You may have that right.

To everybody else was she supposed to stay a “tween” forever.

Even Annette Funicello grew up from mousedom.

“Even Annette Funicello grew up from mousedom.”

Anette might have worn a two piece bathing suit on a beach blanket, but she never became a slut.

This is all just sad & pathetic.

Yeah, but when Annette grew up, she made a couple of records then starred with Frankie Avalon in that series of beach movies. She never showed her navel, her characters were always upstanding young ladies, and she and Frankie never had any kind of hot, steamy sex scenes. She got married, had a couple of kids, sadly divorced the guy, got married again, and wrote a biography. She's been in the news off and on, not because of some tape that was found of her and Micky Mouse doin' the humpty dance, but because her health is failing. MS, I believe. Annette's always been a class act, and she's what Miley should aspire to. She can still take some kind of stand, keep herself clean, not go the Madonna route, and hey, even take singing lessons to expand her talent. Sure, Annette lost her mouse ears when she got older, but kept her dignity.
