The MTV VMAs are coming up in a few weeks, which brings into perspective the whole cycle of Miley Cyrus rebellion. Last year’s show brought the raunchy twerk heard ’round the world and boosted Miley to her apex of notoriety. She got the controversy that she wanted even though she may have lost a Vogue cover because of it. What followed was a series of stunt queen acts designed to keep Miley in the news. She did several shoots with Terry Richardson and grinded on a wrecking ball. It worked out in the short run. Miley’s record sold well, and she made plenty of money on this tour.
I predict a long-term problem with Miley’s image. The problem is not that she has “matured” or gone too risqué. It’s that Miley threw so much stunt queening at us in such a short period of time. The internet has grown desensitized to her antics. No one cares anymore that she’s posting photos where she’s wearing see-thru nightgowns. That’s an issue for Miley, who needs attention all the time.
Against my better judgment (and because the news cycle is so slow), I’m going to pay some attention to Miley. She’s so thirsty for any reaction that she decided to pull down her pants and take a leak for Instagram. Seriously. This is a premeditated pee pose (#ppp). Miley handed her phone to someone and posed with her shorts around her ankles.
This photo was designed to shock and thrill the world, but I only feel sorry for Miley. She was on some #whitetrashrager (her tag, not mine) with a bunch of her buddies, including Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips (they grew tight when Miley toured Tulsa). Miley posted a series of these “camping” photos where she and assorted pals drank moonshine in a dilapidated, abandoned house. Miley made a huge deal about how the moonshine was 88 proof. She’s trying so hard to get your attention. Sad.
