Amanda Palmer > $1,000,000

Miss Amanda Fucking Palmer has exceeded the magical $1,000,000 landmark with her Kickstarter for her new record, art book and tour and she's closing in on exceeding 21,000 backers. This is astonishing. I did my little bit to help.

Here's a screen-grab from about 7:15pm this evening:


As with virtually everything else in her life, Amanda is sharing her excitement about this project with us and tweeting and blogging updates and letting backers have advance songs and sight of artwork. Her last blog included some of the pictures that will be in the art book and shared a naked painting of her that was completed last week. Amanda knows no taboos about nakedness and was photographed naked in the first Dresden Dolls book (which is, of course, in my collection). So what better way to celebrate reaching the magic number than be body-painted and photographed?


Well done Miss Palmer!

You have two days left in which to support Amanda so go on and get a new record in your life. All it costs is $1.
