Pretty cool idea for a T-shirt.

I guess the stains are chocolate cake or something.

You think Beth personally wears each one while eating an entire cake?

i love how when the singer is a larger dude ie Les Savy Fav- then it's cool, but the minute it's a woman, you have to go and objectify her. Typical.

No doubt Anonymous 1:22 is a douchebag, but that doesn't change the fact that Beth Ditto puts herself out there in an extreme way. Tim Harrington does that too, and people do talk about it.

the stains are shit. i'd hit it

Nah, it's not that it's a woman, it's that it's Beth Ditto. She is the one who makes a big deal out of her being okay with her weight. That's all fine and good, but I don't care about her weight (or her being comfortable), I just like The Gossip. She opens herself up to this.

I've never heard Tim Harrington say anything about his weight (that wasn't a joke of some sort). He's also not as big as Beth Ditto (though it wouldn't hurt him to start jogging or something I'm sure).

Hey 1:35, relax, it was a joke.

the stains are probably dirt from Liverpool.

I'm also wondering if this album cover was purposely meant to take the attention away from the people in the band for a second.

i'm just surprised you can get anything out of liverpool without it being stolen by some scouser.

it'd be much easier to not focus on ditto's weight if every single news story involving the band didn't had a picture of her attached. like this post! what's the point of that small picture???

ah yes, you need page views and you know the anonymous commenters come out and reload reload reload whenever there's a beth ditto picture.

who is Beth Ditto? Is she the singer for Brace Paine's band?

when is beth ditto going to be in a john waters movie?

yes its Brooklyn Vegan's fault for making Beth the face of the band when she poses nude for magazine covers and does virtually every interview they've ever conducted. if they were concerned about the focus being on Beth so much, they could've controlled that a long fucking time ago.

Saw her last night- she blew me away. Careless Whisper cover? Insane.

How was the show last night? Hate to admit it...we fell asleep on the couch last night and woke up at midnight tickets in hand.
