❤ HEART OF GLASS: DEBORAH HARRY ❤

blonde bombshell deborah harry. an icon of the late 70's/early 80's new wave punk band 'blondie'. her two-toned blonde hair, often disheveled over her eyes and perfectly shaped brows. her short shorts, toned body, oozing a sexuality that was easy and not forced. a voice as memorable and gorgeous as her looks + often spotted side by side with other punk icons like joan jett. a woman paving her way through the music scene and breaking down barriers. cool + free. june first is your birthday ms. harry. the cedra sessions salutes you for being a renegade, rebel, and making a mark for women. still rocking after all these years. 

"that was always what i felt was the beauty of rock 'n' roll, it was entertainment and showbiz yet it had the idea of the voice of the people, it had an essence to it which was socially motivated. not that i want to change to world, you know? but it was sort of relevant to real life, it involved the real essence of poetry or the real essence of fine art. But it was also entertainment. that was the real vitality." >>----> d. harry

☼ ☼ HONEYBEES FALLING: PLAYLIST EIGHT ☼ ☼

the summer solstice has come and gone, although it has been feeling like summer here for months. today the thermometer keeps climbing closer to triple digits and we are all doing what we can to keep cool and keep the crankiness at bay. i just spent the morning looking at the photography of the very talented harper smith. the images bring about so many memories and feelings about sweet summertime. sparks from fireworks in the night sky, dipping into creek waters, short shorts, bikinis, and bike rides through dusk's embrace. that has inspired this playlist. i'm taking this playlist out under the willow tree in the backyard with my book and some sun tea. won't you join me?

“i believe that we, that this planet, hasn't seen its golden age. everybody says its finished ... art's finished, rock and roll is dead, god is dead. fuck that! this is my chance in the world. i didn't live back there in mesopotamia, i wasn't there in the garden of eden, i wasn't there with emperor han, i'm right here right now and i want now to be the golden age ...if only each generation would realize that the time for greatness is right now when they're alive ... the time to flower is now.”
