Dazed & Confused November 2008 : Grace Jones by Chris Cunningham


Chris Cunningham Photographs Grace Jones


“It’s not fashion, it’s an anti-fashion shoot," says Jones. "He’s shooting me like art.” Chris Cunningham’s inspiration came from his 2005 short film “Rubber Johnny”: ‘When I made the images for Rubber Johnny, I wanted to make some Nubian versions to accompany them. For me, Grace has the strongest iconography of any artist in music. She’s definitely the most inspiring person I’ve worked with so far.”

Damn, so fierce.

Remember when Xiomara bitched about having to portray her on ANTM?

ugh yes

you had to be a dark-skinned girl (which, fuck, isn't as terrible as she thinks it is) for all of 60 minutes. oh woe is you.

rank bitch.
[info]gonerilandregan 14th-Oct-2008 03:55 am (UTC)
It was so dumb. I mean, she was chosen to portray Grace fuckin' Jones! She should have just STFU and made it work anyway.

Tyra was so nice about it though... now she'd just choke a bitch.
