I posted my thoughts and a link to a Toronto Globe and Mail article about Miley on my blog http://tinyurl.com/3p8e5p

I think, most of all, that we don't make this a bigger deal than it needs to be. We acknowledge it happened, that it was probably unwise and then point to what a wise decision looks like.

Henry, Darnit.. How am I supposed to have permission to freak out with you being so rational? ;)

The photo shoot is probably a marker cueing parents to be diserning regarding possible changes in the lyrical content and video images that Miley will be producing. It's a cue that like Brittany, et al, before her, Miley is reinventing her brand.

I am a fan of Annie Lebowitz's work, BUT at exactly what point do we hold Ms. Lebowitz accountable for even suggesting those poses to a minor? or Miley's father?
Why is all the blame focused on the child? I know Miley is part of the public domain, but she's still a vulnerable minor and the adults around her are the ones who have lost my respect.
