Beth Ditto's Ultimate Escape in Paris
The musician on liquid eyeliner, her favorite yarn store, and the ultimate Parisian escape.
Highly subjective takes on life’s most interesting experiences.
What was your most surreal travel experience?
My most surreal travel experience was Mumbai, India. The city was electric, full of life and amazing food. I couldn’t believe the endless amount of flavor combinations that were so new to me.
Where’s the best food shopping in the world?
The best place for shopping in the world had to be Tokyo. From the fish markets to the unbelievable produce to the most pristine butcher shops.
Favorite word or phrase in a language not your own?
Gorsha. It means “mouthful” in Amharic. It’s an act of feeding someone directly from your hand in Ethiopia and it is one of the most endearing acts you can do to someone.
