Performing Inspiration in a Tough Economy

DigiBitch post by Mandy Van Deven on April 28, 2009 - 9:48pm; tagged Ani DiFranco, career, Economy, live show, motherhood, parenting.

While being a musical vagabond is in Ani DiFranco’s blood, the changing face of the music industry in a sinking economy has made touring for this feminist icon a financial necessity.

Hunx Tells Us About His Favorite Ladies Who Rock

Music post by Danny Hayes on April 28, 2009 - 1:44pm; tagged Courtney Love, Edith Massey, female musicians, garage rock, Gina Shock, Grace Jones, Gravy Train!!!!, Hunx and His Punx, Joan Jett, Kathleen Hanna, Left Eye, punk, queer musicians, Ronettes, Tammy Faye, Wendy-O-Williams.
Listening to Hunx and His Punx is kind of like listening to a sixties girl group--a really, really fabulously gay sixties girl group. Hunx is also a member of Gravy Train!!!!, which I first heard of when my bf at the time burned me a CD with this awesomely raunchy song on it. When I found these videos from his newest project, it felt like John Waters and the Shangri-Las had had a baby... and that baby was Hunx. It was garage rock meets trash culture at the local leather bar. They were just so... gay! And not "we wanna get married and be a little homo-sub-branch of heteronormative culture" gay... but just good, old-fashioned gay! We met up with Hunx while at SXSW, and he graciously agreed to send us a list of his ten favorite female musicians, which I'm going to reprint verbatim after the jump.

The Skinny on Miss Universe Skinny-ism

DigiBitch post by Kelsey Wallace on April 28, 2009 - 10:40am; tagged Australia, beauty pageants, beauty standards, body image, Diane Sawyer, judgment, Miss Universe, skinny-ism, Stephanie Naumoska, thinness.
The Daily Beast posted a video today of Australian pageant contestant Stephanie Naumoska talking with Diane Sawyer about audience reactions to her physique (which is quite thin). Is it skinny-ism? Is that even a thing? Watch the video and let's discuss:



Is Naumoska a victim? Or is this just the Miss-Universe-contestant pot calling the kettle too judgmental? (Does that even make sense?) More after the jump!

For Realz?: Speidi Swine Flu

TV post by Rita Hao on April 28, 2009 - 9:52am; tagged frenemies, reality TV, swine flu, The Hills.
And continuing the trend of writing posts about reality shows I don't watch, a big HA HA (in an unserious way, of course!) to professional frenemy Heidi Montag and her new husband, the unpleasant Spencer Pratt, from The Hills. Heidi and Spencer called Ryan Seacrest in a panic today because guess where they went immediately after their wedding? That's right, MEXICO.
