Sometimes, separating the art from the artist is difficult. One flows into the other, and somehow the creation becomes an extension of the creator. That’s how I feel about Amanda Palmer. She’s a musician, a writer, and all-around wide open person who loves to live through her creations. She also happens to be married to my favorite author, Neil Gaiman, who I loved before they even knew of each other.
Amanda lives out loud and speaks her mind on basically everything. She is often unapologetic, but in the same breath, she is able to feel for her fans because she embraces her sadness and anger and channels it into her art. Here is Amanda’s video for her song, “Do It With a Rockstar,” where she gets to snog with Stoya.

I wasn’t Amanda’s only fan who read the Buzzfeed article (linked as a source below) about a sculpture called The Glitoris who thought of Amanda. She has always been a feminist who is all about body positivity, and getting the word out with as much gusto as possible.
Australian artist Alli Sebastian Wolf has created an anotomically correct, glittery gold clitoris that is about half the size of a human being. Amanda happens to be on tour (and writing a new album, hooray!) in Australia at the moment, so when she started talking about her love of the idea behind the Glioris, the artist took note and showed up at her gig at the Sydney Opera House in full glamor gear, ready to psych up the crowd and educate everyone on the actual size and shape of the organ that most only know as a love button.
The Glitoris ended up on stage and Amanda, along with her husband (fangirl squeeeeeeee), took some pictures after the whole affair.
Amanda explained how the Glitoris ended up on stage in a Facebook post from January 22nd:
Sexual education is super important. Knowing the in’s and out’s of the anatomy of your partner is so fucking important. I showed the Glitoris to a few of my friends who had zero idea that this was what a clit actually looked like. As much as I was excited to be the one to explain to them how there are thousands of nerve endings all over the clitoris, I was kind of shocked that they didn’t already know. Why should dicks be the only sexual organ with tons of pleasure points? Give me all the satisfaction I can stand until I’m begging you to stop. Study up on the female anatomy, Peepz. If you have questions, ask them!
