Debbie Harry 'flattered' when David Bowie flashed 'notorious' penis

Debbie Harry says her riotous, raunchy rise to stardom was ‘like sex — but nothing was better than heroin’

Debbie Harry’s memoir details how David Bowie flashed his ‘notorious’ penis after scoring cocaine

The Internet Just Shut Down This Sexist Headline About An Icon
Debbie Harry is a singer, songwriter and style icon who’s been called the “queen of cool” – repeatedly. As front-woman of legendary New York City band Blondie, she’s scored six UK number one hits including the stone cold classics “Heart of Glass”, “The Tide Is High” and “Maria”. As an actress, she starred in the original movie version of Hairspray and the cult sci-fi film Videodrome.
Her pioneering career in the music industry – equal parts sexuality and self-determination – was an obvious influence on Madonna, Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani, among others. And yet, a US newspaper decided to tweet its review of her upcoming memoir, Face It, with the sell: “In her memoir, Debbie Harry proves she’s more than just a pretty blonde in tight pants.”
Um, WTF?! Understandably, Twitter quickly took issue with the sexist and reductive way in which Harry’s incredible, multi-decade career was framed. One follower tweeted in response: “Was this written by a penis?”
Another replied: “STOP IT. Seriously?!? Do you write this crap about men? Rhetorical question bc we know the answer.”
Check out some of the most on-point reactions below.

Debbie Harry has recalled the time when David Bowie proudly showed her his penis after she had gifted him a bag of cocaine.
In an extract published by The Sunday Times, the 74-year-old front-woman explained Bowie’s “size was notorious” and that he “loved to pull it out with both men and women”.

“After they did the blow, David pulled out his cock — as if I were the official cock checker or something. Since I was in an all-male band, maybe they figured I really was the cock-check lady.
“David’s size was notorious, and he loved to pull it out with both men and women. It was so funny, adorable and sexy.”
“One time David and Iggy Pop were looking for some blow,” Harry explains in the book.

“Their connection in New York had suddenly died and they were out. A friend had given me a gram, but I had barely touched it. I didn’t care for coke too much — it made me jittery and wired and it affected my throat. So I went upstairs with my vast quantity of cocaine and they just sucked it right up in one swoop.
Harry went on to explain to The Sunday Times how she assumed Bowie was revealing himself to her as a show of thanks for supplying the drugs.
“It was very funny… I didn’t touch it. But I did think, well – very nice. I don’t know, it’s too bad you can’t ask him,” she said.
“I guess I was sort of flattered, you know? He’s one of the great men that I admire in the music world, clearly a genius.”
The book includes Harry detailing other episodes in her life, including that she was raped at knifepoint at her New York home in the 70s, and how she was lucky to evade being kidnapped by notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.
Harry will today set out on a tour to promote the release of her new book, beginning in New York and finishing in Miami on November 20.
