Grace Jones images made with Jean-Paul Goude in the 80s - you can see how Nicki used these images, which are already about construction and femininity and racism and discomfort, and basically added a bunch of amazing lipstick to the situation.

This new Nicki Minaj video has 41,851 likes and 63,665 dislikes. Which surprised me! This isn’t my favourite Nicki song - though I’m going to give it a bit of time, it took me about a year to fully get Pink Friday - but the video is amazing. There’s some pretty clear Grace Jones references happening; I don’t know if the other images come from somewhere or are just generally playing on different kinds of femininity. Nicki with doll freckles and a little girl voice, vs Nicki in a cage wearing fishnets, while telling her unseen interlocuter to “suck this diznick” is, wow.
