Miley Cyrus: 'I'm Not Trying To Be Slutty' http://ping.fm/N34kz
She says as she goes onstage wearing this and a whole department store worth of makeup. Where the hell are this girl's parents? I would be telling her to put on a damn skirt or pair of pants with this get-up! And lest anyone think I have a double standard in my thinking, if I had a son who wore his pants down around his thighs so his boxer-clad ass was hanging out, I'd be telling him to pull them up! Fortunately my son always had the sense to wear real pants.
Seriously, I would feel naked wearing the Miley get-up on stage. This is only appropriate for the swimming pool. So unless she's performing at a pool party, this outfit is completely inappropriate.
Yes, if she was performing at a pool party or beach party, what she's wearing is acceptable. Otherwise, were I her mother, I would insist that she put on a skirt, a decent pair of shorts (not skin-tight camel toe inducing ones) or a pair of pants. I would like to know where this girl's parents are. I would not allow my seventeen year old daughter to perform looking like a go-go dancer.
Before anyone accuses me of a double standard, I would hold my son to the same standards. Only boys are usually not encouraged to be sexpots in this society.
Miley is too young to know it but she could be a very positive role model for girls by showing that they do not have to fall into the trap of thinking they need to put themselves on display as sex objects. It is perfectly possible to be attractive and appealing without wearing clothing that is too revealing or suggestive. I'm not much for "pop tarts" in general, but I would say that from what I recall, Hillary Duff never did the "sexpot" thing. I would much rather have a daughter or granddaughter admiring someone like her than trying to emulate what Miley is becoming.
Where is Dad in all this? She's still young enough that he could tell her to put on some actual clothes when she performs. As I said, that outfit is appropriate--if she's performing at a beach party. Otherwise, no. Her father doesn't seem like he gives a rat's patoot that his daughter is performing dressed like a go-go dancer. I think he may be living vicariously through her since his spotlight dwindled years ago.
