Page "My Ruin" Paragraph 64

The single became somewhat of an anthem among fans, challenging the oppressive, patriarchal and misogynist world of music and the media in general.

The song would go on to be a My Ruin classic, fan favourite and set staple.

In response to the review and speaking about the song in an interview with the same magazine, Tairrie stated ; “ This is exactly what Beauty Fiend is about!

It ’ s stating that I ’ m not gorgeous ,, I ’ m not some f ** cking beauty.

It ’ s nice to be called sexy and it ’ s nice to be called pretty … It ’ s always a compliment.

Next week they ’ ll call me f ** cking ugly.

That ’ s nice too.

But for the cover of the single, I ’ ve got all my make-up smeared and messed at the very end of a photoshoot.

I know that I look like a hag, but it lyrics kinda says it all: ‘ forgive me for not being pretty … Quit talking about my ass and my tits.

Who gives a f ** ck?

I don ’ t look at men like that.

I don ’ t look at Phil Anselmo and see a cock .’”
