I do believe we call it "foot-in-mouth" disease

I'm having second thoughts about admiring Amanda Palmer these days.

Ironic. You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

You know, I like Lady Gaga and AFP for many of the same reasons.
Both have a lot to say about a woman's condition in the spotlight.
Both are open about their bisexuality, which for this queer, is awesome.
Bot perform in over the top costumes, make-up and live!

Their styles are different, Gaga is unashamedly pop-and-plastique, AFP is wonderfully indie-and-dark.

Gaga is all about glitz and glitter.

AFP is all about powder and pastiche.

Gaga has done crip-drag and AFP has done crip-drag.

I've yet to hear Gaga utter a disparaging word againt a fellow artist and performer like AFP has done.

I'm really disappointed in AFP.

I don't know what I'm going to do now.

Gaaah, I've been seeing this all over my reading list, and it's dreadful. This and the Evelyn Evelyn thing have really changed my mind about Amanda Palmer - I used to admire her a great deal, for her musical skills, her down-to-earth attitude and for being open about feminism, but it's been a big turnaround recently.
