Those full, pouting lips. Beautiful woman. Redefined 'androgynous'. Remember some of her videos as a kid. Topless, and as flat as a boy. What did she see in Dolph Lungren? Huh

It always baffles me how close minded people always are, people are actually calling a legend like Mz Jones ugly ? Grace Jones jones that opened the doors for them Iman, Naomi Campbell e.t.c ? Just because she isn't the average long haired blah blah. . .
Lady Gaga, Rhinanna and co are just doing what she did 35 years back. .  of course minus her amazing talent  Grin

Recognised,thanks for the video,downloded the song on it "I've seen that face before". .  been jamming all night. I can't get over how she always mixes some sexy French in her songs.

Lady Gaga has always mentioned her as her Role Model.

I admired her style and grace. Think she is unique in her own way. But that admiration has a limit tho. she is beautiful in her own way but I'll definitely not take her to Momma.

Fuuck me, there has been probably 3 people that have stated that Grace Jones has "grace".

I wouldn't deny my grasp of English and its accompanying grammar is very poor  Cheesy due to my limited participation in Education  Grin, but if we are talking about grace in the context of a mannerism not as a pun of the woman's name, I hope we are talking about the same woman here?

The same woman that is vulgar in public and does not restrain from physical assaults?  Undecided

Na wa for those in the fashion industry and their disciples in the general public. The fashion and art industry are the industries I hate the most because of their pretentiousness. Makes me wanna puke.  Angry

As per beautiful in her own way, the day I watched a film with James Bond having an amorous interaction with this thing was the day I switched from wanting to grow up and be James to wanting to be Simon Templar (The Saint).  Grin

Are you trying to pass a message to Grace Jones? You keep saying that. Wink

Meanwhile----Definitions of grace:
noun:   elegance and beauty of movement or expression
verb:   make more attractive by adding ornament, colour, etc.
verb:   be beautiful to look at

An equation normally comes like this Left Hand Side (LHS) = Right Hand Side (RHS)

LHS
Elegance, Beauty, Attractive and Beautiful.

Middle
=

RHS
Grace Jones

Outcome
Grade = F (Use of oxymorons not valid in mathematical equations)  Grin Grin Grin

Both words existed mutually exclusively in Spiky's dictionary post. I didn't want to leave either out, even though they mean the same thing, so as to eliminate any chance of ambiguity of my aims.

Babes, such a thing being championed along with some flat-chested, bony, curveless twigs, by an industry I have so much disdain towards, as the most beautiful women on earth, removes any sense of self-restraint I have previously demonstrated.  Grin

I am on a mission to save the human race as we need to procreate. If women start attempting to look like this monstrosity and the skeletal pack of bones termed beautiful "models" by a bunch who are not known to be attracted to women anyway, who go do them?  Undecided  Grin

Later you will hear a girl that is beautiful and has nice curves whining in your ears that she is fat and wants to be size zero.  Undecided

Kate Flat Moss my bleeping backside, when I can have Scalett Johansson.
