The Tales Over Cocktails ladies... that's me (Wendy), Astra, and Danielle had the most amazing time chatting with the one and only Debbie Gibson right here in the studio! This was a comprehensive and engaging conversation, better than caffeine, I'm awake!
We dove deep with the celebrated pop star, bestselling author, Broadway performer, and all-around powerhouse. We covered everything: her long career, her personal growth journey, her creative process (including her songwriting 'superpower'!), and, yes, her candid reflections on dating, relationships, and life in the public eye.
Throughout the chat, Debbie gave us all the candid insights on what it was like being a pioneering female artist... a self-contained girl who wrote and produced her own music before young female artists were ever doing this! Debbie still holds the record for being the youngest female artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard Hot 100 number-one single entirely on her own.
She opened up about her evolving views on life and love, and of course, her deep connection to her Long Island roots.
And you know we had to wrap it up with a classic: a fun, rapid-fire Long Island-themed game! We hit all the local nostalgia - from Dr. Horowitz the orthodontist to the East Bay Diner and Roosevelt Field! It was the best!"
