Lady Gaga interviews Debbie Harry in Harper's Bazaar

Lady Gaga interviews Debbie Harry about her upcoming album, being an icon, and that famous hair color, in Harper's Bazaar's September issue, on newsstands August 16. Full interview here.

Lady Gaga: It's hard to make records that you are happy with artistically and then be aware that you have a record label and it must be commercially sold. Tell me more about “China Shoes.” I actually started to cry when I first heard it.

Debbie Harry: You're an artist, and you're feeling things and giving them your own interpretation; we embrace it, and the emotion touches us, and then we apply it to our lives. I mean, even jokingly, you know how women feel about their shoes [laughs]. It becomes very important.

LG: It made me very, very emotional. It reminds me so much of my life, especially when you mention Brooklyn, because I live in Brooklyn. It reminds me of how sometimes I feel that moments in my life are interrupted because I'm so dedicated to my work. I often feel like my shoes are the only part of me that know what I'm doing all the time because they're always with me. There's this one pair of boots that I always wear, and sometimes when I'm so alone in my hotel room,niceedhardyshoe and footwear available from Choice online at unbeatable prices with free next day delivery. I look at them and I think how they really are the only things in my life that know exactly what I've been through all day. So is that what the song was about,Nike Air trainers began life as the wintershirts back in 1987. or was there a different meaning?

DH: I try to put a core of real sensitivity and make the words childish to just say simply, This person is going away, and I'm missing them very much. I'm not going to recover unless they come back soon, and I'm leaving this note in the back of a book because I know you're going to read it when you are traveling.

LG: That's so funny because I had a lover who was a writer,Buy popularjeans of high quality and low price now and get fast shipping to you within one week. and I used to leave him notes in his book, so it meant a lot to me.Wearing shippingshoes is an experience in fashion fun. Everyone will comment on your effortlessly hip Hardy shirt. I know it sounds so crazy that the lyric would fit perfectly to my life, but that song was just really beautiful.

DH: I'm loving it too, and we actually do it now in the show. I've seen one of your shows, actually. I went to the Garden. It was fantastic.

LG: Oh, you were at the Garden? Actually, it's probably best that I didn't know you were there because I would have been too nervous.

LG: Now, this is a more over-arching question,Profile of the Canadian artist wih an online gallery of jeans, but are you aware of the tremendous effect you had on women when you dyed the underside of your blonde hair black? Because when I experiment with a different blonde, like I did that very yellow blonde and a teal blonde and a lavender blonde, I put a black root in because of you.

DH: I did it for practical purposes because I was always doing my own hair and I didn't think I could do the back. But I ended up really liking having the back be this sort of dark side of the moon. Because when I was in school, that was one of my nicknames: Moon. It seemed perfect, that here I was with the bright side of the moon and the dark side of the moon.

Grace Coogan, 103; stayed lively as a retiree in Georgia

Friends and family called her “Amazing Grace." Retired Avon schoolteacher Grace V. Coogan wore high heels well into her 90s,It got to the point where some women would wear fashionairmax if they knew Monsieur Masseur was coming to a meeting. still smoked a cigarette every day with her cup of coffee, and lived to be 103.

A former resident of Milton and Hull, she retired to Chamblee, Ga., to be closer to her daughter and grandchildren, and she cut quite a figure in a city where the median age is 28. She wore her favorite leopard prints, spoke with a Boston accent, and was still driving her white Cadillac until an accident at age 95 left her with no insurer.

Deep in the heart of Atlanta Braves territory, Mrs. Coogan kept up with the Boston Red Sox, drank rum and Coke, and once danced on the bar at a local club, according to her daughter, Barbara Mae of Alpharetta, Ga.

“She packed a lot of living in 103 years," said her grandson Peter A. Foley of Marietta, Ga. “She was so conversant and fluent in the language of sports. She loved the Red Sox and hated the Yankees, just like every Bostonian is willed to do."

Mrs. Coogan died at her home on July 28, a month after breaking her ankle in a fall and becoming bed-ridden.

Born Grace V. Kopple on Jan. 17, 1908, in Boston,These wholesalejeans are a complete collection of every model available. Mrs. Coogan was the eldest daughter of Frederick,Whether you going to practice and need athletic shoes and a sport bag or just lounging at the house youredhardy and PUMA clothing have got you covered. a police officer, and Mae. Her mother died at age 23 from tuberculosis, when Grace was 4 years old and her sister 2. They were raised mostly by their grandmother, according to the family.

She earned her undergraduate degree in education in 1929 from Teachers College in Boston. Her first marriage, to George Campbell, ended soon after the birth of their daughter, Barbara.

When World War II broke out, the divorced mother longed to join the Navy but did not want to leave her daughter, she told her family. She went to work in the offices of shipbuilders at the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy instead.

“I was a teenager when she worked there, and she really enjoyed it," said Barbara. “It was doing something for her country,Examine our edhardy here. she felt."

After the war, she worked for more than a decade as a lab technician for the Carter Ink Co. in Cambridge and also earned her master’s degree in teaching.

She taught elementary school in Avon for 20 years, teaching mostly third-graders. She retired from the Robert F. Crowley Elementary School in Avon in 1975.

She remarried in 1961, after friends introduced her to John R. “Jack" Coogan, a draftsman for Stone & Webster of Boston. He died of cancer in 1970 at age 53.

“Theirs was a love affair," said grandson Peter, recalling many Thanksgiving dinners when Jack donned a white apron and carved the turkey. “I know Nana thought of him every day in the 41 years since he passed. Bringing up his name always brought a smile to Nana’s face."

Mrs. Coogan made friends easily and maintained a wide social circle, playing bridge regularly into her 90s, according to her family.

“Her social life was very important to her. She had lots of friends, and she loved to tell jokes," her daughter said.

For several decades, Mrs. Coogan had a cottage in Hull, the locus of many family memories.Clothing designer Erin Fetherston stood nearby wearing a green-and-black ensemble from her spring collection above a pair of hoganscarpe. Foley recalled how the adults played endless hands of cribbage there, while he and his siblings struggled to behave so that Nana would take them to Paragon Park, the amusement park on Nantasket Beach. The park was closed in 1984.

Erica Rose moves into the Bachelor Pad

Erica Rose is nervous.

The socialite, University of Houston law student and reality princess returns to TV tonight on season 2 of the Bachelor Pad, a love and/or money spinoff of The Bachelor. The show pits 18 contestants against each other in a race for $250,000 and another shot at fame. Er, love. There will be challenges and dates and, yes, rose ceremonies.

Just last week, Rose tweeted that she was “stressed and worried” about how the show would be edited.

“It's out of my hands. But I feel like there are enough villains.Shop for high quality shopforshoes products online and get worldwide delivery. I don't need to be a villain,” she says. “I can't think of any times where I acted dramatic or that over the top. But until it's airing, I won't be happy until I see the reactions.

“With all the drama going on in the house and everything, I just have fun and find everything entertaining. That's kind of how I survive in all those crazy reality TV shows.”

Rose not only survived, she became one of the franchise's breakout stars, thanks to her outrageously spoiled antics on The Bachelor: Rome way back in 2006. (“I don't see any maids. Do I have to hire one of the other girls to be my maid?”) It led to a slew of talk show appearances and a stint on You're Cut Off, VH1's rich-bitch rehab program.

She credits a pair of appearances last year on Dr. Phil with truly turning her attitude around. Bachelor Pad, then, is a chance for Rose to reintroduce herself.Replica Designer manoloblahnikstore on hot sale!

“I've grown and changed a lot in the last five years. I was 23 during my (Bachelor) season, and now I'm 28,” she says. “Being in law school has really changed me a lot. Being cut off has also changed me a lot. All I can hope is that I won't come across in a negative way.

“I've had to spend the last five years living that down. I thought I didn't care about what people said,Other high-end car brands asicsshoes that have broached the watch market include Ferrari and Aston Martin. but after going through it, I realize I do. I get tired of people saying mean things on blogs and insulting my appearance because they don't like me.”

She likens the new show to “summer camp” — with hot tubs and high heels, of course. And yes, the tiara is back. But only when truly necessary.

“I didn't wear it all the time. It just depended on my mood and my outfit,” Rose says. “I felt like at first I had to wear it because that's how people remember me. But after awhile, I would just wear it when I wanted that extra confidence or when it was the right accessory.

“Sometimes when I wear the tiara, I feel like I get too much attention. The wrong attention.bay sensing and enforcement edhardyshoes. People want to have a conversation about it.”

The new Bachelor Pad cast includes high-wattage personalities from Bachelor/Bachelorette seasons past, including Justin “Rated R” Rego, Gia Allemand, Kasey Kahl and Michelle Money. Topping the bill are Jake Pavelka and jilted ex-fiancée Vienna Girardi, who is now engaged to Kahl. Girardi was in Houston last month for a nose job by none other than Dr. Franklin Rose, Erica's dad. (I predict lots of yelling.)

“The show is very, very, very dramatic. But for once, I wasn't in the central cause of the drama,The next omelet you eat newjordans will kill you.” Rose says. “There was always something happening. At times, it could get kind of annoying. I'd joke around with other cast members. We'd say, ‘It's the Jake and Vienna Show.' They were really always fighting.”
