Product Information

The two hours you spend almost exclusively with Miss Jones functions like a mega-backstage-pass: you get to enjoy the concert, a meet-and-greet, a few days of one-on-one, and several meals with her family in Jamaica. I just wanted to tell you guys at MVR that I am absolutely delighted with the DVD I bought from you. The only downside I can think of is that the game's theme is really secondary to the gameplay/mechanisms.Yet here we also discover her as a lover, daughter, mother, sister and even grandmother, as she submits herself to our gaze and allows us to understand what constitutes her mask.

The quality is as new superb not a flaw and my communication with the vendor I found to be polite , helpful , gave good advice and utmost friendly with excellent service skills .

Details are adequate in these scenes, while the fly-on-the-wall nature of the footage makes it, if not reference quality, at least much more immediate. Jones herself has said watching the film “will be like seeing me almost naked” and, indeed, Fiennes’s treatment is every bit as definition-defying as its subject, untamed by either age or life itself.

Disco diva from the '70s, cult star, reggae machine, actress ( Conan the Destroyer) and androgynous icon. Jones' bold aesthetic echoes throughout unique musical performances that include hit songs Slave to the Rhythm and Pull Up to the Bumper.
