Did you know this iconic ska silhouette is a trans woman and ska singer named Brigitte Bond? The English Beat were inspired to draw her from a photo of her dancing with Prince Buster and it ended up being the inspiration for the now iconic “Rude Girl” silhouette. We’ve always been around and we’ve always been creative icons 💜🏳️‍⚧️🤘🏻

@miriamrobern @buffyleigh #AltText two panels, the first is album cover art for ska band The Beat, featuring a checkerboard and a stylized graphic of a woman dancing. The second is the original photo of the actual woman dancing with another person.
