Debbie Harry of Blondie posing with a photograph of her (by bandmate Chris Stein) at the opening of an exhibition of Stein’s photographs in New York City on April 4, 1982. She holds a “Debbie in Different Moods” doll. The exhibition marked the launch of Stein’s book “Making Tracks: the Rise of Blondie.”

It’s a Barbie knock-off fashion doll (her clothes form her torso, so her knees are jointed to her skirt), you couldn’t change her clothes, but you could change her moods. Unlike Barbie who came with a wardrobe, Debbie came with interchangeable heads, each one conveying a different mood: HAPPY, SAD, or FURIOUS.
