Last night I went to see Grace Jones in concert at Somerset House - it was amazing. There was a costume change for every song, or rather I should say a hat change. She was wearing a fabulous set of hats. They included:
- a fascinator feather with alien bug-eye lights
- full-moon centurion style circle
- Hat in the shape of Angor Wat
- Space age Virgin Mary get-up in a washing machine extraction tube
- Giant copper bowl with matching cymbals
- Bug-eyed alien mask
- Gold alopecia feathered Cleopatra
- Cabaret circus ring master
- A diamond-encrusted cocoon
- Big leaf, with Zaha Hadid style swoop
- Bug tentacles & antelope horns
- Flashing blue sunglasses
- Disco ball bowler hat with lasers
- And finally she emerged wearing a Christmas decoration on her head.
Highlights of the night were when Grace exclaimed "Jesus! What's with the yellow light?" and "No fan's gonna fuck up my hula hoop" before hula-hooping while singing Slave to the Rhythm.
Here's a rubbish video of a little bit:
