It's Just Like You to Paint Those Whiter Fences

Okay, so here's the deal. Amanda Palmer is amazing and cool and a brilliant musician, right? But apparently her record label thinks she's too fat in her video for "Leeds United" and told her to recut the video to show less of her "belly." Really, guys? Really? So, if you're a fan of Amanda and think that Roadrunner needs to go shove their heads up

That is INFURIATING!! Sometimes people just make me sick... >:(

I'd join in with the belly photos, but... um... according to BMI charts, I have the body type of an anorexic, so that might be more counterproductive than good...

I know! Just when you think the world is making some progress, somebody's always got to come along and pull us all back to the stone age.

Well, it's all about showing support regardless of size or body type, but do whatever makes you feel comfortable. :] One of the members of the fan forum is taking all the pictures sent in (that are sent to him too) and is printing them out to mail directly to Roadrunner Records to show them this is srs bzns, so every picture adds to the weight!

I know, right? Some people.

Hurrah, glad you like her. She's quite keen as one half of the Dresden Dolls, too.

Did you send in a pic? I am pondering sending one in myself... and I NEVER show my belly to ANYONE!!!!!!!

[creative_excess]

Oh, you know I did! I took one myself (the pic in the entry) and sent it in, and Jessica and I also took pictures together and sent the clearest of those in. If you do, yay, thanks for the support! =D

Ya, rly. I'm just glad there's been such a strong reaction to it, shows that not everybody is a dillweed.
