Personal life

Ditto London poster advertising Love Magazine

Ditto, who is lesbian, is well known for her outspoken support of both LGBT and feminist causes.2 She is a close friend of Scissor Sisters lead singer Ana Matronic, and considers her favorite song to be "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex. She courted mild controversy in 2006 when, during an interview for NME magazine, she claimed to have eaten squirrels as a child, saying that "people in Arkansas just do -- they'd think you were a freak if you ate squid there!"3

Ditto is known for her noticeable stage dances and her unique and revealing image. She classes herself as a punk, and thus does not wear deodorant or shave under her armpits, having once remarked that "I think punks usually smell".4 She has been lauded for her support of positive body image,5 despite comments from doctors that she may be causing harm to public health by normalising obesity.6 She also formerly contributed an advice column on body image to The Guardian newspaper.7

In February 2009, she was featured in London as the cover model for the premiere of Love magazine with prominent public advertising.8 On July 9, 2009, Beth's fashion collection for the UK retailer Evans will start being sold online in select stores across the UK.9
