Personal life
Ditto, a lesbian, is well known for her outspoken support of both LBGT and feminist causes2. 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.citation needed She is also known for encouraging women to remove their clothes and perform sexual acts on each other during live performances.5 She also formerly contributed an advice column on body image to The Guardian newspaper.
In London in February 2009, she was featured as the cover model for the first edition of Love magazine.6 On July 9, 2009, Beth's fashion collection for the UK retailer Evans will start being sold online in select stores across the UK.7
