So this is a picture of Miley Cyrus in the new Vanity Fair, shot by Annie Lebovitz. It was reportedly meant to be "artistic," but now Miley says she's embarrassed at how it turned out. I am a fan of Annie Lebovitz's work and can see the intended artistic value in this. I'm even not completely opposed to Miley Cyris. I saw her movie (for a school project...media studies is a great major) and she's actually a really good performer and a cute girl. I have no problems with my younger cousins being fans of hers. However, the way she has been marketed is really problematic. She's oversexualized and this picture is clearly a continuation of that sad trend. She's only 15! I feel like this is bordering on kiddie porn, which is so sad not only for her, but for her fans too. Photo shoots like these aren't going to help matters. Fifteen is too young to be doing "artistic" shots like this. It has to be possible for kids to be celebrities and not whores or drug addicts. DJ from Full House did it...granted she was the only 1 of 4 Tanner kids not involved with whorism or drugs, but she shows it's possible.
Come on young Hollywood, get your act together! And young Hollywood parents, start using better judgment! Please!
