The Evelyn Evelyn controversy

Eva and Lyn Neville are allegedly conjoined twin musicians discovered by Dresden Dolls singer Amanda Palmer and her musician pal Jason Webley. Together the sisters (who just happen to bear an uncanny resemblance to Palmer and Webley in drag) are known as Evelyn Evelyn, and they have a world tour planned to support the release of their self-titled CD. The cute (but very much not safe for work) cartoon above is a music video for Evelyn Evelyn's song Have You Seen My Sister Evelyn, which should give you a taste of the pair's weird but toe-tapping style.

Evelyn Evelyn has been a very controversial project, with feminist bloggers and disability rights activists accusing the pair of being callous and tasteless. Palmer and Webley are both doing some rather desperate damage control, but as of now the CD and world tour are still scheduled to go ahead. It has been said that no PR is bad PR, but at this point I believe that Palmer and Webley would beg to differ.
