Phoenix Da Costa-Ford, livin’ the mermaid life.
There’s magic in the air, and the sea.
Phoenix Da Costa-Ford — Wolf Mom, master scoreboard operator and all-around mega talent — is embracing a second persona as a bewitching mermaid.
She was in full costume Saturday at “Ye Old Yarrrd Sale” at The Enchanted Beedle, a gift boutique in Coupeville.
Da Costa-Ford and friends were helping raise money for a Renaissance Fair scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend 2024, which will go down at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds and Events Center.
It’ll be the first local Ren Faire in close to a decade.
“I know that for years people on Whidbey have been begging for a Ren Faire,” Da Costa-Ford said. “And we are now underway to making that dream come true!”
While selling mermaid-themed merchandise, she also dressed the part, bringing the magic of the sea alive.
“At the yard sale I met not only excited kids but excited adults as well, who were living out their dream of meeting a real mermaid!” Da Costa-Ford said.
“I had the best time bringing smiles to our Coupeville community and now I know for sure that this is the career for me!”
Da Costa-Ford, who has launched an Instagram page to celebrate her mermaid lifestyle, is available for birthday parties and events as well.
