Who are we anyway? I think that most of us are just mere copies of the celebrities and famous personalities that we see on television. As I was surfing, I stumbled upon a certain tumblr account, of which I don't know the author of the said tumblr account LOL...
In her tumblr account was a post about a front cover of a magazine and it said "Beth Ditto is the coolest girl". So I was wondering who on Earth is this Beth Ditto. And to my surprise she was quite a "scandal"..here is what I read from wikipedia.com:
"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]"
At first glance I found her quite bizaare, but as I sat in front of my computer I began to realize that she was merely being herself. As an artist, we just couldn't expect anything less extraordinary out of her. I soon began to listen to her songs, and read articles about her.
In this fast paced world, where everything else is surrounded by high-tech what-nots and science has finally found it's place on top of everything else we just find the more 'simpler' things absurd and bizaare.
To Beth Ditto, Cheers to you! You are one heck of a lady, and I love your individualism and how care-free you are. In this world, we have every right to be what we want to be, and do anything that will make us happy, and it doesn't matter if the outside world has lots if pressures; and by the way all of us are pretty and beautiful in our own little way, even if we don't live up to the standards of today's "conventional" beauties.
