Beth Ditto from the Gossip

From front-page covers to hanging with Karl Lagerfeld she's high on the list of our modern day revolutionaries - what do you think? Speak Up!

Please dont get me wrong i think she's gorgeous and its so great to see a female somewhat comfortable with her body. I just would like to see a healthy role model, not an underweight nor overweight person. Someone who is fit and healthy and accepting of themselves. To me it's as though she's saying its ok to be overweight - which of course it is ok - its just not ideal.
Does this even make sense?
OK to sum up - lets have real people with real figures, healthy girls with fun filled lives.
Wow this got off track.

I understand that they believe that being overweight isn't exactly 'healthy', yet neither is being an xxxsmall, yet it seems that the media are much more accepting if you are super skinny.

Being a PSW myself, I find it a breath of fresh air to have a noticable female in the media, taking a stand, showing that we can love who we are, and have a passion for fashion.

So what if she is big....some people have that body type whatever they eat, and lets not forget that the camera adds 5 Kilos!!!! She rocks, she is luscious. I think if you saw her in real life she would be quite an average shape. What is unhealthy is super skinny.....most catwalk models are seriously skinny and barely on a healthy bmi rating. How about we just hear it for the girl, she rocks, she has the voice of a diva and she has some serious style. Rock on!!

Lizzlerrrr: said this on Wednesday 08 July 2009, 07:46 PM; she's real, she's out, and she speaks good words of wisdom.
she doesnt act stupid, or sly away from the truth, she says what she thinks and does it with attitude (Y)

blondie19: said this on Wednesday 08 July 2009, 08:56 PM; I think it's awesome that she's out there and she's completely comfortable and confident to wear clothes that everyone should be able to no matter what their size. We can all say about good/bad role models and such,but personally I think we all end up making our own choices about what we eat and when we excercise, we all want to be healthy but I think happy within yourself no matter what you look like is the healthiest choice of all.
