We were kinda making fun of the internet, but then Drew like knew all these people that were doing, everybody, they all had millions of followers, and I, "And then we'll do Kim Kardashian." So Jean-Paul Goude is one of my heroes.

57:37Debbie MillmanHOST
Yes.
K
57:37Kim HastreiterGUEST
He's also known for asses, right? I mean, you've seen his book covers.

Um, actually it was, strangely, the, the, the, the hair color thing was, uh, Jean-Paul Goude, who was, uh, Jo- Grace Jones' boyfriend.

24:49Tom BaileyGUEST
We met him in, uh, uh, when we were working with Grace Jones in The Bahamas, and, uh, he said, "What we should do is take our stereotypes and amplify it like crazy." So, you know, he said, "Joe should have, should be the, the, the Black guy from Africa.

25:07Tom BaileyGUEST
Alannah should have the, the kind of Rhine maiden blonde look." And therefore I had to be the redhead, you know? And, and he said, "You've gotta turn yourselves into cartoons." [laughs] And in a way he was right, because it, that had an enormously positive effect.

And so you're breaking barriers, which some people find unacceptable, and to this day a lot of people think the best bands are four white guys playing guitars.
