Beth Ditto, frontwoman of Olympia, Washington, punk-rock band the Gossip, has become something of a muse for photographers. With her short, choppy black hair, luminous pale skin, bowtie red lips, and ample proportions, she expresses more glamour, dacadence, and danger with one kohl-eyed glance than most professional models do. Recently, she did a sitting in Paris with Roxanne Lowit for the French magazine Libèration, and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
