i've finally recovered from losing The King Of Pop to drugs... the timing couldn't have been more perfect for The Queen Of Camp to reclaim the stage - the one & only Grace Jones took the Hollywood Bowl by storm in Eiko Ishioka...

it's sad how drugs will take one down, but inspiring to witness another surviving them only to show up on stage stunning at
61 years old in a g-string & her backside lathered in oil
for "La Vie En Rose"... Grace Jones is bad ass!!!
