Beth Ditto - Ditto is a lesbian, and is known for her outspoken support of feminist causes. She is a close friend of Scissor Sisters lead singer Ana Matronic, and considers her favourite song to be "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex. She courted 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!"
Ditto 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". She has been photographed numerous times, and is lauded for her support of positive body image. She currently lives in Portland, Oregon.
