I encourage my girls to model after this girl, Amanda Bynes
So far, she's been squeaky clean.
But when the time comes for an accounting of what one does with their life a rude awakening will no doubt occur.
The only surprising part of this is that anyone is surprised.
I can't beleive the first thought in their head would not be "This is a 15 year old girl! HELL NO you can't that picture!"
Oh for the days when Annette Funichello was the Disney role model.
Meanwhile, maybe we better buy all the Vanity Fair mags on the market! They might be as valuable as the Traci Lords Penthouse mags! 5-10 years also!

Let’s not be prudish here. I saw the photo in question; while the image is intended to be erotic, there is nothing distasteful or obscene about it. The young lady in it is showing less skin than she would in a bathing suit.
Anyway, the sexualization of kids by the House of Mouse is nothing new. Since the days of Annette Funicello and Hayley Mills, Disney has made plenty of money of selling jailbait images to adult men disguised as entertainment for children. Why get upset about it now?
I detect a whiff of hypocrisy in the furor over Miley Cyrus. It’s a fact that a lot of men are secretly attracted to girls her age; otherwise, there would be no market for images such as this. The fact that this is a news story at all indicates to me that a great many men are secretly fascinated by the idea of erotic images of teenage girls, but feel guilty about it. Those in the public who are outraged over this photo shoot should perhaps choose instead to reflect upon their own interest in the topic.
As for me, I have no interest in Miley Cyrus, clothed or not. She’s just a kid as far as I am concerned. What I am interested in is the media furor that surrounds celebrities in our society. The fact that this story is front page news is troubling. Why so much attention to this seemingly unimportant incident?
I agree that our society is way too promiscuous and that kids are unfortunately having sex thrown at them everywhere. I also agree that the picture she took with her dad was disturbing because it appeared to try and sexualize that relationship. However, I don’t understand the uproar over the supposedly nude photograph. I have seen the photograph and it didn’t really strike me as sensual or even sexual. If anything it reminded me of the picture on the cover of the CD set for the broadway play Les Miserables - where the little girl is shown attired in rags. In other words, She looks like a scared little girl who is inadquately clothed rather than someone who is trying to pose in a sexually provocative manner. So, I think people should take her apology at face value and move on.
I understand where the author of this article is coming from, but his choice of a title for the piece ("Hannah Montana Does Playboy") is pretty tasteless itself and might be worthy of a lawsuit. That is, unless I missed something and she actually is going to pose for Playboy.
Annie Liebovitz should be under arrest. As part of the New York area degeneratti she thinks that filth is beautiful.
“Hannah Montana Does Playboy”
Talk about hyperbole
That’s his concept of “Playboy”? He must be the one writing the legislation to get rid of “adult magazines” at military bases.
Gee, I can spend $800 on a ticket to see this little slut or I can invest my money so that I can become wealthier????? HHHmmmmm???? HHHHHmmmmmm???
It isn’t a mattter of how much skin she is or isn’t showing, it is the matter of offering up a teenaged girl as a sexual fantasy that is the problem, pandering to pedophiles.
Annie L may well be a great photographer but she took innapropriate liberties with this 15 year old. I think she took this shot knowing full well the firestorm she could create in fly-over country. That said, Billy Ray should have known better as well.
