New York — On a cool, wintry afternoon in early March, a crowd of people streamed towards New York’s Washington Square Park for a Miley Cyrus lookalike contest.
Many in the audience were die-hard Hannah Montana fans, including Iranian-American cousins, Sophia, 23, and Ariana Parizadeh, 22. Growing up the children of immigrants in strict households, they remembered childhoods spent secretly watching Hannah Montana’s double-life unfold, her days split between being a regular girl and a pop star, and how it reminded them of their own lives as they navigated home life and school.
“Going between home and school, I felt like I had to code switch,” Sophia said. At home, she and her cousin spoke Farsi, and were encouraged to become doctors or lawyers. At school, they spoke English and tried to fit in like any other child.
“I felt there were different personality traits of mine that came to light in both situations,” she said, recalling summers spent in Iran. “Coming back here when school started, I was also a different version of myself.”

Gotta stop marginalizing kids now. They are victims, don’t you know!
Reminds me of the horror movie: “Honey, I Marginalized the Kids”!
Miley Cyrus may not be the best role model....

If CNN is hyping her, I have few doubts she would be.
Smiley Virus?
Who knew...
More like hills.
Have you ever viewed the Grand Tetons from somewhat afar [especially from the west]?
Just how old is that hoe?
Ayup. And that's why they're named the Grand Tetons.

********************
Yes, not too long ago. I really prefer to view the Grand Tetons up close, though.
I kinda like Miley, she’s got attitude, like Trump sort of she just lays it out there, critics be damned.
Close up, they are very difficult to mount, if you know what I mean.
Lizzie McGuire was a more wholesome show, and Hilary Duff went on to be a serious actress.
It’s not the age ... it’s the mileage ...
Could be a 2D plot.
Hot-Crazy Matrix comes to mind.
foothills
Absolutely.
👍 I like her work.
Indeed.
