This morning bright and early I woke up and got on the computer as always. I searched my fav sites and got to people.com. The front and center picture is of America's little darling Miley Cyrus, but wait she doesn't look so darling in this photo! In fact she looks like she should be dancing in an adult club, with her booty shorts and open shirt exposing her metallic bra. Now I'm no prude and I understand that this generation is more open with sexuality than any other before it but this girl JUST turned 17. The reality is that we are surrounded by perverts and molesters, I don't care about the she's a bad role model talk it's almost like I'm worried for her! I don't even want to think about how many nasty people just right clicked and saved that picture for their own private uses (ICK). I get it she's over the Hannah Montana thing and wants to appeal to a greater audience, do it with your music hunny not with your body. I wouldn't call myself a "fan" of her parse but I did enjoy her music when it came on the radio, now I just don't know if I want to listen.
I can already hear the comments coming on this, what about Taylor Launter (he's 17 as well) in New Moon, he has no shirt on and it objectified because of it. Well yes this is true BUT for one it was for a movie role, you don't see Taylor prancing around town shirtless do you? Two it is socially acceptable for a man to be shirtless in public (see Jersey Shore if you want proof) but unacceptable for a women to run around in a bra...ever. On a side note none of these hold true for the beach, obviously you can wear a bikini there and it's fine.
The whole situation isn't fair but either is letting a 17 year old girl dress like a hooker to sell her album. Can you imagine being a 14 year old right now? I remember when I was that age I was completely embarrassed if someone was making out on tv and my parents were in the room, I would be mortified if my idol was dressed like that and my parents saw...but I guess that's just me.
