The Gossips’ Jealous Girls
I think The Gossip one of the hippest and most booty-shaking bands around. And Beth Ditto is just simply a cultural icon. I find her frankness quite refreshing especially in the midst of a music industry that is just so full of pompous asses that promote anorexia and low self worth.
Do check out their video for Jealous Girls, which is just such a great throwback to those cheesy music videos from the 80’s. I made a friend watch this video and he told me that he can’t quite put his finger on it but there is something strange about the video. When I said that it may be Beth Ditto’s weight, he was surprised that it was indeed her excess poundage. He said that it is so strange to see a woman of Ditto’s girth appearing in a music video. That’s what I love about Beth Ditto, she provokes and changes perceptions without even uttering a single word.
