The Fierce, The Fabulous Ms. Grace Jones

The first time I saw Grace Jones was on the cover of Essence Magazine. I had to be about 5 years old. My sister had a subscription of the magazine. I had never seen a woman of color who looked her. I asked my big sister, how come this lady has mans haircut? She said, that's Grace Jones! Now that  I think of it she said as if I was  suppose to know. It was the early 80's I only knew who Strawberry Shortcake and Punky Brewster. After a while I learned who Grace Jones was. She is a work of art from head to toe. There will never ever be another Grace Jones. You can't make a clone of her. They broke the mold when she was made.
If I ever decide to design hats like my ancestors did I will truly use Grace Jones as my muse. She could work anything on her head.
