All I'm saying is that (from my experience) her voice isn't all that it used to be!britoutofwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021559187679807322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-22654734139676976912008-06-28T00:25:00.000+01:002008-06-28T00:25:00.000+01:00Debbie Harry is way cool...and why shouldn't she s...Debbie Harry is way cool...and why shouldn't she still make money the way the other old farts do like Keith Richards?

I work in marketing and have recently worked on some anti-aging products - I can't tell you how distressing it is for older women to feel ugly because they are not 30 years old or younger. Some of them, (you go girls!) are even thinking of prosecuting plastic surgeons for implying that ageing = ugliness. Bit of a rant for my first post to you, hope you enjoy the gig!

We need more of a description of him.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime I am dropping little one off at zoo camp, then ripping my closet apart to find something remotely suitable for a Blondie concert at a zoo. It's going to be about 88 farenheit, possibly thundery, I am covered (yet again) in bites on my legs and my hair goes weird in the humidity. I think I will go for the modern day burkha - those huge yellow rain ponchos you get at Disney, Sea World and other such venues.

(The latter, one hopes).<BR/><BR/>The only Debbie Harry connection I have (aside from an appreciation of her music) is that I used to work with a guy who stalked her. No, really. He used to send her gifts and follow her around and even managed to get into a limo with her once.

I don't think there is any doubt she has had some work done but so might we all if we were going to be looked at like that. I hope she is still super cool. Some people can manage it, Marianne Faithfull for example remains still as cool as they come.

It can only mean one thing...Deborah Harry had a friend who lived in my building in New York before I moved to England and I used to see her swimming in the pool there and this was the early 1990's so it was before her "revival."
