Mary Beth "Ditto" Patterson (born February 19, 1981, in Searcy, Arkansas) is an American singer-songwriter, most famous for her work with the indie rock band The Gossip.[1]
Personal life 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] 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,[5] despite comments from doctors that she may be causing harm to public health by normalising obesity.[6] She also formerly contributed an advice column on body image to The Guardian newspaper.[7] In February 2009, she was featured in London as the cover model for the premiere of Love magazine with prominent public advertising.[8] On July 9, 2009, Beth's fashion collection for the UK retailer Evans will start being sold online in select stores across the UK.[9] Awards And Nominations2006 - NME - Coolest Person In Rock - WON 2007 - NME Awards - Sexiest Woman Of The Year - NOMINATED 2008 - Glamour Awards - International Artist Of The Year - WON References
