Mrs. Jones, The Voice

Astazi o ascult pe repeat pe Grace Jones, care implineste 64 de ani. Ma uitam ieri peste imaginile cu Jones gasite pe diverse site-uri si bloguri si mi-a fost foarte greu sa fac o selectie pentru blogul meu, pentru ca mi-au placut toate. Grace Jones este un adevarat personaj, iar vocea ei inconfundabila mi-a dat de fiecare data o stare de vacanta, cu seri petrecute in locuri artistice, in compania unor cocktails perfecte. Am facut in cele din urma o selectie fotografica cu Mrs. Jones, de care sa-mi amintesc si peste 40 de ani.

Grace Jones, foarte tanara. A aterizat la New York in 1965, insotita de cei doi frati ai sai, direct din jamaicanul Spanish Town. Mama sa, Marjorie, a fost o femeie foarte frumoasa iar tatal sau, Robert Jones a fost un politician idealist.

Grace Jones a studiat la Syracuse University din New York si in paralel s-a lansat in modeling, facand ravagii la Paris.

Grace Jones si artistul francez Jean Paul Goude, impreuna cu care are un fiu, Paulo. Goude are o obsesie pentru custi. La finalul lui 2011 si pana in martie 2012, Muzeul Artelor Decorative din Paris a vernisat o retrospectiva Goude extraordinara.

Daca ajungeti la Londra in aceasta vara, intre 15 si 17 iunie va asteapta Lovebox 2012, un concert estival organizat in Victoria Park unde va canta Grace Jones, alaturi de Hot Chip, Kelis, Friendly Fires, Lana Del Rey, The Rapture si alte nume tari din muzica.

Aici am gasit niste galerii minunate cu fotografiile lui Grace Jones. http://www.theworldofgracejones.com/ si http://quimby.gnus.org/

“Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.”
