Song of the Day: 'Love Is the Drug' by Grace Jones


Here's wish a very happy birthday upcoming World Pride headliner Grace Jones, who turned 71 yesterday. Damian and I finally got our hands on "More Tales of the City" and "Further Tales of the City" and heard this classic in a scene where Mouse and his cop f**k buddy were out dancing!

Song of the Day: 'Pull Up to the Bumper' by Grace Jones


I would be derelict in my gay duties to not mention 70-year-old Grace Jones's recent Paris Fashion Week appearance


I don't think Tommy Hilfiger and Zendaya could have found a radiant person to close their show. Age isn't just a number -- unless you're Grace Jones.

Hot Cat of the Day: Watched the film adaptation of my pal Robert Rodi's novel "Kept Boy" over the weekend. It seems like it could have been a lot better -- who knew following the ins and outs of living with a sugar daddy could be so hard to follow? -- but one good thing did come out of it. I discovered Greg Audino, who plays the "other boy" (Jasper) -- and cradles a cat in a way that makes me know he's my kind of guy.

Song of the Day: 'The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game' by Grace Jones


With Smokey Robinson (who penned it), the Marvelettes, Blondie, Grace Jones and Tracey Thorn/Massive Attack all recording this Motown gem, it's hard to pick a favorite.

Song of the Day: 'Victor Should Have Been a Jazz Musician' by Grace Jones


I know yesterdays was a Grace Jones day, but Sandra Bernhard picked up on the theme and played this smooth number on "Sandyland," leaving me saying Grace all night long.

Still haven't started her memoir yet, but was giddy when this came on in a restaurant the other night!

Celebrating Grace Jones' Memoir She Promised to Never Write


Had a hoot at Chip Duckett's party to celebrate the release of Grace Jones' "I'll Never Write My Memoirs," the book she sang she'd never, well, write. The crowd packed into Martin Lawrence Galleries in Soho was a veritable who's who of New York City Facebook: great seeing and/or chatting with Fred Schneider, Scooter LaForge, Mike Albo, Bradford Shellhammer, Billy Hanson and Jonny Sorge of Liquid Diet, Amber Martin, Joe Jervis, Matthew Rettenmund and others.


 With Greg and Liquid Diet


Grace 'n' Chip

Grace may have been four hours late -- one-upping her three hours late to the signing earlier in the day at Barnes & Noble. 


But for those of us who didn't have the will to wait for Grace, we had this lookalike hanging around all night, who quickly got into the frame when the real deal showed up.


"I'll Never Write My Memoirs" is available now HERE.

Song of the Day: 'Private Life' by Grace Jones


Considered by some to be one of the weaker tracks on the Pretenders' seminal debut -- not sure I agree, but if it's true then that's just how good the others are -- Grace Jones made the most of it here.
