Morning everyone ❤️🔥
Woman’s own (1987)
An eye-catching hairstyle was always one of Debbie’s trademarks. She made Blondie one of the hottest groups of the Seventies. Now Debbie’s solo career looks set to match that success. Her new single In Love With Love has just been released back hit – French Kissing In The USA – both from her album Rockbird. And that’s just the beginning. Debbie stars in the film Forever Lulu, due to be released later this year and is writing songs for a new album.
But the best news is that Chris Stein, her partner for 13 years, has made a full recovery from the rare skin disease that threatened his life. Debbie was at the peak of her career when Chris fell ill in 1981.
She became a virtual recluse, keeping a constant vigil by his bed. “It was nightmarish. A really sad scary time,” she says. Now Chris seven years her junior, is supporting Debbie – as her lead guitarist. But there’s no talk of marriage. “Marriage is a state of mind,” says Debbie. “The change of name smacks of a woman becoming a possession! ❤️🔥

Happy Tuesday everyone 🧡Woman’s Own (1987)
WHAT, NO ROLLERS!
You’d never guess Debbie Harry had been through so much heartache. But now the bad days are behind her, and she looks beautiful – even if she did lose the fight with her hairdryer! Joanna Wane reports.
She was the ex siren of the Seventies with a string of hits behind her, but Debbie Harry gave it all up for love. Now she’s back, after spending five years away from the limelight caring for her seriously ill lover, Chris Stein. With those bewitching almond-shaped eyes and finely chiselled cheekbones, Debbie Harry still looks stunning for a woman in her forties. But what on earth has happened to her hair! Has Debbie poked her finger in a power socket? Her wild haystack of peroxide blonde and black gives a new meaning to the crumpled look! 🩷💛📸 Brian Aris

Where I can see it all, find out who you call
Lead you to the supermarket checkout some specials and rat food get lost in the crowd’ 🎶🎸🎤🥁

Happy Monday X’rs 🩷
Biz magazine (1987)
Debbie’s input into the songs she co-writes is mostly the words – I like to be clever and use words interestingly. I write them from observation. She has often used French lyrics in her previous work – most notably in her last solo hit USA’, but not any more. ‘I think I’ve finished using French words,’ she says, ‘It was OK for French Kissin’ – that was so romantic – but it’s not easy to sing and the phrasing is difficult.’
She thinks back over the years as the star in Blondie: ‘A lot of things happened in a short number of years. When you’re working very hard to get success and continue operations, you can get very serious and intense. But having done it already, now I can have a better time with it and approach it in a lighter vein. That doesn’t mean I didn’t have fun doing Blondie. I’d do everything over again in exactly the same way. But this time around there won’t be so many surprises.
‘The best thing I’ve learnt is how to handle stress and how to like myself. I think we should all guard instinct and inspiration carefully – and use them.’ 💜🩷

Happy Sunday everyone 💛Biz magazine (1987)
Her latest album Rockbird is more laid-back and subtle than previous ones, isn’t it?
‘I think that’s a sign of the times. Generally the songs that you hear on the radio now are more romantic. I don’t think the Sex Pistols would do very y to do music, period, whatever it is. I really love doing it.
Musically, although her distinctive vocals echo the Blondie sound, the overall feel now is of greater sophistication, while losing none of the tuneful subtlety. Her most recent single ‘In Love With Love’ exemplifies this. Co-written by Debbie and Chris Stein, it’s a high-energy eulogy to being in LUV. The Stock/Aitken/Waterman team, who fashion hits for Mel & Kim, Pepsi & Shirlie and Dead Or Alive, have transformed a sweet album track into a charismatic club pounder. 🩷💚💛

It was 11:59 when Sunday Girl shouted, “One Way or Another, you've got to Call Me!”
“Not now!” cried Denis. “I'm Hanging on the Telephone, waiting for Fan Mail from Maria!”
“Picture This,” said Pretty Baby. “Debbie Harry, Platinum Blonde, with a Heart of Glass, an Atomic attitude ring Union City Blue to its knees!”
“Dreaming again?” asked Victor.
“I Know but I Don't Know,” winked Debbie. “The Tide Is High, and I'm not Living in the Real World!”
Suddenly, X Offender burst in.
“There's Trouble in Paradise! The Attack of the Giant Ants has begun!”
“Little Girl Lies!” snapped Debbie. “You've got No Imagination!”
“I'm Gonna Love You Too!”
“Just Go Away! You're giving me Bermuda Triangle Blues!”
At Love at the Pier, The Hunter was waiting.
“In the Flesh!” gasped Sunday Girl.
“Nothing Is Real but the Girl,” whispered Maria.
“I'm Always Touched by Your Presence, Dear,” smiled Debbie.
As Angels on the Balcony watched in Slow Motion, Victor shouted, “Do the Dark!”
“Rip Her to Shreds!” screamed X Offender.
“Accidents Never Happen!” laughed Debbie.
“Go Through It!” yelled Denis.
“Walk Like Me!” cried Sunday Girl.
“Follow Me!” shouted Maria.
But Debbie had other plans.
“I Want That Man!”
“Which man?” asked Victor.
“The Hardest Part is deciding!” 💋
The clock struck 11:59.
“Call Me?” asked Denis.
“One Way or Another!” winked Debbie.
Because Sunday Girl might be Dreaming, Denis might be Hanging on the Telephone, and Maria might be In the Flesh…
But Nothing Is Real but the Girl.
And One Way or Another, she'll ALWAYS be ATOMIC! ⚡💋⚠️
