      "Scary" lies in the eyes of the cowardly beholder. I think Grace is one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. At a time when so many like her with unique short coily hair tried/try to straighten and lengthen it by any means available to look like someone they are not, she worked with what she was gifted--beautiful skin and hair--and used both in a stereotype-defying way. She was no slave to the stereotypic rhythm.
