This guy IS Ares the way I imagined him in the Percy Jackson series. Riordan gave Copeland a glowing endorsement, writing, "I knew Adam was our Ares as soon as I saw his audition tape. He loves conflict and acts as an agent of chaos wherever he goes," according to Variety. Ares is described as "handsome in a wicked way and arrogant, despite not always being the sharpest tool in the shed. Copeland, of course, is best known for being WWE Hall of Famer The Edge, but he's also starred in shows like Haven and Vikings. Her poised, powerful, elegant take on Medusa blew me away! And wait until you see some of the statuary in her Garden Gnome Emporium."Īdam Copeland, who also appeared on The Flash as the Atom Smasher, is playing Ares, the belligerent god of war. Riordan wrote, "I can tell you this is one Aunty Em you do not want to mess with. She is welcoming to some and a threat to others," per Variety.

It also became one of the most referenced fashion images of all time, recreated most recently for Vanity Fair with actress Jennifer Lawrence in front of the camera, and famed lensman Patrick Demarchelier behind it.On Oct. However, the jewelry did not detract meaningful attention from Kinski, as when Condé Nast quickly put this image into production as a poster, after it had first graced the cover of US Vogue, it became one of the most reproduced posters in history, becoming a staple for hormonally inflected college dorms and high school boys’ bedrooms the world over. Though originally created as an editorial image, the only fashion artefact present in the image is the Patricia von Musulin bracelet on Kinski’s wrist, a detail that the Vogue editor at the time came to regret. And while Kinski is sexualised it is evident that she herself holds this power - stoic and in control, both in front of and behind the lens.
Reportedly, after hours of attempting to coax the snake into the ideal positions it finally snaked its way up the young actress’ body with Avedon patiently on hand to capture the split-second perfection of the serpent flicking its tongue into Kinski’s remarkably poised ear. The timeless sensuality of the image, alluding to the centuries-old story of Eve and the snake, is immortalised by Avedon pushing past the photographer’s comfort zone and into the erotic. This observation came to be something of an understatement, as a huge boa constrictor was brought to the set to lay upon the naked 21-year-old starlet. According to Vogue stylist Polly Mellen who worked on the shoot, it was Kinski herself who suggested that the addition of a snake would provide an extra punch to the images.

The two united in 1981 for a fashion editorial photoshoot commissioned by US Vogue, with the grand dame of fashion herself, Diana Vreeland, recruiting one of the world’s most renowned photographers to capture the celebrity woman du jour. With both Nastassja Kinski and Richard Avedon at the height of their careers, their two-hour long photoshoot created an iconic image that would stand the test of time.
