Greek mythology taught us that by simply looking at Medusa, a monstrous woman with snakes for hair, would turn you to stone. Well, good luck taking your eyes off the ultimate in apolocalyptic apparel, the Oakley Medusa Hat and Goggles.

The Oakley Medusa Hat ($500) is a diabolical leather skullcap with tie down leather dreadlocks, adjustable chin strap, detailed stitching and rivets for attaching the matching goggles. The Oakley Medusa Goggles ($250) are equally sinister and are part of the Oakley HDO® (High Definition Optics) line that combines patented optics and Plutonite® lens material to provide 100% UV light filtering and unsurpassed impact protection. The lens are additionally coated in black Iridium® for precisely tuned light transmission.

Unless you're Mad Max, this isn't something you would wear on a sunny day while driving down the interstate, but it would be cool to wear while tearing down the street on a powerful chopper, screaming and swinging a spiked baseball bat around or in a futuristic battle against killer cyborgs or something. Awesome design. (via The Green Head)

Loved this since the first time I saw it! Truly remarkable. Also a nod from the mainstream toward the growing steampunk movement. Would wear this with pride on the helm of any zeplin or airship.

Strange, surreal and just a bit creepy... I'd actually create a trophy room just to display this. (via ion_dog)

this fits my alter ego perfectly. you may not know her, but she's fond of robbing metaphorical banks, painting the town red, and generally making a scene. if this doesn't contribute to wild and crazy behavior, i don't know what might. the perfect accessory to go cruising at night looking utterly ridiculous. and hey, who doesn't once in a while? definitely going on the wish list...

Too weird to be cool. Too cool to be ignored. (via espy)

Fierce. Frightening. Steampunk/cybergoth/post-apocalyptic fashion continues to hit the mainstream. Okay- maybe not entirely mainstream at $750 for the set. I'd look ludicrous in this, but that doesn't stop me from wanting one.
