Beth Ditto gets naked


While this may not exactly be what I wanted to see at 6am (eastern time), I like the message that comes along with it. Gossip singer Beth Ditto, who obviously is not the next Paris Hilton, hits the cover of LOVE magazine wearing nothing but a smi--nevermind, she's not even smiling. Anyway, she talks about what it's like to be in a woman's body and have all these expectations.

If there’s anyone to blame for size zero, it’s not women. Blame gay men who work in the fashion industry who want these women as dolls. Men don’t know what it feels like to be a woman and be expected to look a particular way. The Beckhams are part of the machine; Paris Hilton is part of the machine.

Kudos to you, Beth. But...could you do it with clothes on next time, please?
