Pat Maginess: Private-Eye

Hard Shelled Detective Fiction by Edward Piercy

Debbie and Bill

,





I was saving this photo of singer Debbie Harry
and writer William S. Burroughs for one of my
Internet Junk Drawer posts. But I decided it
deserved a post of its own.


I don't have any documentation on the photo
but from the backdrop I would place it at
about the time of Eat to the Beat (1979).

This video is not available in your country, blah, blah, blah....
I will find some :raider: version.... :devil:
It could be 1979, maybe a few years later. I liked her a lot :up:

Wow, I've never seen her with brown hair, always blond. I think I like it blond. My son was madly in love with her. I think he was about 14 at the time.

She even looks good with no makeup.

@ Darko.

Ah that's too bad. We've talked about that kind of thing before yet still it always frustrates me.


@ Pam.

"I think he was about 14 at the time."

I think I was about 24 at the time. p: Didn't make any difference though, with her I could have been 54. Come to think of it, I am 54. LMAO.

I like her with the blond hair too but I have to admit she makes a pretty good dark brunette temptress in that vid.

Thanks for adding that, Tomster. That's from the same set as "Dreaming".

Denise?

thetomster 6. July 2009, 18:37

edwardpiercy 6. July 2009, 18:45

Ah, that makes more sense. :D

thetomster 6. July 2009, 18:49

:D yeah ... hm, wondering if I knew a girl named Denise at that time ... :rolleyes:

I always considered Debbie Harris one of my primary crushes through time. And William S. Burroughs as one of my primary mindblows.

Strange couple.

gdare 6. July 2009, 21:48

Dirk, no problem, I have found it next minute :devil:

edwardpiercy 6. July 2009, 22:14

"Strange couple."

That was my thought also.

Allan, have you ever seen the movie Videodrome? There's a scene in that where Debbie gets with James Woods and they....well, you know. p:

ricewood 6. July 2009, 22:22

Now, how should I know? :wink:

No, I never saw that one. Strange couple too?

edwardpiercy 7. July 2009, 00:11

Well, yeah. Debbie's character is a little kinky in that one. But supposedly it's all because of this underground, mind control cable channel called Videodrome.

edwardpiercy 7. July 2009, 01:37

You know I just tried to play the vid on my phone and got one of these "not available on mobile" notices. What the hell is with that one anyway?

ellinidata 7. July 2009, 01:38

Debbie Harris looked great no matter what color her hair was!!
actually she would have looked good even with no hair! :heart:

OK I admit I always loved the woman!



this couple
proves that oposites attract!

thanks for sharing Eddie!

Burroughs was gay, but I wouldn't put it past him especially with Debbie.

If you want I can send you some photos of bald Natalie Portman. Those are pretty hot. :devil:

ricewood 7. July 2009, 05:41

Yes, Burroughs was gay - and so much else as well. But he wrote some cool stuff.

Natalie Portman! Do you know the feeling when you see a woman that's actually too pretty? So pretty it's too much perfectness for one day? That's Natalie Portman.

The brick wall is classic 1880's NY girder infill. The bricks became more even in height by the turn of the century.

edwardpiercy 7. July 2009, 13:29

@ 53north

That certainly wins the trivia contest for today. :lol:

I suppose it could have been a lot of clubs, but the one most associated with Blondie during those years was CBGBs.
