Creative Captioning: Grace Jones, Vampire Hat
Erstwhile actress, singer and model Grace Jones cut a bold figure when she arrived at Monday's annual Q music awards show in London where the 60-year-old former Bond girl was honored as a music icon. Never one to submit to the constraints of conformity, Jones seems to have hit upon a look that is equal parts Vegas vampire and evening burqa.

But enough preamble. You know the drill. Commit your winningest captions to Internet infamy below. The best of the best will be elevated to a place of prominence here in the blog and the tippy-top winning captioner will be awarded the utterly meaningless title of "Celebritology Captionologist of the Week." And, in the interest of making this a fairer process, don't stop at posting your own captions, but weigh in on which entries you think are the funniest/most fitting.
