Vamp is great!
Collaboration with BRIAN ENO’s what gets me all gooey. Another truly shrine-worthy artist.
E.Black, she really is one of the badassest badasses ever…I highly recommend the Miriam Kershaw article, which really articulates just how far she and the artists she worked with went to destroy thoughtless preconceptions of gender and race. And all pretty much in the mainstream!
In trawling the web for clips to share in this post, I found out she’s been banned from all Disney franchises worldwide for baring her breasts onstage during a concert in Orlando. RAWR.

I remember the impression she made on me as a kid…she wasn’t a thing like any woman I’d seen before. It only got more intense as time went on…a stunning woman on all fronts.

I love that you posted about grace jones. Some trully amazing women emerged during this time period and after.

I’d love to see further articles/blog entries on more of them. I think it’s important for people to be exposed to this quality of existence.

Grace Jones is one of those women that I love and admire because she knew how to bust stereotypes (gender-based and racial), plus she was a badass. A beautiful badass.

Grace Jones is simply amazing.
Interesting that you posted this now, as her rendition of “Demolition Man” and the images from the video, have been running through my head constantly for a day or so.
