Quote of the Day

"[Flaunting a big girl body in a punk-rock way is] kind of like a drug…it's a performance. It's funny how something so normal and mundane that you see every day—your body—can be controversial. The shock value is intense. It's like carrying an art piece around with you all the time."Beth Ditto, singer and generally awesome feminazi cooter cultist.
