Diamond Tooth Taxidermy: Twenty for Twenty: #10, Amanda Palmer

I hadn't done a Twenty4wenty piece in so long that I had to go back in my blog and check how far along I was. I am honestly kind of shocked to see I'm only up to 10! In my mind I was up to 16.
Oh well, the list changes as I evolve, so I suppose it's a gift to have more breathing room than I'd thought.
Which is fantastic because while I've always taken comfort and even refuge in the Dresdon Doll's album of the same name I can't genuinely say I'm a fan of Amanda Palmer because while I love her voice and to this day am still positively enchanted by the lyrics in The Jeep Song and Girl Anachronism, I never made the effort to explore any more of her body of work.
Then I heard her Ted Talk. Like the uncannily precise lyrics I liked her for, this talk stabbed me in the heart. Money is something I obsess over. Do I have enough of it, how can I get more, where will I get enough to be able to do this, I hope my ankle isn't actually broken because that means I need to wrangle up more money.
Sometimes I think, what if there was no money? What if we all just did what felt right and provided our services and goods as needed or requested and trusted in the fact that it would come back to us? The more I think of it, money is seems more like a middle man, an annoying wind that moves masses of itself from place to place but doesn't MEAN anything.
These are just the thoughts that swirl about my head though, I'm not describing Amanda's talk in any way the does it justice. See for yourself if you haven't already:

Imagine my surprise when the stars aligned and the universe presented me (OK, I cajoled a bit) with the opportunity to pass a gift onto Amanda Palmer with just one simple middleman.
I think she's positively dripping with juju so it only seems fitting that she receive a Baculum Charm. Also from what I gather she travels a shitload, and handing over a hatbox to someone about to take a bunch of planes and trains seems like a rude thing to do.
SO VOILA:
