Before there was Blondie, there was a girl and a bottle of bleach

Before Blondie...
Dreaming Debbie

A fact few know is that Debbie Harry grew up as a teen in a mid-size town with no inkling she would someday be a famous singer.

Sunset Valley was your typical midwestern town, complete with a nuclear power plant, sports stadium, army base, and a beach. To Debbie, it was home and lauching pad, all in one.

Her mom kept their ramshackle house free of pests and boys (not an easy task on boths counts). Debbie was a lovely girl, or as Shirley Manson (lead singer of the band Garbage) would describe her 30 years later:

But, that's a story that everyone knows and knows quite well. This tale chronicles the early years of Debbie Harry--before the band, CBGBs, the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Chris Stein, Andy Warhol, and unparalled success as a pop icon. This is a Debbie that few know and even fewer remember--a Debbie with aspiration, who cannot resist swiping stuff from neighbor's houses. A bottle blonde who is three steps ahead of the boys and one ahead of the law. Before MTV Debbie, there was ... Dreaming Debbie.

Bet you didn't know, Debbie was a straight A student! Yep, she dilegently worked her homework assignments all through high school. Her mom works at the town paper and they don't make much money, which is why Debbie is sitting on the floor.

Yes, their dwelling is modest and sparsely decorated, a far cry from the opulent life Debbie was destined to live.

But don't feel bad for Debbie, she took part in a rich variety of activities, such as modern art. Here she is discussing a piece with local tycoon Thorton Wolff.

They seem to be hitting it off well. Of course, he's totally in love with her, what man wouldn't be? Debbie has her eye on him, he has the bucks and connections to help her escape the dreary life of Sunset Valley.

Like any teen, Debbie frequently catches hell from Mom for staying out too late. It seems, according to Mom, she is the only one bringing an income into their household and Debbie is the only one spending any discretionary income. Thorton is looking better and better...

Mom usually turns in early, leaving young Deb to watch old movies on the TV late into the night....

... as well as the occasional night out....

Debauchery has a bitter price, young Deb soons learns.

No way, Neal's got a Sims Blog.

That's an illness.

What the ...?

Ah, i remember her back in 1981 what a beautiful woman,even now at 61 or 62 she still looks good

Onkel Neal · 06-11-09, 08:48 AM

Who cleans the mess? Mom, naturally?

Mom tries to be patient with her daughter. "You need to settle down and use your talents, Deb," she implores. But Debbie just stares off vacantly...

I think Neal has finally lost it. Sim? Are you living an alternative life style via the Sims

Onkel Neal · 06-11-09, 09:16 AM

No, of course not. Don't be silly!

I'm just examing the life of a pop star in Sims 3...

Onkel Neal · 06-11-09, 09:22 AM

After a particularly rough row with the old lady, Debbie is forced to find an alternative sleeping place. We end up with a pre-punk version of Goldilocks and the three bears.

The Andrew family asks Debbie to leave. But before she does, she hones her ninja skills on some of their furniture.

Then it occurs to her: there's a natural solution to her problem. Falling back on one of her five essential traits, kleptomania , she filches some property to finance a new scheme she's come up with to make her life more bearable.

My girls play Sims. Not online as they are to young yet. They like the game and it is a smash hit.

I love the vomiting in the bathroom. To much drink or is Debbie purging?
