You can't not like a girl who pokes fun at herself, and that's exactly what The Gossip singer Beth Ditto is doing in this brick patterned dress. "She's a brick...house/ Mighty mighty, just lettin' it all hang out/ She's a brick...house/ The lady's stacked and that's a fact/ ain't holding nothing back."

Punk trio The Gossip became highly visible due to their exposure in magazines like Out and The Advocate, where they became icons in the gay and lesbian indie rock community.

The heavyweight singer shatters the myth that she is fat and proud - insisting she hates her rotund frame.

She explains, "I'm just not happy with how I look. Especially my weight. I'm only 5 foot 2 inches but weigh 238lbs. I want to accept myself as I am and don't change myself. Life is too short for that."
