The new Conde Nast Magazine “Love” has launched with an atypical cover.

Editor-in-Chief Katie Grand assured the public that she would deliver a ‘very curvy’ first issue. In putting Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto on the cover, Grand delivers big-time.

Beth Ditto is everything a woman isn’t supposed to be: gay, beyond voluptuous and seemingly happy with her life, according to Grand.

Ditto calls herself a “fat, feminist lesbian from Arkansas’ and makes music around the underside (but potentially very large) underside of society. “Listen Up” is a gender bending, role playing look into one piece of the real world.
