Rocking More Than Music
The first time I heard about Beth Ditto it had nothing to do with her music. It was her amazing nude cover for NME magazine. Anything positive to do with the "fatosphere" and I'm in love. Ditto posing nude and looking hot while doing it is definitely positive.
Since then I've been following her career, again, mostly the none music side. She is a beautiful plus size beauty who has an interesting clothing style that has recently led to her own clothing line at Evans.UK (more on that later) and just happens to be able to carry a tune.
Beth Ditto is becoming more than a music icon. She is a role model for self esteem at any size, she's a successful business woman, a designer, fashion maven and she happens to rock the tunes (check out my favorite videos below).
This lens is dedicated to the amazing Beth Ditto (it is still being finely tuned).
