Maris, I think it would be boobs job.

Just for giggles, where is the error in Nyheat's question? -

I guess in the this case, the verb usage is correct, or acceptable.

I had forgotten about Brooke and the Calvin ads. At the time, I was an impressable "tween" and I just remember wishing I was that pretty and sexy. Looking back on it as an adult, I am just as uncomfortable with her age in the ads as I am with Miley's. I'd like to think that as a society we have evolved a bit in understanding what kind of pressure that puts on young girls and what kind of damage that can do to them when they are sexualized at such a young age.

Or maybe I am just becoming a prude as I barrel down towards 40!

Ironically enough, I just checked out a book by Nabokov - he of Lolita fame. LOL!

I'm really not sure what to think of the Miley photos. I try real hard to not be prudish about nudity. We all have a body right? I think us Americans over react to nudity all the time. But I can't help but wonder why it's necessary to photograph a teenager half nude? And wrap her in a bedsheet? That feels wrong to me. To us adults, the bedsheet implies things. But does it to a pre-teen? Or to them is a bed sheet no different than a blanket or a scarf or a tent? Are the photos sexualizing her? Or are our adult views sexualizing her? I don't really know.

Those Calvin ads were not well received at the time either. They were considered kiddie porn by many.

I don't like the sheet shots anymore than I liked the Calvin ads. I think they are exploitative of these young girls.

<Lol, did anyone notice the error in my last post? Nyheat, I did some proofreading years ago. Now I type like a carp too.>

At the time, Brooks mother Teri was seen as being a very grasping stage mother. The movies Pretty Baby and Blue Lagoon were in the same league as the ads. (especially Pretty Baby was seen as exploiting Brooke's sexuality)

Luckily Brooke is so well-balanced as an adult. I really like her. Which brings us back to Tom Cruise! lol

Maybe Tom should have shown us a little more (you know, when he was sexy <100>) and then maybe he'd be a more balanced adult.

The good news is that Miley's dad was there so nothing inappropriate could really take place. The bad news is that Miley's dad was there and it all went to hell in a handcart anyways. Personally I think the Cyrus family was fine with it, til PROBABLY some Disney exec had a cow and said 'WHAT were you thinking?' All of a sudden, they are NOW mortified. (Big Hooey!) Frankly it's much ado about nothing. If she turns out half as terrific as Brooke she'll be fine. :-)

Same here, I think they were cool with it until some backlash started. And that surprises me because Miley works for DISNEY and the followers of her show are as young as 7/8! Hello!

I hope she does turn out okay, but frankly, every time I look at her, I see a flashing neon sign over her head reading "Stay tuned for Britney II!"

"CSI's" Gary Dourdan was busted in Palm Springs yesterday on suspicion of possessing heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the actor was asleep in his car at 5:21 AM when they approached the vehicle and made the bust.

No wonder his contract wasnt renewed. I guess they must have had a problem with him. Too bad, I really liked him as an actor.

Dang about Gary Dourdan. (I think he's got the most gorgeous eyes) It's a shame about the drugs. I hope he gets help.

I already hated that we were going to lose his character on CSI, but hate more that he's got this problem.

I have to say I'm intensely disappointed in Annie Liebowitz for her participation in, possibly instigation of, the pimping of this 15-year-old girl. I've always been a fan of her ethereal photographs, but I certainly would have expected Liebowitz to have executed something more imaginative than a 15-year-old looking like she wants or just had it, even though she doesn't have much of a clue what she wants or what she just (suggestively) had. Seriously, we've spent the past few years watching child stars who were sexualized in their mid-teens go through drug and mental/emotional-related melt-downs. It doesn't take a genious to recognize that a 15-year-old stands to gain nothing, but to lose more than a few things, by this type of FM posturing for mass media. Stupid that she did it, but then again she's been taking pants-pulled-down self-portraits for some time, but seriously. Shame. On. Her. Parents. Who know she's been flirting with photo-ho territory for some time, to allow this to happen to her.

Billy Ray is saying he had left the photo shoot before those particular ahots were taken and he wouldn't have allowed that to happen.

But I heaed that Vanity Fair may have some rebuttal in the form of the video..

My 11-year-old daughter watches Hannah Montana on Disney. She's part of the target audience and I'm appalled at the photos. I greatly respect the photographer's past work but not this. I thought it was possible that we finally had a good roll model for the 'tween set.

Needless to say, my 'tween won't be seeing any of the photos. She freaks if an 1/8th" of her abdomen shows while picking a new outfit. Won't wear dresses above her knees or sleeveless ones either. This past week we were shopping for swimsuits for this summer and it was nearly impossible. She completely dismissed anything 2 pc., with spaghetti straps, or a scoop back. She'll only wear racer suits with the high back. Oh, and shorts have to reach nearly to her knees or she votes know. I may be unconsciously raising a prude but I don't have to worry about her idolizing Brittney, Lindsay or any of their ilk.

I have a question. I remember when I first saw GREASE. I totally loved the way Sandy dressed in the first part of the movie. I remember thinking she looked way too trampy at the end. Now I was only about 13 when I saw it. Of course now when I see it, I certainly don't think Sandy is that trampy. Okay, my question is did anyone else ever think Sandy (at the end of GREASE) looked trampy or too sexy??

Sandy trampy?? Nah, she was too much of a good girl for that no matter what she was wearing.
