I sure hope she doesn't go the way of the others because my little girls really like her. They are too young to have been fans of Brittney or Lindsey Lohan.

Originally Posted By alexbook ^-Sorry. I had misunderstood about Grandma vs. the parents. Still weird, though.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I think everyone concerned was initially convinced that the photos were tastefully done, only to realize after the fact that there is no such thing as a tastefully done risqué picture of a 15-year-old.

Miley has unusual looking teeth and mouth, and the girl that looks just like her in that photo (the green bra pic.) does too. I think she may be headed down the wrong road. Parents on-line are talking about throwing away all their kids Miley and Hannah Montana stuff.

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Okay lets just say it - I saw the picture - it's very unattractive. I am wondering why anyone would choose that picture and if it wasn't to make it contraversial - therefore sell more magazines. Maybe Mommy and Daddy should rethink Miley having her own wing with private entrance in the house - maybe it's time to start parenting again and worry less about making sure Miley is seen anywhere and everywhere!

And for the record, no picture of a 15 year old little girl posed like that is "tasteful". I know of people who have been arrested for having pictures like that on their hard drive.
Originally Posted By Elderp Miley Cyrus can pose nude and it's legal, but if a 15 gets married it isn't ok. I don't agree with either but it poses an interesting view of what the norms are in this society.

Originally Posted By jdub This little girl has "her own wing with private entrance"?!?!?! That is just, no matter how ya slice it, BAD PARENTING. Also, the time to be embarassed is BEFORE the photos see print. THEY WERE DIGITAL. Did she and whoever was supervising not realize that clothes had been shed--even after seeing the shots? The whole thing seems disengenuous on all sides-- --it seems several folks (some of them named Cyrus) should perhaps be issued a drool cup & a nurse. Bottom line, though--I have no opinion at all on this matter.

What is really unfortunate is no matter how bad a decision it was for Miley to pose, Leibovitz to suggest it, for Parents to allow it, Vanity Fair is the one who decided to put this on their cover!?!?!??!? Not sure why they would think this was the best choice. The news said with all the buzz already and there still being a month until it comes out, it is sure to be a big seller! By who - pedophiles - This is just wrong - and wrong by ALL who were there!
