Cute dress, Beth!

The Gossip at Get Loaded In the Park

Lee and Beth

Nice one, La Ditto...

Alexander McQueen loves to non-conform, and his eccentric taste in everything extends to his favorite musicians. While his first pick Amy Winehouse wasn’t available to perform at the May 13 opening of his Los Angeles flagship, the elusive designer has tapped a singer worthy of her unique–and, at times, outlandish–ways: Beth Ditto.

Live on "Late Night." Beth kicks so much ass, a new term needs to be invented for, er, how much ass she kicks. As always, girlfriend's outfit is interesting...

Ahhhhhh

I love her.

Signs that something was up came when Ditto stepped forward and bent the ear of a member of the venue's staff who was patrolling the front row. And as the band launched into their biggest hit, "Standing in the Way of Control", the people started coming. Ditto herself was doing all she could to pull them on to the stage until it teemed with audience members – maybe 300 of them, all dancing like crazy – and the band had disappeared from view. It was tumultuous, and unforgettable, and it rounded off surely one of the most explosive hours of live music London will witness all year.

Macca and Beth

Someday, I will own a wee chapeau like La Ditto's. Also, I'm glad to see that Macca's face lift is relaxing...

You know,

during all the red carpet brouhaha at awards shows, it's always refreshing to hear someone genuinely thrilled to be wearing something made especially for them. Case in point- La Ditto's near-squee of joy in this interview at donning custom Luella Bartley and Terry De Haviland for the Brits.
