With Halloween creeping up fast, the panic and rush has already begun online with people searching for that Halloween look and idea. But with so many costumes available, it has become easier to find a costume quick, but there are a lot of repetitions and finding a unique costume is the key.
This Halloween, the Medusa Look may be the answer to an amazing costume idea. Because of the Clash Of The Titans movie this year, and our love for mythology, Medusa is a very popular mythological figure, and one a lot of people over look.
The myth of Medusa is stunning. She was not always the beast we think of today, and in myth, was once beautiful. A sister of three, known as the Gorgon sisters, were children of an ancient marine deities. She was a priestess in Athena's temple, and when she became a lover of the "Lord of the Sea" Poseidon under the roof of the temple, Athena became jealous and enraged, she turned Medusa's beautiful hair in to serpents and made her face so horrible, that any one who seen her face would turn to stone.
It's a fascinating myth and makes for a stunning costume for any girl out there, looking for a truly unique look this Halloween. This costume and look represents beauty, power, fear, love, desire and treachery, a great combination for an intriguing mystical feeling when you dress up like Medusa.
The story of Medusa to me is actually a pretty sad one, considering she was seduced no doubt, harshly punished, and when she looked at people, they turned to stone, really you have to emphasize with her.
She was then slain by Perseus, her head cut from the body and delivered to Athena, sad, but excellent story telling.
That's why the Medusa costume is a great option. The story, behind it, with all its action and character dramatics, makes a fantastic idea. The Medusa costumes available online are of stunning quality and come in all sizes, for all ages and tastes.
The beautiful dresses come in different designs, length and color, and adding great accessories like a perfect headdress to represent the serpents and compliment the dress will make a perfect yet unique costume. Looking beautiful yet stunningly scary at the same time is a winning combination for any girl this Halloween.
