I religiously buy and read POP magazine. I first came across it when browsing through the Transit News Stand in Hong Kong and have been addicted ever since. I even went as far as to order all the back issues. Yep, it’s a problem.
I love POP‘s attitude and bravery, which leaps out of spreads like ‘Size Hero’ (Issue 16, Autumn) featuring Beth Ditto in all her glory, photographed by Steven Klein.**This really was the first time I have seen a plus-sized celebrity celebrated and endorsed. Antipodium loves Beth Ditto and the individuality that POP embraces. If I ever feel flat, bored or strange, POP helps me feel better and, oddly enough, full of hope for the future.
