“When I was modelling, I spent half my life staring at thousands of perfect reflections. It got to a stage where I was losing all sense of reality, so after I quit modeling, I took all the mirrors out of my house.”
- Grace Jones, 1981, on sitting shiva for her media-ghostified self
"Who can account for facial expressions made in a mirror of people?" - Iggy Pop
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We're what's happening
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We're an ice machine
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
We walk like a ghost
We learn dances brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
Written by Sting, covered by Grace but could equally have done for Iggy - it's almost like a rewrite of "Search and Destroy"
"it only takes a camera to change her mind"
