breathtaking beauties. All you need to do is visit Buy Costumes and be astounded at their huge selection of mermaid costumes.

Be the Littlest Little Mermaid for Halloween 2009!

I suspect that the littlest  little mermaid costumes are selected by the mommies and daddies or their older siblings or aunties and cousins. And why not, after all they are truly too little to be involved in such important decision making. But regardless of who it is that makes such decision, the littlest members of the family deserve to be fitted into the littlest mermaid costumes just like everyone else deserves to be fitted into their own appropriate sizes.

Mermaid costumes have become ever so popular during the past several years. It seems that everybody, or at least every women and girl, wants to escape into the illustrious kingdom that is reining at the bottom of the deep blue seas — the kingdom where mermaids, large and small, young and old, frolic and play amidst sea weed, fish and urchins — the kingdom from where breathtakingly beautiful mermaids emerge long enough to capture the hearts of unsuspecting men with their alluring singing voices — mermaids that can entice otherwise perfectly rational men to follow them back into the depth of the waters.

Well, those are the legends and folklore that talk about magical creatures such as mermaids, and women (young and old, big and small, thin and fat) crave to live that kind of fantasy even if it is only for a brief few hours. Why? Because mermaid costumes can transport them into charmed lands of yonder and to make them all feel, perhaps for the first time in their lives, that they are indeed ravishing. And the littlest members in their little mermaid costume look ever so adorable alongside their escorting older mermaids.

Costume designers from all around the world are scampering about to outdo, outshine and outperform one another in creating new mermaid costumes and renovating old ones. They are all in a mad rush to meet the ever growing demand for the mermaid costumes, from the littlest to the largest.

Just as designers are desperately trying to keep up and beat the competition, so are vendors, especially the online retailers such as those found at Buy Costumes where the selection is tremendous, where the stockrooms are usually filled and the prices are surprising low.

So, before the next Halloween party and the “trick or treat” journey around the neighborhood, before the upcoming masquerade ball and before the approaching annual parade; get yourself a mermaid costume, take a deep breath, close your eyes and “dive” into a world of enchantment and delight and know that you are stunning.

Other fables talk about mermaids who induced men to fall in love and to follow them to their aquatic palaces without any thoughts or considerations to the fact that men cannot breathe under water.

Poets, lyricists and writers wrote about them in their literary works; artists painted them in a wide variety of media; sculptures worked their images into wood, clay, porcelain, stone, bronze and steel. No one seems to be able to resist the charms of a mermaid and in recent years, mermaid figurines have become collectors’ items of substantial monetary value.

This Halloween 2009 Why Not Dress in a Mermaid Costume!

Halloween, my favorite holiday, is right around the corner and preparations are in progress. Some are only in the planning mode while others, the early birds, are already taking action. And there is, oh, so much to do! I, for instance, have already acquired my mermaid costumes for women!

Preparing for Halloween is filled with excitement for the young and the old and the in-between, mainly because everyone gets to live out a fantasy for the day. Trips to pumpkin patches need to be made and the perfect pumpkins need to be selected. And while there, a bunch of photos are taken to commemorate the occasion and to show grandma and grandpa how much we’ve grown in relations to this year’s pumpkins. One pumpkin is relinquished to mom so that she will bake her famous pumpkin pie. Yummy! – The remaining pumpkins will be carved into Jack-o-Lanterns but first dad must dig out the pumpkin carving tools and search through the Internet for cool patterns. – The girls want theirs carved into Mickey Mouse or Cinderella while the boys want monsters and demons.

The entire house is then decorated with cobwebs and spiders, and an assortment of effigies for witches on their brooms, black cats in their attack modes, flying bats, floating ghosts and haunted mentions.

And then comes the part that is most fun for everyone — the costumes. This year the boys want to be supermen and firefighters while dad wants to be a Roman emperor. Mom and the girls want to be mermaids.

So, everyone rushes to dad’s computer and click their way directly to Buy Costumes because they already know that there they will find the largest selection at the most competitive prices.

They find costumes for dad and the boys in record time but mom and the girls take their time to do some earnest shopping as only women can. The mermaid costumes for women are labeled with interesting names such as “Leg Avenue Glittery Mermaid Costume,” “Adult Sexy Mesmerizing Mermaid Costume,” “Sexy Adult Dark Mermaid Costume,” “Deluxe in Character Mermaid Costume,” “Sexy Sequin Mermaid Siren Sea Nymph Halloween Costume,” “Adult Little Mermaid Costume,” “Sea Goddess Elite Mermaid Costume,” “Little Mermaid Costume for Women,” “Adult Women’s Mermaid Costume,” “Ladies Little Mermaid Halloween Costume,” and so on and on and on.

The girls decide that they want to be “Little Mermaids” and so does mom. But dad begs mom to get the “Goddess of the Sea” costume so mom gives in to him, as mom usually does.

Orders for costumes are placed along with a bunch of appropriate accessories and now begins the anxious waiting for the packages to arrive.

Once again, Halloween will be ever so much fun with oodles of excitement and cheer!
