Again, it's all about image to you- everything you've just uttered reinforces it.

She's gone on record as saying she needs to lose a bit of weight but I applaud her for voicing out against the superficial ways in which women are viewed and catagorized.

Being fat doesn't constitute a freak to me. And as for the pics you've posted, all performers wear over the top gear when they're on stage.... that's how it works.

Lol.. but the difference is, she take her ott gear off when on stage. I don't have an issue with body image but I do find the sight of a sweaty beth Ditto thrashing about with her bits out slightly offensive...

That's rock n' roll baby.... so there's one rule for the skinny performers and another for the fat ones? It doesn't work that way in my book.

No I'm not saying there's a different rule for skinny and fat performers, but I haven't really seen a skinny performer act like that... Beth does take it a bit far. I do admire her attitude though.

Loadsa skinny performers have done it but it's more acceptable for them to act like that in our society. Rock at it's best is supposed to push boundaries and challenge people's assertions- that's what I admire her for and she doesn't deserve to be in a thread of this kind.

I agree with what you are sayin about Beth... However, when it comes to music, I want to enjoy the music and the performance without looking at any sweaty body parts whether they are attached to a skinny bod or a fat one.

Omg setanta, please just stop! seriously!!

stick to talking to me about football.

She is, she's made of willow so very flexible......

Oi! .. my chiropractor says I am flexible... overly flexible. Doesn't make me a slaaaag!

Lol

Setanta and Happyland, I agree with Happyland and it has nothing to do with image views either, I have seen plenty of skinny males at punk gigs perform entire sets naked, which isn't pleasant either, and im not just saying that because watching cocks isnt my cup of tea (well not for an entire set). Music should be about music, I will happily point Mr Hessinghamlyshire at Beth Ditto and the lead singer of the Vandals, or the entire band the Dwarves.

Its only a stupid thing so lets play nicely with the freaks, they aren't real freaks, just like Mr Hessinghamlyshire isnt real, like the toothfairy, unicorns and god.

Ok, p*** off back to South London, there is only one true North London team (and no, its not Stoke Newington)

No indeed it does not, but I found her one day when out for a stroll with Mr Hessinghamlyshire (freak pointing don't you know) and we saw her in a bush, thats when Mr Hessinghamlyshire fell in love with her, even though she was in a bush at the time.

He fell in love with her during what very much looked like to me a gang bang of some description.

Wrong, so very very wrong. Mr Hessinghamlyshire is a sick puppy at times.

:shocked:

Unicorns???

Where the hell did that come from.

Less of the swearing.

haha I was just joking. Tottenham will get our revenge at the Lane, thats all.

yip, unicorns, they were just dumb horses that head butted conches (the shells)

I think you're wrong... they have silver blood do you not know?

Ohh your one of .. them..
unlcuky.

Spurs aint my most hated team but im so glad we beat you so we can stay above.

Yip, one of them and proud.

You're going to love this, where was the first McDonalds in this country? The start of the love of that food in this country....where was it. Thats right Woolwich.

Now, where did Arsenal originally come from? Thats right, Woolwich.....:laugh2:

Need I say more.

Yid Army, lol

I did not know that, so there home lands are where silver is found today?

In that case I suggest you be very careful in deciding what gigs you'd like to attend. X Factor, Kenny Rogers or Lionel Ritchie should be safe enough for you. :tongue:

Ha ha... I have been to many many gigs of different genres (not Kenny rogers or Lionel Richie) and have never seen anyone stripping off...

Actually, I will retract that statement... I think the silver blooded unicorns are found mainly in the grounds of Hogwarts.

S Club 7? Westlife? She was hardly stripping off anyway... looks more like a wardrobe malfunction. But yeah, that's punk rock for you - dangerous world out there darling.
