Bad broad- Grace Jones

"If you want a man, you GRAB HIM...AND TAKE HIM!"
"This....is the scent of a woman..."
"Pull up to my bumper baby, drive it in between."

As she is a slave to the rhythm, I am a slave to Grace Jones. Jamaican don(diva) dada. Original Queen Bitch. Genderfuck icon.

Grace is my first entry in my "thats a baaaaaad broad" series. I admit, she scared me as a child. Looking back though, I see how much a genius she was. In a industry where image can make people forget that you can't sing for shit, people forget that Grace can actually sing-- the image she crafted for herself was so striking at the time it was impossible to ignore.


I mean come on, who can pull this shit off even today? In 2009 its all about the pretty faces. I don't think society nowadays can appreciate a style like this.

Why is Grace Jones a baaaaad broad? Let me count the ways.

- Andy Warhol loved her ass (and he had a flair for icons)
- She once slapped a talk show host on live television because she felt like he was ignoring her
- She can get away with rubbing her panties in a dude's face (see "Boomerang")
- Flawlessly executed the genderfuck style

That is just stratching the surface...but here is more proof in case you needed it.


This is Grace...at 59 years old. 59.

So thank you Ms. Jones. Keep doin' what you been doin' for decades cause' these young chicks can't see you.

For your listening pleasure...
