December “it” Girl – Beth Ditto
December 7, 2009 at 5:08 am , by shelley
I think that one of the coolest bands has got to be The Gossip. And the lead vocals is this month’s “it girl” Beth Ditto. She doesn’t look stereotype model pretty, but man does she have something.
I love this quote from an Elle interview, “…’interviewing the Gossip’s Beth Ditto is like trying to hold a conversation with a combination of your niece on a Skittles high and a gracious, wisecracking Rhoda Morgenstern,” Read more.
Funny thing is this past summer I ended up with them in closed quarters – okay more like back corner – of Bungalow 8. Beth Ditto was this ball of energy that fired up a bunch of to dance to hip hop song (so fun) – and as she yelled “I love this song!!!” I had to ask her who it was. She said, but too much champers erased it from my memory.
After I learned this fun crew, side saddled with Peaches Geldorf, was The Gossip. I downloaded some of their songs and fell in love with Beth’s voice.
My fav: Heavy Cross LISTEN (and repeat 20x – lol)
There will be much more to come from Beth and this band.

I’ve been asked to try and remember what song we were going off to and best that’s come back to me was that it was Lil Wayne (sorry!)
