Sing
For Your Supper |

I
think it's the fact that Grace
Jones apparently has no
mirrors in her house - on
the grounds that they freak
her out, obviously - that
most enamours me to her. That
and Slave to the Rhythm. Naturally,
therefore, I love that she's
headline at this year's Sónar.
And with MJ
and his gargantuan new jawline
also back on the scene after
an honest quid (or hundred
million), 'tis the season
for old-timers to make a comeback. |

Nowhere
is seeing the trend more than
gay Paris. The quintagenarian
Barbie is going out on a (plastic
but perfectly-formed) limb
at Colette
to actually, you know, earn
her keep. And whilst we all
thought Dita Von Teese was
just a pro press wh*re, it
seems she's actually having
to strip sing for her supper
too.
Following on from February's
impressive sell-out show,
she's back at
Paris' Crazy Horse with
another two-week tassel-twirling,
nipple-tastic instalment.
Which is handy given the sadly
ailing health of the older,
traditional
burlesque haunts.
And with the Parisian
Concorde hotels offering
a Warhol-tastic deal in time
for the huge exhibition at
the Grand Palais, now might
be the perfect time for that
cheeky Easter weekend away,
chez gay Paris.
