Miley Cyrus’ (Hannah Montana) Vanity Fair Photoshoot, Art or Nudity? Cool or not cool?

Miley Cyrus, the actress who plays Hannah Montana-a really popular kids show, is just 15-years old. Who would think that at such a young age she was almost ready to bare it all for Vanity Fair?

Many were shocked when the news came out. Behold mom and dad! Child pornography at its best!

Or not? A lot of debates have erupted since the news broke out. Some say it’s art, others say it’s nudity.

Let us first tackle the bigger issue: Is it cool for your kids or not? The answer is a big NO. In reality, kids make idols out of television stars. They imitate who they see on TV. If the actor/actress wears a periwinkle-colored lip gloss, they’d have it too. If their idol learns how to play the piano, they should learn it too. But what if their idol explores or somewhat shows to explore her sexuality at such a young age? Is it right to follow their footsteps?

You decide.

Now, others say that its main purpose is to promote the magazine, the show, the kid… Come on, isn’t it obvious?

Going back to the topic. There is no clear-cut line between art and nudity. Only the viewer can decide for himself whether it is art or downright nudity. Values and morals, my dear ladies and gents…

Personally, I don’t think that it’s nudity. Not that I’m a pervert. From my point of view, it’s really beautiful and artistic to look at.

Migration (Part 1)…

Well, I’ll be missing my country. It’s a sad fact of life: Change is the only thing constant in this world.

I’ve been thinking. How will I be able to cope with my new life? Financial, social, emotional, studies, etc. A lot of problems may arise. A lot of things will change. Will I, as a person, as a naturally-born Filipino, change?

I am proud of what I am now. I am proud of everything and everyone around me. I am proud that I grew up in the land where majority of the people are either minimum wage earners or earn nothing at all.

The only thing I am not proud of is when I hear the muffled cries of the so-called “small people”. What was once a democratic country where even the song of an infant is heard by the people in the position, has turned into a country of thieves, gangsters, and leader-wannabes.

I hope my post is not becoming too political. I just want people to know what I think and feel…
