Grace Jones wows the Roundhouse crowd with her Hurricane spectacular! ...She is still sexy, ferocious and fantastically OTT.
My all-time favourite, Grace Jones... I have waited for twenty+ years to witness Grace in the flesh... and I can tell you, she was not a disappointment!... Classic songs and new material from 'Hurricane' worked brilliantly live! Each track was given it's own 'look', dance moves and lighting. Outrageous outfits and Phillip Treacy creations helped to turn Grace into the ultimate Diva, and the crowd went wild for it! She pole danced her way through 'La vie en rose' and 'Libertango', hula-hooped the entire length of 'Slave to the Rhythm' and was spectacularly blown across stage during 'Hurricane'... What more could ya want from a Wednesday night out in Camden?
...Shown below are a few quick reworkings of my favourite Grace inspired images. A mixture of old 70's disco album covers, retouched photography by the wonderful graphic designer, and former lover of Grace - Jean Paul Gaude and body painting by the L8-GR8 Keith Haring.
Ladies and Gentlemen - Miss Grace Jones R O C K S!!!
