Beth Ditto Quotes

Granny Ditto always referred to perfume as ‘smell good’ and for me it’s an essential. I have a sweetheart who’s extremely allergic to most scents, so I have to be extra careful - as well as creative - in the smell department. The key, I’ve found, are essential oils, which come in all kinds of 100% natural scents Picture Quote #1

Some makeup companies have really good recycling policies, and it’s worth finding out whether your favourites are among them. With MAC, for instance, you can take any of your old makeup containers into its shops, and the sweetest deal is that, once you’ve racked up six containers, you get a free lipstick or lip gloss Picture Quote #1

Thanks to capitalism, the importance placed on beauty has never been so manipulated. We are the guinea pigs force-fed ads that tell us how pathetic we are: that we will never be loved, happy or valuable unless we have the body, the face, the hair, even the personality that will apparently be ours, if only we buy their products Picture Quote #1

You know how people love to glamorize poverty? There’s nothing glamorous about it. But it did make me really creative. Those days, I was literally taking t-shirts in the day and sewing them back together to make dresses for the night Picture Quote #1

A few years back, when my style was ‘punk grandma,’ I picked up an amazing pair of sandals - orthopaedic ones, with really thick soles. I’ve given them away to a friend now, because these days my look is more 1980s substitute teacher gone wild.’ Picture Quote #1

Do I ever think Gossip will be really massive in America? No, I don’t think it’ll happen - and that’s fine. It’s kind of nice because I get to experience everything at once. I get to come home and it not be weird, like in Paris or something. It is nice to be completely anonymous Picture Quote #1

I was overcome by the Holy Ghost one time, but in a Baptist way. I was six or seven, and I was saved. I just cried and cried. It was joy! Picture Quote #1

Reclaiming the word ‘fat’ was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth, because the truth is that I am fat, and that’s ok. So now when someone calls me fat, I agree, whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional Picture Quote #1

Why wear pants when you can wear a muumuu? Picture Quote #1

I work really well under pressure but I really hate doing things on a timeframe Picture Quote #1

A beautiful plant is like having a friend around the house Picture Quote #1

I mean, if I was living to please people, I’d have never been in a band at all. I wouldn’t have anything awesome around. I’d just be bored Picture Quote #1

I’m naturally a mousy blonde, so I dye my hair, and my eyebrows would disappear if I didn’t get through at least a pencil a month Picture Quote #1

My dad liked to boil a squirrel head and suck the brains out the nose. Smaller than a chicken, bigger than a rat Picture Quote #1

I don’t have a good attention span and can’t spend long in record stores or video shops or games emporiums without getting grumpy Picture Quote #1

I love sad songs. They say so much. I love country music but even the happy songs sound really sad Picture Quote #1

I shave my body in all kinds of ways, wear tons of eyeliner and dye my hair pink Picture Quote #1

I believe I owe all the best parts of my adulthood to embracing my imperfections and showcasing them Picture Quote #1

If you have a therapist who agrees with your every word, then your brain isn’t getting proper exercise Picture Quote #1

I’m a great believer in karma, and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me Picture Quote #1

You know, either I’m too fat or I’m flavour of the month. I don’t feel either, but maybe I’m both, who knows? Picture Quote #1

There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once Picture Quote #1

As with most phobias, the fear of flying does make some sense, but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all, life is short, and there’s a great big world to explore out there Picture Quote #1

I was born fat and have always been, which was just fine and even healthy and cute until I turned ten or so. Puberty hit like a hurricane and brought a new set of rules. All of a sudden it was my fault I was chubby Picture Quote #1

I feel sorry... for people who’ve had skinny privilege and then have it taken away from them. I have had a lifetime to adjust to seeing how people treat women who aren’t their idea of beautiful and therefore aren’t their idea of useful, and I had to find ways to become useful to myself Picture Quote #1

Because I didn’t have any queer, lesbian, female role models I hated my own femininity and had to look deep within myself to create an identity that worked for me. Pop culture just doesn’t hand us enough variety to choose from Picture Quote #1

High school wasn’t so bad though because, by then, I had worked out that there were far more nerdy kids and poor kids than there were rich, popular kids, so, at the very least, we had them outnumbered Picture Quote #1

I have been 130 lbs. as well as 215 lbs. I have had blond, strawberry blond, green, pink and purple hair, and none of that has ever exempted me from having lewd comments flung at me in the street Picture Quote #1

I thought to be feminine was to give in to straight culture, or the beauty standard, but in my heart I had a flair for fashion and style. They were passions I kept secret because I didn’t understand I could love clothes and hair and makeup and still like girls Picture Quote #1
