About Peacocks

With their beautiful green, blue, and yellow feathers that fan out behind them in an impressive display, the proud peacock, while known for its plumage, have very limited flight capabilities. One of the most unique birds, ancient Greek mythology has peacocks as animals sacred to the goddess, Hera. The many "eyes" on the peacock's feathers are a tribute to her hundred-eyed servant Argos, a giant who kept one of Zeus' many mistresses under constant surveillance with his unflinching eyes.

Dressing up as a Peacock

Take a cue from one of Hugh Hefner's Playboy Playmate girlfriends, Holly Madison from "The Girls Next Door" and strut your stuff as a proud peacock! All eyes will be on you and your multitude of "eyes" on your peacock tail with a colorful and daring costume. Short and flirty with a satiny, turquoise blue bodice trimmed with green and gold embellishments and peacock "eyes," the long, train of the costume's skirt doubles as a stand-up peacock tail, adding maximum drama to this eye-popping costume. Create your own beautiful headdress with a Mardi Gras-style Peacock Mask covered in sequins and feathers, or put a few peacock feathers in your hair to garner even more attention with this striking costume.
