Believe it or not, Grace Jones was born 68 years ago today, in Spanish Town, Jamaica. She’s essentially a living classical sculpture. with nearly 7 decades on this earth she’s too-good-for, she mysteriously looks better and still gives more energetic performances than pretty much anyone alive. Grace Jones is everyone’s hero. In her honor, we have a collection of artists’ GIF tributes to one of the most glamorous, innovative, and all-around awesome figures in the history of art/pop:

This is a photo by Ron Gallela of Grace Jones at her 30th birthday party in 1978, on a motorcycle, surrounded by male strippers, feeding birthday cake to Divine. Have you ever been more jealous that you weren’t in a room?
Note: I just realized about half of these GIFs came from Sheroes, an IRL/URL art party series organized by AFC’s own Rea McNamara back in 2012! What a small world!
