The Animalistic GRACE JONES

8 9

I had heard she once kept an interviewer wai-ting for eight hours, but she kept me waiting for five days. On the first at-tempt, she held a crew of 12 at a photo studio for six hours, before sending word that she wasn’t in the mood to be snapped today. I turned up to find an unamused photo-grapher, a weary stylist and a little chap called Filippo, from Bentley’s restaurant, whose job it was to handfeed her the oysters she had deman-ded we provide. “She no coming?” asked Filippo, dejected as a kicked pu-ppy, as he sadly packed 85 top-notch molluscs back into his icebox.

Grace deigned to show up the following evening, whereupon, my sources tell me, she had a noisy on-set bust-up with Phi-lip Treacy, then procee-ded to make everyone work through the night, announcing, in her low boom: “I don’t do dayti-mes.” Kate, Style’s un-flappable picture editor, told me she was “quite sweet, actually”, but this was before the studio called to accuse Style of stealing the orchids from reception. Predic-tably, the CCTV footage showed Grace, in grainy black-and-white at 4am, manhandling the flowers into her handbag on her way out the door. Classy.

After eternal wran-glings, I finally secu-red a dinner date with this apparent nightmare near her home in Put-ney, southwest London. “Putney? Are you sure?” I had asked her PR. “I know, bizarre,” he had laughed. Bizarre indeed. At her local Italian on the riverfront, lousy with gi-let-wearing bankers’ wi-ves and Bugaboos, Grace

suddenly arrives — an alien extraordinaire and self-confessed “black panther”. She is wearing a wide-brimmed felt hat, sunglasses (it’s night-ti-me) and several challen-ging garments by Issey Miyake. She has a small, unlikely-looking entou-rage in tow — a tiny wo-man in an anorak and baseball cap, who tells me she is Ms Jones’s assistant, and Chris, her brother — who both shake my hand, then evaporate the second their parts in her grand entrance are over and done with. All of a sudden, it is just me and the black panther sat op-posite one another. She is staring at me, unblinking — and something like fear grips my stomach.

“Would you mind if I or-dered something to eat first? Some Pinot Grigio Santa Margherita? Some bellinis?” she begins softly. A waiter is summo-ned, and Grace launches

Grace Jones and the mother of all comebacks. Grace Jones is pushing 60, but that’s not stop-ping her Giles HattersleyBy the time I finally pinned down Grace Jones for this in-terview, I had decided she was a rude has-been with an addic-tion to tardiness and a pen-chant for petty thievery.
