So, sweet little Christian good-girl Miley Cyrus appears in Vanity Fair as a luscious Lolita -- and the dear thing is shocked. She was, she claims, hoodwinked by the evil Annie Leibovitz into appearing semi-nude after her parents left the set (never mind that her publicist, her granny and her manager were still there). What [barnyard epithet]. The Cyruses are trying to manage their daughter's lucrative transition from Shirley Temple to sexpot. It worked out so well for Britney Spears, I can't imagine why they wouldn't.
If Brother Theodore hadn't died in 2001, he would be the perfect love match for Miley, as he revealed in this 1980s interview with David Letterman, in which he discusses his Lolita complex.
Personally, I'm with Brother Theodore in this clip: Miley Cyrus is nussink compared to the psycho-slut Liselotte Bindl!

Since my reluctant attempt to lasso back into orbit my favorite satellite sister - sig sig Sputnik - felt for all the world like trying to broad-jump while in a full suit of armor, I was pleased after a good knight's leap to see her returned to her original upright position after a brief bit of turbulence more Airplane!, as it turns out, than Alive.
As for the "warm sedative" proffered her by our host and thence to me after first refusal, I, too, must pass, as a practitioner of safe sips whose lips remain sealed no matter how consecrated for my protection the host before me appears.
I'm glad to see someone pointing out the "whole cloth" aspect to this stuff. I think those refusing to see your point are possibly doing so out of a desire to "stand up for women". We have thoroughly perverted what it means to come to the defense of women in this country, so that some men feel they must defend a woman's right to have tons of sex and lots of abortions. I think they are trying, underneath, to be gallant.
But I think these men could stand to have some women explain some things to them. As a fourteen year old, would I have liked to have lived within a heretical sect in which I was expected to become one of the wives of a much older man and begin to raise a family? No. As an adolescent girl, would I have liked to have lived within a cultural environment in which I was expected to perform oral sex on large numbers of male peers in order to avoid ostracism? No. Critics are right that there is a power factor, that the girls in the polygamist sect probably felt they had little choice but to conform, or never even considered it a possibility (even though they could technically have contacted law enforcement at any time). But they underestimate the power factor in peer relationships, particularly today. Many kids are entirely oriented towards their peers -- the peer group opinion is as important to them as a mom's opinion is to a four year old. Picture a four year old being kicked out of the family by her mother, imagine the terror of a toddler being set outside the door and told she can't ever come back. Many teens feel this terror when faced with the prospect of being kicked out of the peer group. They simply can't imagine a life outside the clique, any more than those girls in Texas could imagine sneaking away from the compound to the outside world. In theory, the girls in the outside world have total freedom to walk away from the sexual encounters, but in reality they have nowhere to go if they do.
The girls in Texas were and are in a horrible situation, no one is saying they aren't. I think what some of us believe, though, is that there are girls all over this country, and on the cover of Vanity Fair, who are also in horrific traps that no one acknowledges and no one helps them out of.
"That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie." Miley-face
Compare that to the implacability of another Olympian lens-snapper, from across the pond, as appeased by Eric Idle's merciless David Frost parody, Timmy Williams:
"Oh, super! Only Snowdon's been re-touching my profile and we can't upset the lovely Snowdon, can we?"

Nothing fosters bonding like a mutual refusal to be sedated, Scott. ; )
Sig, don't get me wrong (as a great Pretender would sing, and devil take the Hyndemost) - I DO "wanna be sedated": just not by those bratty punks The RodMoans...
