The longer Twitter exists, the more apparent it is that having a space where celebrities can make lasting, internet-permanent decisions in less than a few minutes, is an incredibly valuable thing.
Though obviously a lot more premediated than her celebrity Twittering counterparts, Amanda Palmer tweeted thusly yesterday:
use these nekkid AFP post-sharpie-twit-frenzy-photos to mock up a rolling stone cover. http://bit.ly/afpnekkid - post results.
With a link to about 25 nude photos of Palmer covered in Sharpie, doing various poses. I mean, it's Amanda Palmer, and if you see her live there's about a 20% chance she'll take off her shirt just due to general immodesty, but this still raises an eyebrow or two.
To see the Rolling Stone covers fans have come up with, click here.

What a pathetic scream for attention from a self-proclaimed hack. She is gross.

OMFG!!! I have COMPLETELY lost all respect for Neil Gaiman. Her 'pits are disgusting. Feminism at its finest? I'm a girl and I know that if I don't give mine the "once over"every couple of days I smell like a dude. To grow that much underarm hair takes SERIOUS commitment. Rogaine? Give that girl a weed wacker, some Chlorophyll, some Certain-Dri, and some Secret Clinical Strength. She must smell like sweaty horse balls.

I think A-MAN da palmer is a a guy for sure. Have you seen that neck and jaw? He/she is built like a neanderthal. In Europe, dudes can get the operation easy. I guess Neil Gay-man is true to his name.

Amanda Palmer looks like a patient from a mental asylum. I think people are repulsed by these pictures because there is something very disturbing about them. If this is a woman, which I’m not sure exactly, then the statement seems to be to defile the body, the human form as garbage. There are other very ugly photos of this person bloody in shopping cart and dead. Maybe this person believes they are trash and tries to make themselves look like trash. Many statements can be made about the human body, statements of beauty and transcendence. This is not one. This is a statement of ugliness, it is grotesque and so people are repulsed. Amanda Palmer is repulsive.

You guys are idiots.
She's not a man, and she's not replusive. She is just an artist who doesn't give a s hit. Who cares if she's hairy or has a low voice? How shallow is that?
She speaks freely of important issues, and if you are the ones judging.
And for all you people who may say, "You don't even know her, how can you stand up for her?" 1. I've been to her concerts and met her a few times and 2. This is totally something I would do.
Why not live while you can?

I do agree with Erin, and holy hell Natasha, are you saying a woman should spend her life "Prettying" herself up?
You're pathetic.
Lucas
WTF Lucas??? Amanda Palmer spends exactly ALL her time vainly "prettying" herself up. She is nothing but a navel gazing, pathetic whore snapping pictures of her snatch day in and out. Drawing a crooked eyebrow line does not qualify as art.
Ha, ha, Erin, Amanda Palmer doesn't give a crap? You're right!
Amanda Palmer doesn't give a crap about art because she refuses to learn her craft and spends all her time tweeting rubbish instead.
Amanda Palmer doesn't give a crap about the kids who commit suicide because they imitated her awful example and texted a naked photo that made the rounds of the whole school.
Amanda Palmer doesn't give a crap about women being perceived as sex objects because she exploits herself exactly the same way.
Amanda Palmer doesn't give a crap.... she is crap.
