What Were You Thinking?

Bite me like a black widow Beth Ditto

Listen on

Episode notes

Feminist. Frontwoman. Queer icon. Beth Ditto gets into her relationship with fashion with Henry. How did her size affect her relationship with clothes? Why did she originally have a snooty attitude towards fashion? And what was she thinking when she was stood on set nakey nakey nakey for those magazine covers?

Beth has a certain naivety when it comes to her style, she talks about not being aware of building an image the way we all perceived her to be. Hear about Beth projecting a message of acceptance and inclusivity years before there was an Ashley Graham or a Lizzo, the experience of having her crevices painted for iconic photo shoots and being taught how to pose by none other than Kate Moss (why did no one film this?)

WARNING: her dishwasher goes off a few times during this episode, we did record in lockdown so these things do happen.
