My dear, dear friend Dexo and I had coffee in London a while back. He asked me why I was posting nekked pictures of Beth Ditto all the time. The reasons why I do so are to be found below. Becasue she, and her band The Gossip rocks like fuck! They are here, they are queer and we loves 'em! Please find 'Listen Up' and 'I Will Always Love You' below. .
Beth Ditto of The Gossip is something so refreshing as a woman and a rockstar without looking like a fucking Barbie. She is big, bold and beautiful instead. And with hair under her arms. And a lesbian. )of course she is, haha.)
In todays The Sun she talks about her antagonists and what they say about her. She says:
“I read things where people call me a ‘fat ugly b*tch’ and, you know what? I am a fat ugly b*tch and it’s amazing! I feel like ugly is beautiful. I am at the point where I can take that as a real compliment. If normal people don’t get it and aren’t open to it then that’s fine. I have lots of people who understand.”
