I Predict Another Train Wreck

Full disclosure: I did not watch the VMAs last night. In fact, I didn't know that MTV even played music videos still, that "artists" still made music videos, and honestly I wouldn't have known who most of those "artists" were anyway. My newsfeed did blow up over Miley Cyrus and twerking. If you don't know what twerking is, just google it because it's ridiculous and stupid. So I did a search of People, E!, and Twitchy to see what was up. Um, are you for real? If you missed it, and somehow I'd be shocked because I'm fairly certain it'll be brought up on the radio and TV throughout the morning, Twitchy has a run down of the tweets that went out last night.

I just wrote not that long ago about how these so called celebrities need to be mindful, that even if they don't believe they are role models, they are. Many young girls pretty much grew up with Miley as Hannah Montana was all the rage not that long ago. These girls still take social cues from Miley and honestly, I think now would be a perfect time for parents to step in and say, "No, what Miley did on the VMAs was tasteless, vulgar, and completely inappropriate. The behavior Miley displays is not how normal, functional people act in public." I did type most normal, functioning but let's be honest, if you tell a teenager that it's ok for someone who is normal and functioning to act like that then the whole point is lost. Miley did not push any envelops, she didn't shock and awe, she just flat out acted like trash. Again, this whole, it's normal for young girls to think acting like strippers, porn stars, sluts, etc notion needs to end. Modesty needs to make a comeback, and Jessica Rey of Rey Swimwear recently had a talk about modesty and the evolution of swimwear. I was pretty skeptical when I first saw this video pop up on my newsfeed but I took the time to listen to what she had to say. At the end of the day, Miley was just shameful, it lacked class, it lacked depth, it lacked shock, it lacked inspiration, it did nothing to liberate women and young people. It's time to rebel against the female "artists" who think that teaching our younger generations it's ok to be viewed as an object, not as a human.

Miley Cyrus, I won't be surprised if you're the next child star turned train wreck -- hopefully you get your act together and prove me wrong, but I won't hold my breath in the mean time.
