Debra Rapoport, Play ‘Til It Hurts

g63a6839-copy
At 72-years-old I don’t need anything. Frugality is fun. This shirt was gifted to me from my friend who found it at a thrift shop. I made my necklace out of recycled cloth tape and a piece of found metal that I have had for over 40 years. I have been working with found objects and debris for over 50 years. I’m ready to change my name from Debra to Debris. We have got to create our own fun and joy. Come AS IS—Always Seeing Your Individual Self. Dress to de-stress and play ’til it hurts. Consumerism is the American nightmare and creativity and joy is the way to fulfillment.” – Artist, Debra Rapoport

Meri 73 and Jerry 78
San Francisco meets New York in 1979 at an I. Magnin Union Square fashion show.

It was LOVE at first sight.Her City girl style and his New York flair. We had everythingin common. Family, fashion, likes and dislikes. Meri growing up in San Francisco and Jerry in the Big Apple.

The most important thing is that we realized what we loved about each other.Nothing is perfect in this complicated world. We always remember why we are together and lean on each other and hold ourselves up. With respect and kindness. It always seems to work out. Never give up.That IS the formula for lasting love.

And here we are 38 years later friends first and lovers forever.
