"Everyone's just doing their job. At the end of the day, I'm not going to be mad when someone asks if I want ketchup with my fries, and I'm not going to get mad at people if they ask if I ate squirrel as a kid. Yes, I did. A lot of 'em. Tons. Trees full."
— The Gossip singer Beth Ditto, when asked in Elle magazine's July 2009 issue if she gets sick of people asking if she ate squirrel as a kid. She's from a small town in Arkansas, and mentioned it once in an interview.
There's no doubt songstress Beth Ditto is proud of her zaftig figure. After being approached by Topshop to perform at its flagship store in London, Ditto struck back stating, “I don’t think it’s fair to put my face somewhere where they would never let me in there to wear their clothes." Her wish is Topshop's command. Word got around to Arcadia, Topshop's parent company, and now the singer is set to design a plus-sized collection for Evans, a company under the Arcadia umbrella. Ditto's offerings, available online on July 9, will include hip styles such as corset dresses and cropped biker jackets. Kudos, another nod to the plus-sized gals!

Meanwhile, critics warned Christophe Decarnin that he better do more with Balmain than tennis ball shoulders and sparkly minidresses.
Beth Ditto is the lead singer of The Gossip, a Portland-based band that fuses punk and soul. (The girl can sing.)

"To me, a day without makeup and a bouffant to match is a day wasted," she's said.
