Miley Cyrus and the Camera… one of two
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.
i am not very up to date with Hollywood news :)but yeah, I’ve heard of this very celebrated news in TV. I know some of my students probably were all agog with Hanna Montanah, dumb me, I don’t even know who she is
But I think she is popular enough to need a wanton publicity stunt, so, I am not sure what her reasons were when she agreed to be photographed “for creative art”, considering she is only 14. But aren’t they, being kids still, supposed to have parents consent first before agreeing to any major pictorial? Sorry I ask, am just exposing my igonorance 
And yeah, that was we in the picture by Tenaya Lake. Thanks for the compliment
