(YOU CAN SEE THE RAW UNCENSORED VERSION OF THIS PIC ON PAGE 3).
This photo was taken in 1982 and if you think that Grace looks a lot like the dude in the photo, it’s probably because he is her BROTHER and her TWIN, Christian Jones! Yep you read that right, Grace took a butt naked picture with her very own flesh and blood. Guess who actually photographed them? Her then-boyfriend and father of their son, French photographer Jean Paul Goude. They were photographed for Jean Paul’s book, Jungle Fever and Esquire magazine once referered to his book as “‘The French Correction’, Goude performs his art to bring nature in closer conformity to his fantasies.” Now exactly what fantasies those are? We have no earthly idea.
We love us some Grace Jones though, and we know there is always some method to her madness, but this is whole thing is really weird. We’re sure there was some type of “artistic expression” they were trying to accomplish with this nude photo, but we don’t quite know what that is.
Here at ILoveOldSchoolMusic, we consider ourselves to be very openminded, but on this, we feel like we don’t have enough “mind” to understand this one. We’ve been trying to wrap our heads around this, but we just don’t get it. It’s very difficult to see the art in this, so if anyone can explain it, please do.
Here is a fun fact about Grace and her brother, Christian Jones:
1. Christian once fell out with their parents because of social differences (they were very religious and disagreed with him ‘walking swishy’, as well as him wanting a career in music as a DJ), she took her brother’s side and she claims this helped establish her rebelliousness.
