” Medusa Head On Me Like I’m illumanti! “
That is the caption that Rihanna issued out to her ten million followers earlier today on social media when she unveiled herself in the December issue of GQ magazine . The pop singer commemorates GQ’s 25th anniversary in a special way for their British cover, and had the honor and privilege to work with famed artist Damien Hirst [who directed the shoot].
In Greek Mythology, Medusa was once a beautiful woman who was later transformed into a terrifying monster. She had snakes in place of her hair, and anyone who looked at her would turn to stone.
Clearly, Ri-Ri was perfect for the job because she loves to take deadly risks in fashion and in art it seems. Dressed in nothing but thong underwear, Rihanna strikes a few poses resembling the famed Greek guardian.
