NME - Beth Ditto in Mustard Leggings???? What the Hell Were They Thinking?????

My house mate called me the other day to ask if I wanted his copy of NME which featured Beth Ditto naked...  I'm not really sure what to make of the whole media love of Ms Ditto, but I thought I would have the NME to see what she has to say anyway...

I read the her interview today (thank you James) and to be honest the thing that has stood out from all other things is the photo with her clothes back on...  Some sick and twisted individual dressed her in MUSTARD LEGGINGS?  WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?  Mustard yellow is revolting colour anyway, actually it could be some kind of mustardy green, whatever the leggings look fucking vile.  An even more terrifying thought is that Beth Ditto may have actually chosen that outfit for herself and there is a mention in the interview that she would like to design plus size clothes for the larger woman.  Please god don't let her near sketchpad or we could see more women walking around in vomit green coloured leggings.

Of course I am all for every sized woman having access to fashionable and flattering clothes.  The problem with leggings is that they make a large woman look like a chicken, all big up top and thin at the bottom.  And the problem with fashion at the moment, is that a lot of the trends just don't look good on larger women, so therefore fashion designers should be whipped and beaten for creating such a shit season's worth of clothes.

I do appreciate that perhaps Ms Ditto may actually want to look like a chicken and thereby drawing attention to her size, but it looks so ugly.  I would much rather she drew attention to her size by emphasising her good bits (not her just her face as mentioned in the interview) and wearing some decent clothes.  Maybe ironically either Beth or the stylist couldn't find any young hip clothes for her, welcome to our world - it fucking sucks doesn't it???!!!!

Rant over with. 

...Very soon (so close to be finished) I shall be posting here the best places to get alternative plus size clothing here in the UK and there won't be any leggings, tunics or maxi dresses but there will be plenty of velvet, lace, corsets and PVC...

Michelle I couldn't agree more! The metallic lyrca should stay in the 80's where it belongs!
