So Condé Nast has chosen a naked photo of the full-figured Beth Ditto to adorn its new style magazine Love. Although the execution is different, the concept is remarkably similar to a 2007 cover from NME. It's de rigeur for skinny celebrities to flash their flesh on magazine covers but for someone of Ditto's, er, stature, it's meant to be a statement. Monkey is a bit clueless about fashion and has lost track of what colour is currently the new black but is left wondering - is curvy the new edgy?
