Reddit Deleted My Post About Amanda Palmer's Eyebrows But I Don't Need Reddit When I Have This Blog

I posted in the /whybrows subreddit the other day, which is a hilarious collection of truly astonishing eyebrow decisions from around the web. I tried to read the rules for the subreddit first, but there was nothing written under Rules. My post sparked a lively discussion about Amanda and the current state of affairs on that topic, and got 50 upvotes before they took it down. Obviously we were enjoying it. And it imparted some new info for people who only knew Amanda's eyebrows in later years. I was even able to get some advice on something that's been on my mind from time to time--what to do about all my old reviews/interviews/features about the Dresden Dolls and Amanda...I didn't know if I should now post a Disclaimer on those or...? I mean, I used to adore the Dolls. I wrote about them so enthusiastically! It's so cringe to go back and read now. I didn't know she was going to get so fucking bizarre, dare I say predatory and even possibly dangerous?

The mods deleted my post. This was my post that Reddit deleted: 

Of course I checked for Amanda Palmer posts the minute I found out about this Reddit thing (/whybrows is AWESOME). But the other Amanda posts are all more recent, when she had like the “lines” or whatever…someone said those are tattoos? I really don’t know. What I do know: in the early days of the Dresden Dolls, when they started playing gigs around Boston, when they still did whiteface, before all the craziness, Amanda had great eyebrow art, I thought. I think she shaved them off and drew intricate designs where the brows would be. They weren’t in a strange shape, they didn’t hover in a weird place. In person the effect was stunning. I don’t know what all that was about in the later years, and I don’t just mean the brows (boy, did that ship sail off the edge, huh?) but at least I want to say: in the early days, these were pretty brows.

They WERE pretty brows. 

In any case, the eyebrow art by Amanda is a thing of the past. She has normal eyebrows now. What, I'm still connected to Amanda on Facebook.
