“Blondie: Unseen 1976-1980″ is a collection of photographs from photographer Roberta Bayley, and is a must for Blondie die-hards. Over half of the photos in this book have never been published, and trust me, there are some amazing ones.
Debbie Harry has become an iconic figure due to her look in the late 70’s, and when she was recently asked in a recent interview about her personal style, she gave ALL of the credit to designer and friend Stephen Sprouse. She said that he simply told her what to wear, and as a friend, she trusted him. In the days of the personal celebrity stylists, it’s so refreshing to see someone give credit where credit is due.

Hey Melanie-
How cool is that?? I used to see her around the neighborhood when I lived in NY, but never got to meet her. She really is “cool” personified.
