Rihanna and Lady Gaga are no strangers to pushing the limits of fashion and performance art; however, like my mother always says, "there's nothing new under the sun." Perhaps an inadvertent attempt at replication, nevertheless...they pay homage. It's no secret that Grace Jones isn't exactly happy about the comparison. She's reportedly turned down collaboration opportunities with Gaga siting Gaga's unoriginality. In an extremely unsuccessful effort to redeem herself in the eyes of the Jamaican-American, singer, model, and actress, Gaga is quoted as having referred to Grace as her, "Jesus." I guess imitation isn't always the greatest form of flattery-and comparing the former Andy Warhol muse to the Messiah was a pure stroke of idiocy.
P.S.
Isn't there something to be said about Beyonce's alter-ego, Sasha Fierce as well. One can't argue the similarities to Grace.
Sincerely,
