Grace Jones: the Original Lady Gaga

Back before Lady Gaga was a gleam in her parents eyes, Grace Jones was part of the music, club and art scene.  The Jamaican-born singer, model and actress became known for her outrageous style and stunning, androgynous looks.  She started in on the emerging New Wave music scene in the late 70's and early 80's.

This was probably her most famous and iconic photo and album cover.

Slave to the rhythm.  Aren't we all.

So other-worldly.


 She reach cult status in movies like Conan the Destroyer.

And my personal favorite: Mayday in the James Bond flick A View to A Kill.  What an amazing outfit!!  Complete with atomic bomb.

Here with Christopher Walken.  I loved this scene for all the great 80's fashion and beauty.

And here she is in Vamp.  WAY before the twilight series...

Just gorgeously extreme.

And totally out-Gagas Gaga.
