Ke$ha is Garbage Chic

Ke$ha arrives in all of her glitter glory at the T4 Stars of 2009 concert at Earls Court Arena on Sunday (November 29) in London, England.

The 22-year-old garbage chic singer recently explained her stage name to UK’s Guardian. “The dollar sign, to be honest, was me taking the piss out of being broke,” she shared in the Tennessee twang of her native Nashville.

As for her mom Pebe, Ke$ha says, “My mom’s a badass… she has balls. You need that in this industry, in this world, to stand up for what you believe in. She taught me that you don’t need anybody else to validate anything. She wanted a child, she had me, she didn’t want a man to tell her when and what to do. I think that’s badass. She’s a strong woman, a total hippie.”

Watch Ke$ha‘s performances below from yesterday’s G-A-Y Heaven in London! She definitely dressed for the occasion, wearing rainbow glitter eye make-up!
