Beth Ditto Goes Nude for LOVE Magazine

New magazine LOVE has gone bold with the cover of their very first issue. The newborn glossy, created by POP magazine’s Katie Grand, has put a striking photograph of a very nude Beth Ditto right on the cover of its “Icons of a Generation” issue.

The Gossip singer, who has previously done a new cover for lesbian erotica mag On Our Backs as well as indie Anglophile erotic music mag NME, is depicted with fiery red hair as she gazes down toward her nether regions, which are covered by a big pink ruffle thing.

    I think she looks absoulutley stunning.

  3. Lena A says:

    Sorry, but she’s overweight and that is not healthy.
    Surely, size zero is bad, but that doesn’t mean you have to make out the other extreme is acceptable.

    Not only does that make me not want to buy that magazine, it puts me off buying a magazine.

    Jesus get that lady a poncho or something.

  9. it’s all about style and attitude, and this cover surely scores.
    i think the health and overweight issue is a bit inappropriate here.

    Stylish, yes. But while curves are fine, obesity is . . . unappealing, to say the least. Bigger is not better.

    Can’t all the aforementioned comments on her size be dismissed and focus on the artistry of the photo?? She is comfortable with who she is causing her inner beauty to glow. Too bad more people, be you thin or fat, can’t relate to that concept.

  18. Bernadette =] says:

    Beth Ditto is simply amazing. She epitomises, embraces and lives out the concept of self acceptance. I wish I could grasp that concept for myself. Love you BD xx

    Sorry, but she’s overweight and that is not healthy.
    Surely, size zero is bad, but that doesn’t mean you have to make out the other extreme is acceptable.

    Is it possible for an excellent piece of cover art to be just that or do you have to infuse it with your morality?

    Extend your logic a little and the images that people are allowed to present us with would be very limited,

    Me? – I like to be challenged, pulled out of my comfort zone. You should try it.

  22. CAgirl says:

    Yeah Steve! Agreed. We should all climb out of the box and expand our thoughts.

  23. Ms. Into says:

    People are not talking about the quality of the image isolated from her “sexiness,” that is the problem.

    Take that mainstream borin’ arse America!
    LURVE IT!
