Now that I have kids & I am 100 x more strict then my two hippy parents- I would be really upset if my daughter wanted to get some sort of glamor shots like that at 15. I don't really know too much about Miley- but I find it creepy that her Dad was there. Why would you let your daughter pose like that. Nobody poses naked under a bed sheet unless it is about sex. It's not really about being glamorous or looking more grown up, it's about making a little girl look like a sex object. I really think there are some weirdo old guys looking at her now even more then they probably already were- thinking that little girl is hot and that is disgusting. Billy Ray should be ashamed of himself- why would he do something so stupid, just for publicity. As far as her watching sex & the city. I don't even watch sex & the city. I know I have a pretty off the wall sense of humor but really I enjoy my own little pg rated world. I could see doing something like that myself at that age- because I was way out of control.

At 15 my mother would never would have let me watch SATC. I think a ton if not all is the parents responsibility to step in and say "no" that is not a look for my daughter. <em>Kim's last blog post..<a href='http://www.joggingincircles.com/journal/2008/5/2/what-moms-think-about-good-dads.html' rel="nofollow">What Moms think about good Dads</a></em> I was listening to a discussion about this on the radio and it stated that her favorite TV show was sex and the city.

I found this through WW........ I got the impression that she was in a hurry to look more mature, more glamorous, grown-up. I thought that the photo was a lovely photo and it must have been thrilling to work with such an established and famous photographer, but it reminded me of being that age and being in such a hurry to grow up. Sometimes I think that kids don't get it, they don't get what a wonderful thing it is to be a kid until they are adults looking back. By then, it's too late. You can't go back and do it again slowly. I know that I would hate to live in that spotlight and I'd never want to put my kids through it. <em>Michelle's last blog post..<a href='http://askewtoyou.blogspot.com/2008/04/wordless-wednesday.html' rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday</a></em> Hi.

She has time to grow naturally from Hannah to Miley. What's the hurry? Look what trying to jump line got for Britney, Jamie, the Olsens and the others. <em>Tara R.'s last blog post..<a href='http://ifmomsaysok.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/random-wednesday-25/' rel="nofollow">Random Wednesday</a></em> She is only 15… as popular as she is, she should be around for years to come.

The other thing that bothers me is that Miley herself said that she saw it as an innocent, artistic shot. If that's the impression of acceptable innocence in her world, then we have a major problem. Madonna worked the system (and continues to). Miley is getting worked by the system. So sad. I couldn't agree more with what you've said here. I think she will learn a lot from this, but I hope her parents learn more from it. Any way you slice it, they are responsible. <em>pete's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mygpscameraphone/~3/280223583/stick-with-me-and-ill-make-you-famous' rel="nofollow">Stick with Me and I’ll Make You Famous</a></em> What bothers me the most is that her parents and “minders” (as they were called in some article I read) allowed this.

I will not be talking to my daughters about this (as they are younger and I don't want to stir that pot just yet) but I am keeping an eye on the situation. She hopefully will stay true to her roots from here on out and chill on the stupid publicity stunts. I couldn’t agree more.
