Never? Guess what? They were published today.
Four months ago, on her birthday, I argued Grace Jones is the original femdom icon. By then the world was awaiting her memoirs. For a long time Grace Jones maintained she would never write them, but she changed her mind. Haven't read them yet and it probably is gonna take some time before I do but here are some reviews.
At 67, pop’s most outrageous innovator is in her prime. As she unleashes her explosive memoir, the performer lifts the lid on a lifetime of sex, drugs and drag queens.
"In her memoir, she speaks with equal passion about her love of music and her love of sex, using similar language to describe the two. Which of the two does she prefer? For the first time this evening, she looks genuinely aghast. Not because of the question (Grace Jones is no prude), but because of the choice.
“There is no way you can separate music or sex!” she shrieks.
“You want to put on some good music when you’re having sex."

"“Do you think we can take the Champagne to the pool, or are they going to have some corporate law about it?” She grabbed it anyway and headed for the door.
“Well, let’s see. Let them try and stop me.”"
