Renaissance Man: Dolph Lundgren - Grace Jones Has Great Taste!

Everyone knows I LOVE GRACE JONES. Case in point of her marvelousness is that she help make Dolph Lundgren a star. The story is they met backstage at one of her concerts and the rest is history or herstory depending how you like it. Anyway, Dolph besides being Gorgeous, he is a martial artist, a musician, has a master degree in chemical engineering, he speaks 7 or so languages, I think he is a painter, an actor, action star and a father. I'm sure I left out some other great qualities. Brains & brawn are SEXY.

Who Shot Rock And Roll Exhibit At The Anneberg Space For Photography Closes




The last days and nights at the The Anneberg Space for Photography were jammed back with fans of great photography and Rock & Roll. I went Saturday night and checked out the "Who Shot Rock and Roll" Documentary. It was the best part of the exhibit for me. Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Noel Gallagher, Linda McCartney's archives, John Lennon in New York as well as the interviews with the photographers were my favorite part. It was a wonderful exhibit. Kudos to the Anneberg for producing such a fantastic showing of some great moments in music and cultural history.
It was also great to see subjects Grace Jones, Ian Gallagher, Bono having a section in the show as well as the Rock Icons being some of my favorite stars that I've photographed and video'd over the past few years. I look forward to having my own exhibit with my favorite photographs and videos soon.

Happy Birthday To The Legendary Ms.GRACE JONES



Happy Birthday to One of My Favorite Performers in the World. A women who surprised me on the phone one day while I was on Robertson. Her brother Bishop Noel Jones knowing how much I loved his sister gave me one of the best gifts ever. He handed me his cell phone and said, "There is someone who would like to speak to you!" I had no idea who it was and when I heard her unmistakeable voice, well suffice it to say that was one of those moments in life that make you immensely happy. So Happy Birthday to MS. GRACE JONES! You defy time and gravity & MEN!

Here's Grace.... Backstage After Hollywood Bowl Performance


The one and only Grace Jones held court backstage after the show. I was thankful to accept. The Diva Extraordinaire was wearing a comfy velvet robe. Her beautiful head wrapped and big dark sunglasses added to her ensemble. She liked having people close to her. And was gracious in so many ways.
Much fun was had backstage alot of attractive men wearing very nice attire...Billy Zane looked hot old school Frankie Sinatra look.


Bishop Noel Jones, seen here below with his girl friend Mimi O'Donnell and Billy Zane, is one of the coolest cats on the planet. The duality of being a religious man while at the same time connecting with the realities of the world can be a tight rope to walk. Bishop Noel Jones also Grace Jones' brother handles it with intelligent dexterity. And still looks fly while doing it. Man does he know how to dress.

Actor Rondell Sheridan and I used to play basketball together at the Y. It was so good to see him out again. He is doing great. He is directing alot now. He also is a photographer.

Sven-Ole Thorsen another actor was big and burly. He had a lot of fun teasing me about my picture taking. I was prepared to fight him. The gorgeous Mimi O'Donnell is so sweet and beautiful. Love her.

Ladies & Gentlemen Ms. Grace Jones...

To say I love Grace Jones would be redundant. To say I had so much fun at her concert last night would be an understatement. First off let me say what a wonderful family Ms. Jones has. I had the pleasure of meeting her mom and son last night. Such nice people. Bishop Noel Jones (Grace's brother) is so cool. He gave me his phone last year and told me that there was someone on the line who wanted to speak to me and that person was Grace Jones. So to say I had a SPLENDID Time with all last night would be not enough. But I will try to tell those who didn't attend the show and do not know the Icon Grace Jones what they need to know.
First off, Ms. Jones now 60 looks great at any age, started off as a Super Model in the 70's. Her exploits were and are legendary. Grace soon took over a new wave of disco. She with the help of her son's father Jean Paul Goude (photographer and graphic artist) crafted an image that would make her legendary.
Grace Jones' fashion sense, singing abilities & theatrical training combined with J.P.C.'s visionary talent were a perfect cyclone to hit MTV. As music videos grew in popularity, Jones hit a global following. Jones' collaborations with Trevor Horn and Nile Rogers escalated Grace to Electronic Stardom. Her gay following is huge and has supported her for decades. Jones is popularity is also based on her film work. Some of her most popular roles are in BOOMERANG, CONAN the Destroyer and A VIEW TO A KILL.
Grace Jones unconventional look and demeanor is a great part of her success. Jones has the duplicity of both Male & Female power. Grace Jones was the first person that I thought was FIERCE! Jones is unapologetic for who she is and what she wants. She is GRACE JONES. Who else would open a concert and sing an entire song shrouded and get away with it?
