Ditto posed nude for On Our Backs, a women-run lesbian erotica magazine. "It was a big moment in my life," she told Curve magazine. "It was kind of a radical thing to do. I got my period just 10 minutes before we got there, and I was totally bleeding. I was doing it with my tranny boyfriend, who I’m in love with, and I was totally bleeding — how radical is that? — and I’m a fat person, and I’m a femme. It felt really good."[9]

i mean he's a 'journalist'
― maura, Friday, 27 July 2007 01:25 (sixteen years ago) link
or maybe you could just have him do a series of interpretive ms paints
it'd be SYNERGISTIC

I get the distinct feeling Maura doesn't really like Perez all that much. ;-)

Yeah, I did. Here's an excerpt:
KBP: yo dyke bitch lose some fucking weight
Beth Ditto: What?
KBP: maybe if you stop eating pussy you wont be such a fukkin lardass
Beth Ditto: Have you read my Guardian articles??
KBP: yah ever since dom passantino got sacked yo the only fat queer writing from them

I interviewed Hannah and Brace a couple of weeks ago, but Beth was too busy checking her e-mails to come and join us. Hey, we're only regional. We know our place.
(This week, we passed on the opportunity to interview NOT Shaun Ryder, NOT Bez, but "original Happy Mondays drummer Gaz Whelan". We get a lot of drummers thrust in our direction. Maybe there's a Special Issue in it.)
― mike t-diva, Friday, 27 July 2007 09:28 (sixteen years ago) link

also let me strike back first by saying i think "perez hilton" being on the cover of a "music" magazine is pretty repulsive as well. i'm just saying...
― Jordan Sargent, Friday, 27 July 2007 11:11 (sixteen years ago) link
uh those pics are a little more in-depth than a 'coke nose' or a five-year-old-like scrawl of 'fug' no? but whatever, art is in the eye of etc

I don't know why he started doing that. Maybe afraid someone would steal his stolen pics?

not what i was saying, rather that the jackin' poll pics are "interpretive ms paints." let's also not pretend like ms paint is plagiarism here (there are many worse things about perez hilton than his crude paints).
and anyway, the issue for me is not that it's perez (not wholly, at least). i'd take just as much offense to the dude from stereogum being on the cover of urb while biting the collar of win butler.

"If there's anyone to blame for size zero, it's not women. Blame gay men who work in the fashion industry and 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.
"There's that thing Paris Hilton said about Lindsay Lohan, 'You're poor, ugly and fat.' It's always women who are victims."
"I spent one night talking to Kate Moss and she said the most amazing things about bodies. I didn't think I was going to like her, but she said, 'Do you know what I hate, Beth? When people tell my big girlfriends, 'You have a beautiful face…' That's a really radical concept."

i can't tell if she uses 'radical' to mean 'totally awesome and gnarly' or 'scarily extremist and revolting'. she's wrong either way.

que u mite b rite
The beard at Otto's table said, -- Is that Hemingway? Ed Feasley looked over at the Big Unshaven Man, who had just said, -- No queer in history ever produced great art. Feasley looked vague, but said -- There's something familiar about him...
-- I tell you, there's a queer conspiracy to dominate everything. Just look around, the boy with the red hunting cap said. -- Queers dominate writing, they dominate the theater, they dominate art. Just try to find a gallery where you can show your pictures if you're not a queer, he added, raising a cigarette between paint-encrusted fingers. -- What do you think women look so damned foolish for today? It's because queers design their clothes, queers dictate women's fashions, queers do their hair, queers do all the photography in the fashion magazines. They're purposely making women look more and more idiotic until nobody will want to go to bed with one. It's a conspiracy.
