Dads dressing as Mermen in public are fatherhood goals!
In celebration of Father’s Day we wanted to praise all those daddy’s out there who will do almost anything to make their little ones smile, even if it means dressing up as their favourite Disney character in public! History of Father’s Day Father’s Day is celebrated worldwide to acknowledge the contribution fathers and father figures make to the lives of their children. The day, mainly held on the third Sunday in June, celebrates fatherhood and male parenting. It was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd and its first celebration was on the 19th June 1910. Her father, William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised 6 children and Sorona wanted to do something special for him.

Father Daughter Moments Planet Mermaid regularly gets emails from fathers asking if they make mermen costumes just so they can surprise their little ones who are mermaid crazy. Parents looking to create lasting memories with their children can take inspiration from these fathers seen putting a smile on their daughters faces and embracing their love for all things mermaid.

Ginger Spice transforms into Mermaid Spice
Mermaid tails are making waves in the celebrity world, with the likes of Myleene Klass and Britney Spears enjoying a break at the pool wearing their tails. However, our favourite celebrity mermaid is former Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell, who posted a video of her mermaid transformation back in August of this year. She swam beautifully in our Sunset Splash Mermaid Tail and Magic Fin. Geri’s daughter Bluebell must be mermaid obsessed too as she was seen wearing our “Mermaid Off Duty” t-shirt in an Instagram video. Our t-shirts are perfect to pair with our leggings, which will give off mermaid vibes even when you can’t be by the sea. Geri looks at ease in the water and posted about how happy she was to be taking Monty to swimming lessons. Maybe one day we will see all of the Halliwell family dressed head to tail in our products, now that we have our brand new Planet Shark tails for Monty to swim alongside his mum and big sister. The perfect mermaid family!
Working with The Only Way is Essex!
We were just reviewing the work we have done with ITVb and TOWIE over the last 2 summers. It was a truly amazing experience to design and make a custom tail for Bobby Norris for the opening episode of the new season last year. He looked mer-mazing and really wowed the crowds and the media attention was fantastic! We have all the magazines and newspaper articles and really do feel proud to have been part of the show. We loved the fact that Bobby recognized the on trend mermaid movement sweeping the nation back in 2015 "mermaids are so on trend right now". Bobby the wise merman! We were over the moon when the producers contacted us again to ask for more Planet Mermaid pieces for reality TV stars Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green. We supplied our MerPlanet Leggings in Starbright Princess and the Frozen Aqua. Both mermaids looked spectacular and used the Mahina fins purchased from us. They took to the water as professional mermaids! We all do believe that Miss Chloe Meadows really is a mermaid and we loved seeing her mermaid inspired Halloween costume and look forward to helping the fantastic staff and stars of ITVb and other media related opportunities.
