The Idol and The Icon
The Idol: Grace Jones
Donning a suitably odd outfit, the Amazonian singer accepted an award from her dad, Tom Jones, at last night's Q Awards for being the Q Idol 2008 (a wonky category to guarantee the legends will turn up). See footage here. The new album is two and a half weeks away!
The Icon: Adam Ant
And the King of Antmusic popped up in an equally odd outfit to pick up his award for Q Icon 2008, (a wonky category to guarantee the reclusive legends will leave the house AND turn up). It's good to see Adam out and about, but he really needs some of Grace's magic dust at the mo'. She's going from strength to strength this year producing some of her best work and performing career-defining concerts.
How about a duet? The Idol and the Icon...

That might just be the best scooter advert ever.
They're both unintentional poster people for "Just Say No" these days though.
She should have come along in her glass-coffee-table-and-tits outfit from the Dazed Magazine shoot. Now THAT would have been something...
Cannot wait for the album. Stunned it's now only a few weeks away.
I just read something today that said Adam wanted to work with the Kaiser Chiefs on his comeback. Wacky.
The Grace record is one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year. I am so glad it is getting a US release, although it is a couple of weeks after you Euros get it. It is going to be a good one.
I've never seen that Honda ad before. Delish! Grace was quite the shill in the 80s, wasn't she? I seem to remember a car commercial as well.
