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.

i've never really listened to amanda palmer, which seems to be a good thing considering the evelyn evelyn stuff and now this. at least i don't have to feel conflicted about thinking she seems pretty atrocious.

but i get it - it's always so disappointing and frustrating when public figures that you have huge respect for come out with bigoted bullshit.

and hi :)

Hi there :)

Yeah, it's disappointing. I'm not really sure what strategy I'm going to adopt when it comes to her music, possibly simply download instead of support like I usually do - I like having tangible things.
