Amanda Palmer
Nude

Who doesn’t find the edgy excitement of avant garde vocalists more than a bit breathtaking? Just thinking of unpredictable artistes such as Björk, Diamanda Galás, and Yoko Ono has us coming up for air (or just coming). And yes, we’d be remiss not to add singer, songwriter, musician, performance artist, and former stripper Amanda Palmer to this list. With her exotic looks and stunning stage presence, it should come as no surprise that she was a theater kid in school. Or that Amanda worked as a “living statue” in America and Australia. But since you can’t make a lot of money by painting your face and standing still forever, the sexy singer formed The Dresden Dolls with drummer Brian Viglione. With a cabaret approach, they generated a devoted cult following via their recordings and tours. Once the team broke up, Amanda began a solo career with the albums Who Killed Amanda Palmer? (2008) and Theater is Evil (2012). Breast of all, she revealed her tats, mams, and muff in the music video Want It Back (2012). The busy babe also performed in the duo Evelyn Evelyn, and as the frontwoman for Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra. Yet Mr. Skin is more interested in her collaboration with The Flaming Lips. In their music video The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (2013), Ms. Palmer shows off her full frontal glory in the bath. Considering such nudity, the video should have been called The First Time Ever I Saw Your Flesh!
