Debutante

A debutante or deb (from the French débutante, "female beginner") is a girl or young lady from an aristocratic or upper class family who has reached the age of maturity and, as a new adult, is introduced to society at a formal "debut" presentation. Originally, it meant the young woman was eligible to marry, and part of the purpose was to display her to eligible bachelors and their families with a view to marriage within a select upper class circle. Debutantes may be recommended by a distinguished committee or sponsored by an established member of elite society.

Debut presentations vary by regional culture and are also frequently referenced as "debutante balls," "cotillion balls" or "coming-out" parties. The male equivalent is often referred to as "beautillion ball." A lone debutante might have her own debut, or she might share it with a sister or other close relative. Modern debutante balls are often charity events: the parents of the debutante donate a certain amount of money to the designated cause, and the invited guests pay for their tickets. These balls may be elaborate formal affairs and involve not only "debs" but junior debutantes, escorts and ushers, flower girls and pages as well.

Debutante (Cait Brennan album)

Debutante is the debut full-length album released by Cait Brennan, released on January 22, 2016.

The album was co-produced by Brennan and Fernando Perdomo, a producer and rock artist who also co-produced Linda Perhacs' widely acclaimed 2014 album The Soul of All Natural Things for Asthmatic Kitty records. Perdomo and Brennan met as fellow artists on the International Pop Overthrow festival in 2012, and quickly became friends; Brennan appears in Perdomo's "Smile" music video, and Perdomo has played in Brennan's touring band.

The entire 12-song album was recorded in five days. Brennan funded the initial production of the album through Kickstarter and exceeded her funding goal in just 69 hours. During the campaign, Brennan received social media support from Laura Jane Grace, Neil Gaiman, James Urbaniak, and John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats. Brennan dedicated the album to Harry Nilsson, who she described to the Arizona Republic as "probably my biggest and most heartfelt influence."

    Debutante

    by: Her Bright Skies

    One for the money
    I said, two for a dime
    Alright, let's go!
    I met a man the other day
    He said that I should change my ways
    So, I turned my face to the clouds
    When I looked down again, he was well on his way
    Well, it's amazing how different is sounds when your mouth's above the clouds (yeah)
    Said I'd be coming back, but I might stay here for a while
    I wanna live in the sky-y-y
    I wanna, I wanna, I wanna hear the Angels cry (yeah)
    I'm gonna, I'm gonna look down at the malice while I'm high
    I wanna, I'm gonna
    Just let me say goodbye
    And I will hold their heads, so watch them die
    I met a girl the other day
    She said that things will be okay (yeah)
    So, I reached out to grab her hand
    And then I asked her to stay
    We are golden now (as we move from the ground)
    We have fallen now (don't look back, don't look down)
    The world cannot find me here
    I choose what to see and what to hear
    I wanna live in the sky-y-y
    I wanna, I wanna, I wanna hear the Angels cry (yeah)
    I'm gonna, I'm gonna look down at the malice while I'm high
    I wanna, I'm gonna
    Just let me say goodbye
    And I will hold their heads, so watch them die
    The world cannot find us here
    We choose what to see and what to hear
    We're closer, we're getting there
    The world cannot find us here
    Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
    I wanna, I'm gonna
    Just let me say goodbye
    And I will hold their heads
    I wanna live in the sky-y-y
    I wanna, I wanna, I wanna hear the Angels cry
    I'm gonna, I'm gonna look down at the malice while I'm high (yeah)
    Just let me say goodbye
    And I will hold their heads, so watch them die
    One for the money
    I said, two for a dime
