In addition to the [surreal cover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) of the Dazed & Confused May 2009 issue, Beth Ditto stars in a rather weird editorial inside.

Beth Ditto is captured by photographer Rankin while pulling some intense faces. I doubt that other [mainstream celebrities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign) would go for such [extreme shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks). But that’s what makes Beth Ditto so special--she just doesn’t give a f*ck.

I do like the newspaper collar that stylist Robbie Spencer got Beth Ditto to wear in the main image.
