Two words.
Miley Cyrus.
I've tried to reserve judgement on the former
Disney star who still reminds me of Hannah Montanna,
but upon seeing photos from her 'Bangerz'
World Tour, I feel like I have to say something.
I know Miley will never read this but still...
First things first, I like her new music, she's
found her style and it works well for her, and I'm glad
that in terms of her music she's found her calling.
That's not a problem at all.
What I don't understand is why she feels the
need to dress the way she does.
Miley is such a beautiful girl, and she really,
really, really doesn't need to dress the way she is
doing at the moment. She calls it 'art' but to me
it's a lack of self respect and some serious self
esteem problems.
A girl will only dress like that when she needs
that attention fix. That approval from the opposite sex.
Or in Miley's case, publicity. Getting your assets out on
display is a sure fire way to get the attention
you crave and thus that self esteem boost fast.
You're getting that attention but not because the
person likes who you are inside, or because they
think you're beautiful or worth something, it's because
your literally offering them the petty things they
secretly desire on a plate, knife, fork and ketchup too.
When you dress like that, people see a lack of self
respect and thus treat you with a lack of respect.
They treat you like an object and they sure as hell won't
take you seriously.
I don't know who Miley dresses like that for,
but if it's for herself she deserves to think more highly
of herself than that. Miley, you are worth
so much more than that, you don't need to flaunt your
body off to such an extent and wear all
those provocative clothes.
What are you trying to prove? What do you need
to prove?
I of course don't know Miley, and I understand
she has her reasons for why she does what she does,
but as one girl speaking to another girl,
I just wish she knew that she's worth so much more than
that. She doesn't need to be all marijuana smoking, chain
wearing, minimal clothes wearing, sexual gesturing etc.
for people to like her music or respect her as an artist.
She's degrading herself when really she needs to honor
herself. So please, dear Miley, go put on a stunning gown,
make your beautiful eyes pop, walk and hold yourself
with grace and poise, be sexy if you want but do it with
a subtle allure, put your tongue away and smile,
treat yourself with the respect, dignity and class you
deserve.
You owe it to yourself .
