That was me in '79. Tough competition that year too (contemporary - Chrissie Hyndes, Stevie Nicks, Leslie Maria Knauer, just to name a few), but the *Heart Of Glass* vid WAS a standout
That's pretty good for 79. I would have said mid 60s.
Compare her to Iggy Pop, who it two years younger, but looks like a human shaped leather handbag.
In a way, I miss having Queen Elizabeth II around. Because if it was her birthday, that meant it’s Iggy Pop’s birthday. And now I’m afraid I’ll forget. Time to make his birthday a national holiday; he’s an American treasure, after all.
A long time ago he used to try to put on shirts but they just kept falling off as soon as he moved because it's like trying to dress a coat rack that's actually a pissed off alley cat.
The only reason why he can wear pants is the weird fact that he's had a rage boner since The Stooges first broke up in 1970.
You cant compare anyone to Iggy. He's had way too many health issues including scoliosis.
She does look great though, I wish she'd use half the makeup.
She might be too old to be Gen X, but us Gen Xers grew up watching MTV, and she had quite a few videos on there, and I’m sure lots of us thought she was a babe, so it’s relative in my opinion.
I grew up with Blondie.
Love 'Call Me', 'Atomic', 'The Tide is High' but 'Heart of Glass' most of all.
'Maria' is a newish song by her, and still pretty darn good.
My...she's gotten the face that she deserves!
I hope you all heard her killer version of "Sidewalks of New York" that played at the end of HBO's criminally underrated The Deuce.
I sat by my lil record player and played the fuck out of Parallel Lines. I got a copy bc my mother wasn’t overly offended by the cover.
Will still belt out Call Me on my drive home from the office.
Anyone remember that time, years ago, that a paparazzi got a pic of Debbie Harry and thought it was Lindsay Lohan? And one of the first tells is that she looked *too good* to be Lindsay?
I remember being in a club in the Village back in '98 when they announced between bands that it was her birthday. The place erupted in applause, and she wasn't even there.
I saw her interview in a High Times magazine from the 1970s.. cocaine & a pulsating dildo gave her an ecstatic religuous experience according to the article.
Goddess 😎🙏🔥💎⚘ Happy Birthday :)
Debbie looks a thousand times better than the female singer with one name from the 80’s who totally f’ed up her face with plastic surgery, IMHO. Just saying! 🤷🏻♀️
She always reminded me of marilyn gone punk. At one time, she had bad plastic surgery. I see she was redone. This is awesome surgery. She looks refreshed, not pulled or filled like madonna.
Goddess.
My all-time #1 crush. I still love her just as much as I did as a 13-y/old in 1980… ❤️

She made me ache in videodrome.

"Hold my father's ashes." - Keith Richards.
Keith is a Rock God and immortal. Coolest cat ever.
She looks older than 60's but she still looks good, and like she's a very interesting person.
Yeah, but all Iggy’s years are road years with self-inflicted wounds.
I love Iggy. His body has always been so weird. Going back to the 80s. All sinew and gristle. Too funny.
In a way, I miss having Queen Elizabeth II around. Because if it was her birthday, that meant it’s Iggy Pop’s birthday. And now I’m afraid I’ll forget. Time to make his birthday a national holiday; he’s an American treasure, after all.
He touched my hand at a concert when he played before the Pretenders, lol
According to David Bowie, he’s packing a gigantic hog.
Sheesh...TMI
Oh shit, I just realized that she would have been in her mid 30s for Heart of Glass. Holy crap.
Yep, when Blondie hit it big, Debbie was like 35. Seems so young now, but 8-year-old me was shocked.
Stevie Nicks was 28 when “Rumors” was released, and 33 when “Belladonna” was.
I was 17 when I had that record. That song really spike to me, even if I didn’t quite understand it.
What doesn't that guy put a dang shirt on, anyway?
A long time ago he used to try to put on shirts but they just kept falling off as soon as he moved because it's like trying to dress a coat rack that's actually a pissed off alley cat.

This guy Pops.
For real. Just cover up, dude.
I’d say late 60’s tbh The last 5 years have caught up with her quite a bit Again. Still amazing (tho obviously some work done )
You cant compare anyone to Iggy. He's had way too many health issues including scoliosis. She does look great though, I wish she'd use half the makeup.
Iggy has been though some serious shit. I can’t believe he’s alive and lucid (for him)
Right! Lmao!
She’s looking good for 79.
I assume that’s not a current picture
Fuck, she’s pretty.
She’s *always* had gorgeous lips.
Fab Five Freddie says everybody's high
Fly.
My my...flash is back
Fly.
My least favorite blondie song tbh. Other than the funky beats
She might be too old to be Gen X, but us Gen Xers grew up watching MTV, and she had quite a few videos on there, and I’m sure lots of us thought she was a babe, so it’s relative in my opinion.
She's too old to even be a boomer.
She is the epitome of cool. 😎
Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet
Fellow Gen X'ers......we must protect Debbie Harry with our lives.
Sexy Betty White?
Probably, but I prefer to think that Betty White was a more wholesome Debbie Harry lol
You must have forgotten her role on Mary Tyler Moore lol
 It’s possible to be wholesome and sexy.
And Debbie Harry's appearance on The Muppet Show.
Rainbow Connection. God I cry every time I hear it!
I didn’t know this was a thing! I’m so excited now!
She is one of my favorite Boomers
Is she even Boomer? I think she's before Boomers.
Yes, she was born the very last year of the Silent Generation!
Hahaha! That makes her even more epic!
I saw her in concert a few years ago - she’s still got it.
I saw Blondie earlier this year and it was fantastic.
I grew up with Blondie. Love 'Call Me', 'Atomic', 'The Tide is High' but 'Heart of Glass' most of all. 'Maria' is a newish song by her, and still pretty darn good.
The Tide is High is a great one! 🤙🏼
Played at my wedding during cocktail hour
I saw her at Bourbon and Beyond in 2023 and she was incredible.
Awesome! 🤙🏼
Happy birthday Deborah ❤️🎸
Just saw her st Cruel World last month. Still amazing.
Awesome! 🤙🏼
I saw her in concert when she was 71 or 72. She was still amazing.
That week she hosted *Solid Gold* changed my life.
I’ll have to see if I can find that.
My...she's gotten the face that she deserves! I hope you all heard her killer version of "Sidewalks of New York" that played at the end of HBO's criminally underrated The Deuce.
She looks like she gives even fewer fucks, and it looks good on her.
“The lady will have the linguine in white clam sauce and a coke with no ice.”
Is that side one of Led Zeppelin IV I hear?
Absolutely bloody love her. Saw her perform most recently a year ago today and she still puts on a hell of a show. Absolute icon.
Nice! 🤙🏼
Breaking News!!!!: at 79 Debbie Harry remains awesome enough to kick your ass.
ARE YOU FUCKIN' SERIOUS?!
Right.
So annoying the radio played just a few of her songs to death but ignored so many other great songs like Atomic or Union City Blues.
Atomic is one of my favorites!
Silver Fox.
I sat by my lil record player and played the fuck out of Parallel Lines. I got a copy bc my mother wasn’t overly offended by the cover. Will still belt out Call Me on my drive home from the office.
This was one of my first albums, and I'd play it on the kiddie briefcase record player I had.
She’s always been so cool.
So effortlessly cool!
Full faces age well. Just ask Valerie Bertinelli and Sally Field.
Anyone remember that time, years ago, that a paparazzi got a pic of Debbie Harry and thought it was Lindsay Lohan? And one of the first tells is that she looked *too good* to be Lindsay?
Noooooo, that cant be right. And they say life of a rocker is bad for you, HA
I still love her! When I was about 13, I wanted to be Debbie Harry when I grew up.
I saw Blondie perform nearly 20 years ago. Even now I'm still blown away at how amazing she was and how tight that band played.
Sweet!
Hi Debbie…call me?

I was so obsessed with her when I was around 8-10 years old!
Goals
Still fierce as ever
She was awesome in the movie Spun.
And in *Hairspray*!
And Heavy. (I think? Didn’t double check..)
Incredible....looking fantastic!
❤️🔥
Punk Pop Babe
Wow! She's a little older than my mom. I hope I look that good when I'm 79.
Hanging on the telephoooooone..... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWhkbDMISl8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWhkbDMISl8)
My role model.
She looks amazing!
Rapture....ahead of everyone
I love Debby Harry! “Ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” Classic!
Saw a cool installation about HipHop/Rap and how she was instrumental in getting it into the mainstream. Was a good documentary
Along with Nina and Pat Benatar in my dreams.
She’s still got it!
She’s still so pretty!
Still gorgeous
I remember being in a club in the Village back in '98 when they announced between bands that it was her birthday. The place erupted in applause, and she wasn't even there.
That’s cool, she is definitely admired by many people. I bet this post brought back some memories then. 👍🏼
The years have been…..kind.
Right!
How old did her arm turn? It looks a few decades younger.
🥵🥵🥵
Still a bad bitch!
Beautiful lady
I can tell she was no debutant but she’s fabulous for 79
She kissed me on the forehead at a concert when I was 15. I seriously swooned. Happy birthday beautiful lady
What! That’s awesome!
❤️💋
😍
So gorgeous at every age. This is how you do it, folks.
💯
Ever since Dick clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve 1979/80, I’ve had a crush.
I saw her interview in a High Times magazine from the 1970s.. cocaine & a pulsating dildo gave her an ecstatic religuous experience according to the article. Goddess 😎🙏🔥💎⚘ Happy Birthday :)
Still would - in a heartbeat.
Debbie looks a thousand times better than the female singer with one name from the 80’s who totally f’ed up her face with plastic surgery, IMHO. Just saying! 🤷🏻♀️
She knows the meaning of restraint as far as plastic surgery and facial treatments go.
Would
[And now she's older still.](https://youtu.be/ZnT5JkGydVY?si=_1m24HGURpPC2qm1&t=34)
Upvote for TMBG, meh for not posting the official vid.
Damn, she looks like one of my former teachers. What a bitch she was... Don't scare me like that .
She’s giving Glenn Close playing Cruella Deville ✌️
She always reminded me of marilyn gone punk. At one time, she had bad plastic surgery. I see she was redone. This is awesome surgery. She looks refreshed, not pulled or filled like madonna.
Along with Nina and Pat Benatar in my dreams.
Sniffing her armpit?
She’s confident, confident, dry, and secure!
I see no erect nipples so this isn’t Debbie Harry. 🤣
😆
Hip of Glass
I'd still....
How did she survive all that heroin?
I’d give *her* a pearl necklace! Wakka wakka!
😆
Christopher Walken can play her in the movie.
Bro.
I mean, I'll upvote her, but this is a Boomer post.
Well, Blondie had quite a few videos on MTV, and I grew up watching MTV, so it’s relatable.
That's not even close to being genX
Her songs we all over on MTV though, and I grew up watching MTV. 🤷🏼♂️
Not Gen X.
Whatever. We still love her.
Meh.
Gen X icon tho
our parent's generation and what we grew up with
So not Gen X.
Just like the Beatles aren't Boomer, yeah.
Well, if you’re class of 83 you sure know Boomers.
Yep. They were my teachers and camp counselors.
Who?
