Fashion So Twisted Katy Perry Won't Wear It to the Kentucky Derby

Since the photographer did not turn to stone, this probably is not the real Medusa the Gorgon.  She has a very cool hat, tho.

Ed:  she's ready for the Met Gala

Too late for that but the Kentucky Derby comes up soon and it features all the tastelessness which was left over from the fashion horror at the Met.

Welcome to the Derby ... y'all.


Here's the real Medusa the Gorgon:

Contestant No. 1 up there does not such a bad job of it.

Fortunately these are only pictures since the true sight of Medusa will turn anyone to stone.  (WIKI: Medusa)

In a late version of the Medusa myth, related by the Roman poet Ovid (Metamorphoses 4.770), Medusa was originally a ravishingly beautiful maiden, "the jealous aspiration of many suitors," but because Poseidon had raped her in Athena's temple, the enraged Athena transformed Medusa's beautiful hair to serpents and made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn onlookers to stone.  In Ovid's telling, Perseus describes Medusa's punishment by Minerva (Athena) as just and well earned.

In the view of the Rockhouse, Medusa may have had reason to be pissed.  By the way, love the hat.
