#art #history: sometimes it's nice to draw someone just because her mug is so bloody marvellous...but debbie harry (born #otd in 1945) is much more than a pretty face.
although she made her debut in miami, she's more strongly identified with the big apple. her adoptive parents were from new jersey, you see, so she grew up there & escaped to NYC in 1965. [short thread - &, yes, i DID have to do multiple variations!]

debbie's heart isn't made of glass. no, no. it's forged from purest gold. in 2014, she was instrumental in having a new york city carriage driver's license revoked. she wrote an impassioned plea to council members imploring them to retire all carriage horses to sanctuaries. totally cool, but never cold. debbie, i <3 you!
