May 6, 2008 Tell me Tuesday
So, you ask what a think of the Miley Cyrus picture in Vanity Fair.
This picture should not be making national headlines and dominating our discussions. This wasn't a provocative photo taken by Miley and posted on some website for everyone to gawk at. Annie Lebowitz is a renowned photographer and the shots that she took of Miley are simply meant to be art. If the firestorm stirred up by the media had never begun, I doubt very much that most of the girls that idolize her would even have seen the picture. How many tween girls do you know that read Vanity Fair? Below is the actual photo and another photo taken on the set. If you want my personal opinion, I think they photo shopped the image they used because she is not nearly as uncovered in the picture during the photo session and she doesn't look nearly so pale either.
Second, this is not the worst thing she could have done. She was not out drinking and driving. She was not arrested with drugs. She is not pregnant. She simply in her professional life snapped shots for an article. I'm pretty sure I can go to the mall on any given day and find at least a hundred girls who have less clothes on then she did in that photo. They are dressing to get men's attention. Not the intention of this photo at all. In fact, some prom dresses have lower backs and cover less skin than the sheet she was holding.
Miley Cyrus is definitely still someone that I will have no problem letting my daughter look up to. But with everything in this world it has to be done with parental guidance especially since very little of what we see in the world lives up to the high standards I set for my own children.
My real question for everyone would be........ Do you have a photo stashed somewhere that you would be embarrassed if it were flashed on the front of a magazine for everyone to see?

My favorite of these simple pleasures right now is the large vanilla cone dipped in chocolate. Growing up in a small town, there was a local ice cream shop and I this was my favorite even then. Well, I've recently discovered the Dairy Hut in town and in the last 3 weeks I've probably had 3, not including the medium I settled for when I only had enough money on me for that size. It is so fun to eat away the chocolate coating and get to the creamy vanilla ice cream inside. And just about the time you think you can't eat anymore you get to the cone and it tastes so yummy that you can't stop. Before you know it, the whole thing is gone and you swear you'll get a small next time. The only problem is, you can't convince yourself the next time, not to order the large because it really is the "best value". I know, I'll never fit it that itty bitty teeny weeny bikini at this rate. Luckily, that place is only open for the summer!
