@kathimmel@mstdn.social#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!]

you all know her musical history & the contributions she made to pop (arguably including the first female rap as well as the shimmery risk of a disco single that proved to be a massive crossover hit), but did you know that she's not afraid of the f-word? to wit, she wonders, 'how can one be a woman & not be a feminist?'

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!

@kathimmel She's a good person, and also objectively the most beautiful human to ever live.
@erosdiscordia i know, eh? i don't even begrudge her because she also loves cats, gives a shit about the climate crisis & somehow remains humble. if i outlive her, i'll cry when she goes.
@erosdiscordia <3
hope life is being good to you.
@kathimmel It is. 
Hope yours is going well too.
@erosdiscordia as good as can be expected in a collapsing world, really. i'm very lucky.
I always say about Debbie Harry, Penelope Cruz, and Naomi Campbell: I'm gay Gen Z, but I'm not blind
@MusiqueNow excellent. :) debbie's definitely got universal crossover appeal.
@MusiqueNow ps: thanks for all the boosts! <3
yes, all 3 of them do.
Funny story: Considering my dad is jealous of EVERY hot dude in the world ( he expresses it by making snarky jokes), he admitted '#KeanuReeves, if I was like that'.
I forgot to mention, Debbie Harry's also part of the queer community. I never knew that before.
@MusiqueNow she is, indeed. what a well-rounded human being.
Yeah, I watched some video on youtube about queer musicians a few days ago, and was pleasantly surprised she was on the list.
@MusiqueNow gotta' credit your da for his openness. i don't know who my dad fancied. maybe duke ellington, come to think of it. :)
Love her..love these!
@godofbiscuits @DrOinFLA i adore her. thank you for letting me know that you reckon i did her some tiny bit of justice. :)
@kathimmel @DrOinFLA You're welcome. But thank you for posting them and showing her that kind of love. She's a goddess.
@godofbiscuits @DrOinFLA agreed: debbie's out of this world.
@kathimmel I love debbie :))))
@reverend all good folk do. :)
