Miley Cyrus....Role Model?

Ok...allow me to get on my soapbox for a minute here.  A Year or two ago,famed photographer Annie Leibovitz took some pictures of Miley Cyrus for Vanity Fair.  In those pictures she was topless but covered with a sheet and in my opinion looked great and was a beautiful photograph  as you can see here...


People went mental saying how wrong it was and how this girl is supposed to be a role model for young girls and it's too provocative and they even went as far as to call it "Child porn" in some cases.


Fast Forward to the 2010 Much Music Video Awards, which were held in Toronto last night with a now 17 year old Miley as host.  She opened the show with this conservative ensemble....

Ummmm....what?  How is this better?  What kind of example is she setting for todays young girls by getting her stage outfits at the same stores that "Mercedes" the local stripper gets her clothes?  I'm sorry but the whole double standard needs to stop.  Either she's a wholesome child star or a sex-pot-pop star.  If a bear back was too provocative for 15-16 year old Miley...how is this sexually charged outfit any better for the 17 year old version.  I wonder how long it will be before she trainwrecks a-la Lindsay Lohan?  it's all a matter of time.

Climbing down now :)
