"I was embarrassed," she tells Billboard magazine, "but also it's like, every career thing that I do can't be perfect, and sometimes my decisions are wrong. I think that just makes me even more relatable.
Of course, she's talking about the infamous Vanity Fair photos by Annie Leibovitz. I still can't figure out why Miley Cyrus was on the cover of the magazine to begin with.....she's 15 years old. Isn't Vanity Fair a magazine that features stories on highbrow artists, "old" world entertainers, and corporate scandals, while at the same time promoting their left wing politics? Where's the tween audience?
This just proves that even a respected magazine and photographer aren't afraid to get their hands a little dirty in order to increase circulation. Was I the only person who thought the pic with her dad was even creepier? And where was Disney in all of this? You'd think they'd have a lot to say when it comes to the branding of a little known product as "Hannah Montana".
So, why is Miley Cyrus still apologizing? Last I checked she was just 15 --not technically an adult -- and did not choose to do that photo on her own. She certainly did not style herself in those photos, and I'm sure that more than one of her handlers was present for the shoot. Isn't someone --Jim Humphrey-- out there getting paid a lot of money to manage her career?
When I was 15, the biggest decisions I made had to do with what I was wearing, or which boy crush I was going to anonymously call a hundred times a day. Even when I got in trouble, my parents were expected to take the blame. Why is everyone holding Miley Cyrus to a higher standard?
