The air is so still but cool under this grey sky. Not like that time when I shuffled across Victoria Park in July to find the perfect spot to claim for the evening and prepare for a legend at the Lovebox Festival.
I think back to that encounter when life was a multicoloured fairground of joy, laughter and dazzling outfits. That was night Grace Jones came to town and made us abandon our troubles and watch only her.
We beheld her with awe as she strided and strutted before us, purring the classics like La Vie en Rose and I’ve Seen that Face before. She gave us attitude for Pull up to the Bumper.
Oh never underestimate Grace. So many of today’s hat-slanting, style driven starlets appear to have plundered her look. Oh how she added a little sparkle to our lives.
