Dear mamas,
Let me start this post by providing you a link to Miley Cyrus’ performance at the VMAs this week, you know, just in case you have been living under that proverbial rock and missed it:

I’m not a fan of Miley, I even made fun of McD when he was hooked on her song ‘The Climb.’ I’ve just always thought of her as Hannah Montanna I guess. That was until I saw her revamped image and heard her new song. Its not my taste but its pretty catchy, and hell, while we are admitting a few home truths I’m gonna be honest and let you know that YES I gave ‘twerking’ a go! I sure as hell wasn’t as good as Miley, too much junk in the trunk!
I have to say though, I am appalled at the reaction to her on stage performance. This little clip has gone viral. People seem so offended by a child star becoming an adult, changing her appearance, having some fun and sexing things up a little. I have read articles where people have said they need to bleach their eyes after seeing the performance, articles where people are complaining about how it was inappropriate for their children to watch this kind of thing. People are calling her a slut and trash but honestly how is this any worse than anything else out there? For instance Rihanna’s Rude Boy video, I love this song and happen to think its very good to run to but its not the ‘cleanest’ of songs:

Or Christina Aguilara’s Dirty:

Maybe all of these mama’s that are writing these posts about how disgusting Miley is and how horrified they are that their children got to see this should be concentrating on other things, like getting laid so they can chill the hell out. And perhaps in future they will realise that the VMAs are not appropriate for young children, stick to Nick Jr!
Miley, keep twerking. If I had a body as fabulous as yours I’d be dancing around in a latex bikini and getting fresh with a foam finger.
Faithfully,
LauraC
