Medusa
This Easter there is a remake of the movie ‘Clash of the Titans’, I remember I started to read the book of all these Greek gods around 11 or 12….and fell in love with a female monster named Medusa, a very beautiful female turned into a monster because it’s a punishment from a Goddess - Athena, what had Medusa done wrong?…..according to all the myths, stories and the you tube link below …she’s been raped by the Poseidon , Athena was very angry about it and the poor victim Medusa had to take all the blames…..
The reason I like her because she had such a ‘Killer’s Look’ Once you look into her eyes, you will turn into stones…I found it scary, and fascinating….Then in the mid to late 80s, there’s this Italian fashion brand name Gianni Versace who used the image of the Medusa as their brand logo, to me I found all their models either boys or girls looked extremely stunning, and had that ‘Killer’s Look’ , and I just stopped and spent minutes just to look at their window displays like a ‘Stone Man’

I saw that movie during the weekend, it was quite good! But with less meaningful lines when compared to the original!
@CurryPuffy - haha I still have the original DVD with me…..
@agmhkg - That’s a classic! Well, at least the lead actor was bare-chested in the original movie. Everybody was so tightly wrapped in this current one. No Greek bodies to admire about. I want my ticket refund!
I like the way you put it: scary and fascinating. Yes, that’s Medusa!
What is up with the 1980s flashbacks all of a sudden? It is making me feel old! =D
@ND6 - Just watched the new movie on Wed nite….over all ….I prefer the old version more, however the medusa in the new versions looks more Beautiful and Sexy
@christao408 - haha…we were and still are….very young……..
