Grace Jones..Did people find her sexy?

For some reason she came to mind recently and I actually forgot her name so I looked up the Conan movies. I didn’t realize she was in only one of them either. I kinda recall alot of guys thinking of her as sexy in the 80’s. I was only 11 years old when Conan the Destroyer came out but I never got the attraction she had. Maybe i’m wrong but for a few years wasn’t she like a household name?

After looking her up in Wikipedia, I saw that she was a main character in a James Bond film too. I do not get this attraction she had.

Confidence is always sexy and her characters exuded confidence.

3

I thought she was hot.

4

Yes, in a very scary way.

5

Another vote for: Sure, she could kill me, but I’d take that chance.

6

I always liked her music more than her acting, but she’s definitely got something about her.

Pull Up To The Bumper is full of splendid euphemisms.

7

Absolutely.

And like others have pointed out, there are many men who’d say: “Powerful amazon bitch? That’s hot. I’ll take my chance, what a way to go.”

Also, her look was “exotic” and a lot of people find that sexy – she definitely did not follow the “Barbie doll dipped in chocolate” standard that mainstream media used to define an attractive black woman. Grace Jones looked like Grace Jones.

Back then I was rather scared of her, but "Slave to the rhythm"and her version of “La vie en rose” are still two of my favourite songs ever.

Never thought she was sexy. She’s too manly, and I don’t find men sexy.

But even judging her as manly, I don’t think she’s good looking. I can see the attractiveness in a George Clooney or Denzel Washington or Brad Pitt-- I can even see their sexiness, even if I’m personally not attracted to them. I just don’t see the attractiveness in Grace Jones. She’s odd looking, imo, not sexy.

If someone wants to link to a picture they find her especially sexy in, I’m willing to change my opinion.

10

Nope. Had to double check, though, to see whether my opinion had changed in the past 30 years. Just not into guys, which is what she looked like to me. (NTTAWWT.)

Her music is awesome.

She appeals to people who are into the androgynous aesthetic, which is why she was well-suited for the 70s and 80s.

I’m a straight female and always though she was sexy as hell. I a very unconventional, androgynous way.

13

No, she’s not attractive. The media’s attempt to portray her as such was essentially just another middle-finger to what it (wrongly) sees as arbitrarily constructed social norms.

14

I never thought she was. I didn’t care for her style. But, as the saying goes… different strokes.

15

Strangely alluring, like an ur-Bjork.

16

I saw her perform live last summer. Still sexy.

17

How many people saw her perform? I can’t imagine that being sold out.

18

Never thought she was even remotely attractive, in any way. Feel the same about her “acting” and her music.

19

I Googled “Grace Jones sold out concerts” and there were quite a few returns, including recent dates (within the last 5 or 6 years). She was and is popular.

Depends on the picture for me. She had a rather chiseled face for a woman.

I think some of her more severe 80s eye-eyebrow-hair stylings didn’t always look good with her nose.
