Dancing to awaken her babies...

October 2nd, a day that for some reason this year although monstrous should be a little bit of a ladylike, girlie kinda day... Now there are lots and lots of pretty monsters we could have gone for, especially these days considering how much of a Monster High fan I am since I first discovered it, but one always stands out to me... Her story of a broken heart, and her magical abilities and the anger that she must have felt at his betrayal, it's a story that is sad but beautiful, and definitely a reason that this gorgon is one of my favourite monsters... 

Standing in the temple, her home away from home, where the flowers are growing to cover the statues of her fallen lovers she dances in the breeze of the petals... Now that she's free, for the Halloween festivities, she's going to make sure she can dance in the sunshine, before she heads back into the dark... Her glittering scales sparkling in the setting sunlight, while the snakes of her hair are slowly starting to awaken... 
On a random side note, and because I'm useless as much as I LOVE my medusa look, the ENTIRE reason that I was inspired to become her today is so small you will need a magnifying glass to see it... I was TOTALLY inspired in this look by the most amazing septum piercing from Six Feet Under, who created the Serpent Septum Nose Ring... Now if you look closely you can see it, but you don't get to see how pretty it actually is, so I've decided to add the store add here too, just to make things a little clearer...

Stones for Roses

I have been trying to keep my lazy brain active lately, reading and learning more about new and old things alike, and one of those things has been taking me back to my archaeological roots, today I was looking into a little Greek Mythology... Namely, at least for today, Medusa... The poor woman get's so much bad press for turning heroes to stone just because they look at her, but it has been said that it was a punishment caused by being in the wrong place, with the wrong person at the wrong time! 

It's what happens when you let Poseidon flirt with you in the tomb of another goddess... Mind you have you seen the recent re-incarnation of Poseidon, I mean I know he's not Poseidon but Aquaman is almost as close... 
She's not been on a date in such a long time, since her hairy pets have a tendancy to turn the boys to stone, but at least those boys that do come to visit bring her pretty flowers - thanks to the pose from Secret Poses, in which you have the option to use both Pink or Red roses. She loves roses, almost as much as her pet snakes, that's why she's had them tattooed into her Medusa Tattoo over her shoulders and down her arms - thanks to a gorgeous Skin Fair release from Psycho Barbie - and is happy to show them off with her adorable Shallan Outfit - a pretty floaty little gypsy number from 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Shame that to get the roses, the guys have to get turned to stone...
