Grace Jones..Did people find her sexy?

That was pretty good. I never saw that.

All of this. Yes, definitely.

Does anyone know what her real life personality was like? Was she mean to people, or kind? Few things are quite as sexy, in both men and women, as a “gentle giant.”

I remember the big gossip back in the day when she was filming Conan is that she was batshit crazy. Something about she injured a bunch of people on the set because she got carried away in one of the fight scenes?

I don’t know, probably an urban myth.
But no, Grace Jones is the stuff nightmares are made of.

Bitchy, dominatrix, androgynous broad with a buzz cut and shitty music.

I’ll pass.

My friend was wearing some jewelry that her mother had given her at a nightclub. Grace Jones asked if she could try them on. My sweet, nice friend obliged. I don’t know why. Grace Jones then left the place without giving them back. If I ever have the opportunity to do something mean to her…

I forgot to mention that I tend to find androgyny at least somewhat attractive. But androgyny is not what I get when I see Ms. Jones. It’s that fierceness I mention.

Oh. She’s Jamaican. Well, darn. I thought she was French.

Nevermind.

Waaaaaay to mannish for me. She looks like something chiseled out of stone for a sci-fi movie. And it seems to be done deliberately. I suspect she could dial it back considerably if she chose to.

All of that is your call - and there are a lot of folks who apparently agree with you - but damn, a lot of her music is excellent. A quick YouTube check didn’t turn up a mobile video I could view then paste here - but check out her version of Use Me. With Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare on drums and bass, it is wonderful.

I think she’s hot and find her very attractive. Lean, high cheekbones, smooth skin. She’s very exotic to me.

I’ve never heard her music though. I also recall reading that she was pretty unprofessional on the James Bond film too - Roger Moore had nothing good to say about her.

On a laptop - here is a YouTube link for Use Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zroggPZuHxk

It’s the old Bill Withers song (which I love), with a full makeover. The bass just makes the song - very cool. Her voice is fine, but more importantly, suits this particular arrangement.

She’s eccentric and has a totally outlandish look and way she carries herself, but I love this music…

Grace Slick, on the other hand…

The original for comparison. Great song. It does say something ( what, I’m not sure :wink: ) that she tends to completely re-invent her covers, rather than just doing straight versions of them.

I think she was hot as a crematorium.

But then I also carry a torch for Skin, singer for Skunk Anansie (unrequitted, alas, as the lady swings for the ladies). Even though I’m told people also find her scary and mannish. Scary, you say ? I just don’t see it :).

Scary as hell and striking. I would never call her sexy… but fascinating and attractive.

Hell, yes.
