Miley Fails at Parenting

Reading: Pretties Scott Westerfield

I woke up this morning to my favorite AM radio show, Scott Fox and the Z103.5 Morning Show. Between the traffic reports and usuall banter there is discussion of last nights Much Music Video Awards hosted by Miley Cyrus. Surprise, surprise: fresh scandal. It seems Miss Cyrus once again has scandalised concerned parents and self-righteous bloggers everywhere with her skin-baring costumes. Apparently as a role model, these outfits are far too risque to be viewed by the impressionable minds of our young children. One article seemed offended that Cyrus had "been turning her back on her clean-cut past" since leaving the show that made her famous and even go on to point out that, "as a role-model to teenagers and with many young fans in the audience ... perhapse [her] outfits were a tad unsuitable for the family show" (The Daily Mail). Does no one remember Lady Gaga last year? Let me refresh you:

Oh yes. This is so much worse

I actually think the one above is fabulous. It looks so cool. It's a costume, she's not wearing it out. In fact, this is what she wore to rehersals earlier that day



Apart from Lady Gaga, I don't think anyone really carries their stage persona into their daily life. Beyonce even gave her's a separate name. As for all those outraged parents and young children supposedly in the audience, why are they there? It's the MMVA's not a Jonas Brother's concert. Maybe these people should raise their children themselves instead of counting on a 17 year-old to do it for them.
