A drawing of a woman dancing to Ska music, an iconic illustration used by the band The Beat, and another real life picture of a woman dancing in the same position next to Prince Buster who is also dancing. The captions read: 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 $y Real Name: Giovanna Profile: Brigitte Bond was a transgender woman who was a singer, dancer, and a "supervedette”. a term used for the most accomplished artistes in the art of cabaret. A photograph of Brigitte dancing with Prince Buster at Heathrow Airport in London on February 25th, 1964 appeared in the May 19, 1979 issue of "Melody Maker" and inspired Hunt Emerson to use her image as inspiration for The Beat's logo. making her the "original" rude girl.
