Vintage Fashion Inspiration-Debbie Harry

P.S. she’s a feminist too.  When asked if she is a feminist her response was “How can one be a woman and not be a feminist? That’s my question.”  Rock on Debbie.

What I like about her style is that it was low key & ultra feminine.  Often she paired thigh high boots with a men’s shirt or a t-shirt dress.  I liked the bright colors she wore in her clothing and her make-up.  Bright pink lips, bright pink eye shadow yep, it worked for her.  Oh, and her idea to wear a jean jacket backwards was just brilliant.  Whether the photos are in black & white or color her look is amazing.  Here is some vintage fashion inspiration a la Debbie Harry:

For even more Debbie and vintage fashion I highly recommend John Waters’ Hairspray.

Covers That I Loved Originally

I adore covers of oldies that I love.  I am particularly enjoy covers of male songs by female singers.  I love things that are extreme opposites.  With the cold weather I’ve been spending more time inside with a space heater on, getting stoned, and listening to music.  These are my favorite covers of originals that I love:

This is the song that started it all.  I was listening to Le Tigre and The Bird and The Bee, and there were songs on both animals that had this beat that reminded me of this song.  I couldn’t think of the song though!  I was obviously thinking of something early 90’s.  It finally popped into my head while listening to Le Tigre.  Bonnie fucking Raitt. I can’t make you love me.  I instantly youtubed it.

Which led me to this amazing cover of it by Adele.  So great.

What kind of stereotypical sexist bullshit is this John & Daryl???

You would have thought this would have started it.

A classic.

I love male & female duets.  Hello, Donny and Marie haha.

Have you heard?

The ultimate.
