The Rise of Professional Mermaids

While the legend of the mermaid has been around for centuries, the popularity of the mythical mermaid took on a life of its own ever since Disney's The Little Mermaid came out in 1989. It makes sense that the generation that grew up with Ariel would also be the generation to help make professional mermaiding an actual job.

In recent years we've seen a trend of professional mermaids skyrocket. Professional mermaids are people who not only dress up like a mermaid but they are expert swimmers with their mermaid tail and monofin and trained to entertain people while being underwater. According to Aqua Mermaid, professional mermaids are a fun way to bring a unique kind of entertainment to a party or event. In this case they're bringing a unique kind of entertainment to a restaurant in Tennessee.
