To share Amanda Palmer's fuck you to the Daily Mail?

Amanda Palmer happens to be one of my favorite musicians, recently she appeared at Glastonbury and the Daily Mail wrote a 'review' of her set, which focused on the nipple slip she had mid-set instead of her music, and of course the comments section is full of the usual pearl clutching that she dares to have body hair, the horror!

Anyway, she decided to reply to them with a lovely song and some full frontal nudity, Dear Daily Mail. Sincerely, Amanda Palmer.

That's utterly brilliant. She's a legend.

Isoscelesnorks · 14/07/2013 11:41

Will she ever appear in the Daily Mail again?

neunundneunzigluftballons · 14/07/2013 11:41

I never heard of her but now I absolutely love her.

mrscumberbatch · 14/07/2013 11:42

Love her:)

quesadilla · 14/07/2013 12:03

Fabulous. Also hadn't heard of her until now.

NutcrackerFairy · 14/07/2013 12:11

Just brilliant.

Haven't heard of her before but will definitely look up her music now.

What a mixed bag of comments on that DM article - from "disgusting woman" [wtaf Angry] to "Women have breasts and body hair! Body shaming is so last year" [too bloody right Grin]

fubbsy · 14/07/2013 12:21

Leafleaflea · 14/07/2013 12:33

She needs directing to the bra intervention threads.
And a razor.

TerraNotSoFirma · 14/07/2013 12:33

Justfornowitwilldo · 14/07/2013 12:35

I hadn't heard of her. She is fabulous.

Crumbledwalnuts · 14/07/2013 12:38

More people probably heard of her after the Daily Mail rag article than otherwise :) but she can benefit from that and still enjoy her liberal credentials!

Crumbledwalnuts · 14/07/2013 12:38

But I like the bit where she takes her clothes off! That's clever.

HappyDoll · 14/07/2013 12:39

YANBU legend!

MayTheOddsBeEverInYourFavour · 14/07/2013 12:41

First woman I ever saw who made me question gender norms, she's brilliant and I love her music. 'Coin operated boy' is a love song for her vibrator and rather funny.

Love it. Good for her for calling the Mail on their fucking obsession with women's bodies, either praising them or shaming them.

LostInWales · 14/07/2013 12:52

Grin I had never heard of her before but now I think she's an absolute legend. Bit of an own goal there DF.

millersangels · 14/07/2013 12:57

She is ace and she is married to the very lovely Neil Gaiman.
