Inspiration from the world of Miss Grace Jones….
“I do what I want and I’m satisfied with it, whether or not it pleases everybody…. Actually, there are certain people I definitely don’t want to please. There are some people I’m like ‘Oh no, puh-leeeze don’t like me!’”
“If you’re out there you’re vulnerable. People prefer to disappear in life, to repress their personality. That’s not living. It’s dying. I see them all over the place, the walking dead.”
“I wasn’t born this way. One creates oneself.”

“I wasn’t born this way. One creates oneself.”
I love this. Although there are some definite traits I was born with, I can really identify with creating the life I want.
I love Grace … thanks for reminding me of her fierceness.
Hi G, I like it too (for the reasons you mention) but also because I find it refreshing for a star to admit that their persona is a carefully cultivated construction. This, of course, applies to sublimely femme bloggers as well

Oh hell, SF, now after reading your comment to G I am picturing you in a flannel shirt typing your blog posts. Sob!
Grace Jones is pretty much a tour de force of intense womanhood. Excellent post.
I don’t own anything flannel now but I did wear flannel shirts in the 80s when I thought I was butch. Yes, my darling, it’s quite true! xo SF
