“Map of Tasmania”, Amanda Palmer’s Ode To Pubic Hair

Not sure how popular this euphemism is, but calling women’s pubic hair a “Map Of Tasmania” makes a lot of sense. It’s detached, located to the south and Tasmania’s inverted triangle is the most pubic-y landmass in the world. A fact not lost on ex-Dresden Dolls frontwoman Amanda Palmer whose video for “Map of Tasmania” includes custom made merkins fashioned from flowers, a box of chocolates, picture frames and wads of cash. The song’s pretty catchy too.

“Map Of Tasmania” comes from Palmer’s forthcoming album which gleefully reinforces her fascination with both Australia and genitals, “Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under”, out January 21st.
