Okay, strangest thing you've researched for a story, fanfic or otherwise. Go!
Well, right now I'm hip deep in the history of Bent's Fort. This year I've had occasion to look up Pontiac Firebirds of the 1970s, spiral tib-fib fractures, how to legally register the home birth of a child in California, and the etymology of Throg's Neck, NY.
Well, she was boldly rounded for someone wearing a bra and tap pants publicly. Even in those pictures she looks kind of soft.
Kathy, if you haven't already read the Wood and Jankowski biography of Karski, you must must must. So good (but so heartbreaking -- I had to put it down for a month after reading about his meeting with Felix Frankfurter and Frankfurter's polite but utterly disbelieving dismissal of Karski and everything he reported; it just made my gut churn so badly I couldn't touch the book for a while).
Please get going and write that fic!
Even in those pictures she looks kind of soft.
I like how she looks.
Here's the little bit on black & navy. I think it looks especially good in the first picture.
God, why can't it be noon yet?
I did not know the iconic Grace Jones picture was a manip. Hmm.

I've always wondered that....
Oh--I thought Jesse meant she was out of shape.
I did -- but really just for a professional performer wearing a bra and panties (and nothing else, Sophia!). Her belly was soft and not-flat. Obviously she's thinner and in better shape than I am!
I like the black and navy in the first picture, too. I can see myself buying an outfit that combined the colors like that, and I've worn black shoes with navy dresses before. But for some reason I don't think I could bring myself to pair, say, a navy sweater with the black pants I'm wearing today.
Jesse, if it's any comfort to you, my computer spontaneously went "Gah!" and restarted itself while I was working on two Word docs. God knows what state they're in now.
