The NY Times visited the corner of 61st Street and Amsterdam to find out what New York adolescent girls at the alterna-Beacon School think of "role model" Miley Cyrus. Recently the 15-year-old actress was caught flaunting her bare skin online and in print.
While some of the young ladies were fans (or rather, they "love-hate" her), the Vanity Fair photoshoot had them blurting out words like "whore" and "slut". There is, apparently, a fine line between dressing "sexy," as they consider themselves to do, and dressing like you're eight seconds from ecstasy ("her hair damp, her back bare, a sheet draped over her front").
“Is this who we’re supposed to be growing up to be?” asked the young woman. She wore sunglasses, a tight baby-T and short shorts over black leggings. “I don’t want to be that,” she said. “It’s sending a message that girls are supposed to be whores.”Another 15-year-old said that she could totally, like, care less about this Hannah Montana chick — "she and her friends act and dress the way they do because those choices help them express themselves." She added, “I smoke. I made that decision myself — I didn’t see someone doing it in a magazine and say, ‘Oh, I want to smoke.’” She then ran home to slam the door in her parents faces and...OMFG! Shouldn't the watchers of today's youth be more worried about this Gossip Girl show?Ms. Leibovitz, in responding to criticism, expressed much the same sentiments, adding, by way of apology, “I am sorry that my image of Miley has been misinterpreted.”

Is there a reason you just re-posted one of the dumber items from today's Times? I mean seriously, they think she's a slut? Like, OMG! That's so their choice!
That's all jen does. I'm not being mean, but step up you're game. You can't just repost the style section of the times everyday.
prolly nothing happened in nyc today to talk about...(smacks gum)...never does (smacks gum)
“I smoke. I made that decision myself — I didn’t see someone doing it in a magazine and say, ‘Oh, I want to smoke.’”
no, you didn't see it in a magazine, you saw it in a movie.
smoking in movies is the most distracting, kind of product placement there is, because they pretend it's part of the character.
only tina fey's sabor de soledad cheetos are.
also, why aren't there pictures of the little whores that were interviewed?
the Vanity Fair photoshoot had them blurting out words like "whore" and "slut".
someone please tell the Real Housewives of NY that a Manhattan education doesn't guarantee their kids won't be just as idiotic as those in the suburbs.
this is some serious hard hitting journalism from the NY times. Wait, I'm not being sarcastic. Don't walk away in a huff!
The smoker girl is so dumb. If you didn't start smoking because of external influences, then why did you start? I can't think of anyone who would say they started because it just tasted sooooo good. Even smokers admit that it was nasty when they started and they eventually grew accustomed and addicted to it.
We went too many days without at mention of "Gossip Girl." I was getting worried... whew!
"OMFG! More whores!"
Update: Miley Cyrus is still not news, nor is anyone's opinion of her.
I was ashamed and embarrassed for her because her parent left her to the sharks as an underage, undeveloped morally immature child, yes, CHILD to be exploited for material gain. I am sure Mr Cyrus is royally pissed as I would be. And being Hanna Montana, something that has gone way to her head, felt she could do anything and find open armed acceptance, no matter how lame and "artistic" the sharks explained to be.
Half naked 15 y/o is not art, its soft porn no matter how you slice it. These so called artists pander to what they believe is our most banal level in hopes of SELLING something, not expressing anything but their greed and tolerance for shit dressed in some artisan wrap.I would never have left her alone with these bastards and if it got by me, I would sue them into oblivion. Fucking assholes, all of them.
Gossip Girls? STOP.
Clearly, this entire kerfluffle is fault of that pornographer Annie Leibovitz. We can only stop this if we band together as a city and hurl Miley Cyrus into a volcano. I know with gas prices being what they are, plane tickets to Hawaii won't be cheap, but trust me it's the only way. Also, we'll have an open bar and hot and cold sandwiches at the base of the volcanic cone.
I STILL don't see the big deal about this photo. I'm more concerned over the poor girls who grew up under the height of Britney Spear's popularity.
"I'm not the innocent..." ?
Jen Carlson you're in New York now, you're transplant roots are showing. WE DON'T CARE.
