You're beautiful.
Today Debbie Harry turns 65, and perhaps what's most surprising is just how well her late '70s/early '80s beauty looks hold up today. In 1979, for instance, Debbie wore this shimmery, smoky green eye makeup palette with coral lip gloss and perfectly flushed cheeks. It's a little punky, but it still looks fresh today. But just how much would Debbie's edgy look cost then in comparison to now? With Read more
A few weeks ago, Rihanna walked the Nickelodeon orange carpet wearing a multitonal hairdo at at the Kids' Choice Awards. We've seen her do the blond and deep brown look before, and she's not alone. As long as there's hair color, two-toned hairstyles will multiply. Check out some other celebrity hair color pairings now. Read more
There are lots of ways to wear bangs, from the swoop, to the baby varieties, to the blunt straight-across-the-forehead assortments. So, let's take a trip back to days past, where all sorts of fringe styles — and lots of hairspray — ruled the looks of the moment. Read more
Recently, I caught a rerun of Paula's Party on the Food Network, where silver-haired TV personality Jay Manuel, of ANTM fame, dished out hair color tips to fellow silver-haired host Paula Deen. If I'm not mistaken, I believe he said he uses a toner by the name of "Silver Lady" to get that distinctive lustrous shade. This got me to thinking about other silvered stars. So, whether you call it Read more
Who better to school a bunch of toddlers on the principles of going punk than Deborah Harry, the legendary lead singer of Blondie? Given the generation gap, these kids have no appreciation for the greatness sitting before them, but that's what makes this group discussion (or peanut butter belly fest) all the more amusing. From "pooping on stage" to the meaning of love and life, Deb breaks it Read more
I'm holding myself from bursting out with some bad "Rapture" rappin', because this week's Bella Donna is the fabulous Debbie Harry. Of course, you probably know her better as Blondie, the name of her band that nonetheless has become her nickname. One of the 20th century's iconic blondes, her '70s platinum hair was punky but accessible—much like her band's music. Before leaping to fame as Read more
Last I checked in with Debbie Harry, the former Blondie front woman was performing on the "Today Show" with Lily Allen. Apparently, she's also been working on a new album, called Necessary Evil and coming out September 25. If this song "Two Times Blue" is any indication, Harry still has a firm understanding of girl power, even if she's old enough to have Kirsten Dunst will play her in an Read more
I used to have a theory that girls who grew up in the '80s identified with either the punk style of Blondie's Debbie Harry or the slick sexiness of Madonna. Now, the two are colliding in an intriguing way: Madonna's 1985 comedy Desperately Seeking Susan is being made into a musical featuring the songs of Blondie. The project is set to premiere this fall in London. No, Madonna won't be a part of Read more
According to Kirsten Dunst, Blondie front-woman Debbie Harry "chose" the actress to play her in an upcoming biopic. Already anticipating naysayers — like me — Dunst told Variety, "She chose me... so anyone who disputes that choice can take it up with her." While I can see the resemblance, I think Debbie Harry has a coolness factor that pretty far outshines any of Kirsten Dunst's qualities. Read more
We caught up with the adorable, easy-going, rainbow-haired Chris Benz before his presentation as he was applying last-minute fixes to his Fall 2011 collection. Mind you, it's about five minutes until his presentation and he's got a pair of scissors in hand, fixing bows and rearranging jewelry. FabSugar: Can you talk to FabSugar and tinker at the same time? Chris Benz: Oh, I love FabSugar! Read more
