There was a funny picture portraying Medusa on the class Twitter so that's where I am beginning this Wikipedia trail.
Medusa was a monster in Greek mythology. She is described as a winged human with a hideous face and living venomous snakes in place of her hair. The myth is that when people look at her they would turn into stone. Medusa was beheaded by Perseus, but the head still retained its power to turn people into stone. The symbol of Medusa's head is used in modern culture, specifically as a logo for the fashion company Versace.
Versace is an Italian fashion company founded by Gianni Versace in 1978. They produce Italian leather accessories. The founder chose the logo because Medusa made people fall in love with her and they had no way back; he wanted his company to have the same effect on people. Versace is described as the "Rock n' Roll" designer because they design for famous people like Bruce Springsteen.
Bruce Springsteen was born on September 23, 1949 and is a singer and songwriter. He has sold more than 64 million albums and more than 120 million records. He has earned 20 Grammy Awards, 2 Golden Globes and an Academy Award. The
Grammy Awards is an honor that recognizes outstanding achievement in English music industry. The first ceremony was held on May 4, 1959. The trophies handed out are gold-plated and are shaped like a gramophone. By 2009, 7,578 Grammy trophies were handed out.
