Old news…  Another day, another scandal.  Well, I guess that’s
Hollywood.  

When renowned photographer, Annie Leibovitz, captured this indelicate image of child star sensation, Miley Cyrus, (a.k.a. Hannah Montana) cynicism and inquisition ran rapid.  Even worse was the scandalous repercussion once the photograph hit the glossy pages of elite fashion magazine Vanity Fair, and no doubt was there a universal collective gasp.  But there in lies the point that we can’t help but learn by example. 

So does it really mean that every other 14-year-old girl is going to strip down, drape herself in a satin sheet, and go topless for the camera?  It’s unlikely.  Rants of Disney groupies and verbal pimping spilled through the internet and all along Miley Cyrus was forced to submit a formal apology?  With a fan base of 30 million, one can only assume the message this instilled to impressionable teens everywhere.  While many, in fact, claimed this photo opportunity was simply a creative release of personal character… others devotedly proclaimed the sexually explicit connotation a wanton publicity stunt.
