What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : inappropriate for a 15
year old no matter what the circumstance.
Name : MK
Hometown : Philadelphia
What do you think about
the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think that pic of her really
doesn't even look good..it kind of looks like a picture of a corps?!?!--Am I the
only one who thinks that? I think people should live their lives how they want
to live it, but when you are a celebrity, you should know that whatever you do
will make it to the public eye--ESPECIALLY something like this. She should have
thought about the outcomes of the pictures before she went in front of the
camera instead of waiting until the picteres were out to apologize. She is only
15, and I know that age can have its difficult moments when trying to pre-judge
actions, but her parents DEFINITELY should have seen this coming. I feel bad for
her because she is so young and her parents obviously don't care about all the
bad media coming out of this. My nieces love her and they are only 6 and 7!?!--I
don't think those pics are appropriate for children that age, so you do have to
think about your fan base when taking action like this. It's probably just a PR
stunt to get her in the lime light even more than she already was?!?!
Name : Hannah
Hometown : Nashville
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think the picture is
fine. i dont know why there is so much drama and talk about the photos. and now
her show might not even air anymore. all because SOME people think its
inappropriate. She is 15 for heavensake. Stop putting SO MUCH pressure on this
girl. if you dont agree that the picture is fine, then your just jealous of her.
and thats too Bad! Miley, keep living up your dream. Love always, Hannah
Name : Rachael
Hometown : Phoenixville
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : The photo would have been
artsy if the poser was 18 years old. She's not a legal adult, she was clearly
not wearing a shirt. For someone of her age, it was inappropriate for the
photographer to take those for an international website. I'm fifteen years old
as well, and I might have done the same thing if I was Miley, but they would not
have ended up in public. I think she's trying to live like every other teenage
girl, but she needs to realize that she is not every other teenage girl- she's a
superstar with a very young fan base. I don't think Miley should have to
apologize for these photos, but they were more inappropriate than artsy.
Name : Tony
Hometown : Newark
What do you think about the
photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : What kid reads Vanity Fair?It's only
a big issue because the media makes it a big issue.Now every kid in America will
see or know about the photographs and think its wrong instead of art.If parents
don't like it,then maybe they should try to be someone their kids can look up
too!
Name : Barbara
Hometown : Bear,De.
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : Inappropriate,and the
people that agree to things like this are the reasons why we keep edging our way
toward bigger and worse things then suddenly we look back and see how far over
the limit we've really gone but then we just keep going anyway.
Name : Elissa
Hometown : Folsom
What do you think about
the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I loved Billy Raye when I was a
child but I was shocked and appalled that he allowed his 15 year old daughter
take those pictures! I myself am 23 and would never be caught dead taking
pictures like that especially with my father! Billy Raye should be ashamed!
Name : Allison
Hometown : Pennsylvania
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think this photo is
inappropriate. But she apoligized and thats what matters. I will still watch her
shows. I still look up to her even know she made a mistake. She is still my
favorite Disney singer and actor.
Name : Hannah
Hometown : Dover
What do you think about
the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think the photo is very
inapropiate. Why would she choose to pose for these so called artists and then
apologize.It was her choice theres no changing it. Miley's idea is in the past
now.
Name : Maia
Hometown : Pennslyvania
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : Before I hated Miley
because I thought she was cheesy and stupid. In this photo she looks like a
beautiful model and that is something I admire.
Name : Lynne
Hometown : Phillipsburg NJ
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : inappropriate to be viewed
by the public
Name : Lois
Hometown : New Castle, De
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think it's artsy. Miley,
like all child stars, is becoming a young woman, and the public is shocked by
the realization. It shows no more "flesh" or provacativity than many "bath soap"
commericals to which our children are exposed to on a daily basics..except it
Miley.
Name : Jina
Hometown : coatesville, pa
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : As an serious amateur
photographer, this may be some of Annie L.'s best work. As she certainly has
achieved the look and feel of an dutch oil painting. However it is wholly
inappropriate for anybody under the age of 21 period. If I were a parent my
children would be supporters of those with real talent and not those
manufactured by mega corporations with no concern or not if they are selling
children snake oil from jump. My personal opinion on Cyrus is her talents have
fallen very far from her father's tree. I don't watch or support her efforts,
nor would I allow if I had children to do the same. The ones I'm close to are
thankfully not among the cult of Hanna Montana. As to the whole photo shot blame
can be laid around all around, especially with the so called adults who should
have had the final say over what got taken, what got used and what finally made
to print. The apology is shallow now.
Name : Maria
Hometown : Montgomery Township, PA
What do
you think about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : She is 15 years
old after all. A minor. Inappropriate in my opinion. I know people say you see
this on the beach with teens in bikinis etc, but it's expected there. That is a
natural environment for bikinis. Miley's situation is deliberate and calculated.
Miley has a "come hither" look and it is a seductive pose with her being
topless. I think she and her family were pressured to get even more celebrity
and caved-in to the pressure of stardom. It's a shame. I would not let my 15
year old pose like this for a photo. Annie L. could have chosen to do a nice
artsy shot that was more age-appropriate.
Name : Marie
Hometown : Florida
What do you think about
the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think the photo was artsy
because everyone is making a big deal out of nothing. Its just photos she said
she was sorry so they should just get over it and she made a mistake. She is
teenager that is only 15 and she is going to make mistakes like that and
everyone makes mistakes. I mean i just don't get why all of her fans are mad at
her she said she was sorry. What i think is that everyone should just stop
talking about it and leave that girl alone your putting a lot of pressure on her
and i also think that is not a big deal and people need to get over It.
Name : Doris
Hometown : Stroudsburg
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think the pictures are
not exploiting at all. If she wanted to pose that way, so be it. I have seen
much worse.
Name : melanie
Hometown : chester county, pa
What do you
think about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think the photo
was her and her family's choice. Who are we to judge?? My daughter who is 7,
just loves her. I am not going to stop her from watching her show!! People
forget that she is a celebrity and that she is growing up. She has nothing to
apoligize for. Just remember she is a teenager. Everything she does will be put
in the spotlight!! Just imagine if other teens out there had every picture of
them with friends and every move the make in the public eye. No one would look
perfect. I do not see any problems with the pictures that the magazine took.
Name : Mom
Hometown : Maple Shade
What do you think about
the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : Annie's photos are beautiful,
but, Miley should have said "no,I'm only 14". Mom and Dad should have said no
FIRST.
Name : Kathryn Holmes
Hometown : Delran
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I honestly believe Miley's
parents lost what sense they had. They were present for the photo shoot and
allowed their 15 year old child to pose in such a manner. They are way more
concerned with making money than with guiding their daughter down the correct
path.
Name : Erica
Hometown :
What do you think about the
photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I checked out the pics she is a
beautiful girl the pics of her are wonderful with herself and the ones with her
father but why do these young girl think they have to take their cloths off to
look good for poto shots?
Name : embarresed
Hometown : philly
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : i have a 11 year old
girl.......this country should be be emarrased over this...i would never ever
want the ......MONEY........OR ....FAME.........to have my daughter exposed like
that...MONEY.....GREEEEEED...MONEY.......AND ......GREED....this is a sad day in
my life...what ever happened to our morals...????????
Name : Tina
Hometown : McGuire AFB, NJ
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I don't think the photo is
all that bad and usually she is a sensible girl who has good parents. I think
people should just chalk it up to a session that wasn't what she thought it
would be and leave her alone. All this fuss is just stupid to me.
Name : Lance
Hometown : Ephrata, PA
What do you think
about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I can't understand the big
flap. With teens and preteens sending pics, nude and non nude, with their cell
phones, those pics are tame. Seems like most of the people that are complaining,
have spent the last 20n years in a cave on Mars.
Name : Brooke
Hometown : Philadelphia
What do you think about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I think it's a shame she would put herself out there like that it's very inappropriate.
Name : John
Hometown : Philadelphia
What do you think about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : It was artsy she has nothing to be embarrassed about.
Name : Leonard
Hometown : Newark, De
What do you think about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : It is stupid that her dad would let this happen in the first place. As a parent myself, I would not let my daughter make such pictures, let alone pose like that with her! They posed like they were a couple and not father and daughter. It is his responsibility to protect her and not exploit her!
Name : Jazzy
Hometown : Vineland, NJ
What do you think about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : I don't think the photos were inappropriate at all. To me, it does look artsy. Shame on those who has a sick mentality. She seems like she's going to be a lot smarter than other young celebs. This is something small that people can exaggerate on just to make money.
Name : Pete Smith
Hometown : Leola, Pa
What do you think about the photo? Was it artsy or inappropriate? : If I had taken a picture like that of a 15 year old girl an posted it on the internet then I would have been arrested as a sexual predator!
