Amanda Palmer is a singer, musician, and performer. After the release of her music video for the song “Leeds United,” Palmer sparked controversy with a post in her blog. She claimed Roadrunner Records had wanted to pull certain shots from the video that exposed her stomach, because “…they thought I looked fat.” After her fans read about this, they posted pictures of their stomachs online with messages to Roadrunner, lyrics, and words of comfort. They then sent their pictures to the record label, and started a web site. The fans coined a term for the movement: The ReBellyon, and put together a book, “The Belly Book,” of over 600 pictures and stories from fans. The book was sold over the internet to fans all over the world. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_Palmer]
