Brand New Buzz

Although sailors just don’t seem to see mermaids as much as they used to, they’re still around. The notion that the sirens of the sea, who would call to men from the water, and make them have dreams that would drive them crazy out on the open ocean, is one that is both charming and a little curious. Is it really, as some theorize, a hallucination, where manatees are confused with people, because of their size, and their sounds that carry so strangely over distances? Or is it something else entirely, causing the hallucination, born out of some desire to see something seductive on the open waves? Or perhaps it speaks to something else, something much older that remembers something we no longer have access to?

The answers to these questions can run in multiple directions, but the popularity of entertainers like the Miami Mermaids suggests that it’s still pretty strong in the minds of the general population. For that act, there are 2 women and 1 man who dress as mermaids and can entertain at parties, in swimming pools and on land. They were also the winners of a vampire viral video competition, again suggesting that the appetite for myth is still very strong.

It is something that’s much more frequent in places near the ocean, so Miami is the perfect place for popularity of the image. Excellent clubs and five star hotels in Miami are built to make people feel calm and comfortable, and this makes for a fantastic daydreamy atmosphere, when the idea of mermaids sounds perfectly wonderful. There are also cultural myths at work here that contain images of mermaids from a very ancient time. The notion of a goddess that rises out of the waves, bringing out the romance in everyone, is one that goes back thousands of years, and it’s time has not run out, not by a long shot.
