An open letter to Miley Cyrus

Dear Miley Cyrus,

I HATE to admit it, but I broke down and bought your song Party in the USA on itunes. I am embarrassed, but its a damn good song to play when I'm the elliptical.

But that's where it ends. You are 16 yrs old and are totally inappropriate. You're "moving your hips like yeah" and you are too young to even be thinking about "yeah." I'm pretty sure Christmas just came early for some pedophiles. UGHHH. Thankfully I am a woman in my mid 20's and am quite confident you cant be a bad influence on me. I have a child. You figure it out. However, I am concerned for your legion of 9-15 yr old fans. If I had a daughter, you can damn well be sure she wouldnt be allowed to listen to your music or watch your videos. You are 16. Act like it.

Additionally, you "pulled up to the club in a taxi cab" and didnt "get the memo" that everyone there would be wearing stillettos?! Um, last I checked you are 16 and the drinking age is 21. Most clubs are 18 to party, 21 to drink. You fall into neither catagory. What on God's green earth are you doing going to a club?

Finally, I hope your parents find some glimmer of reality and figure out they are robbing you of a wholesome childhood. Girl, you only get those years once and the way you have been objectified leaves me concerned for your self esteem. What happens when you are the ripe old age of 23 and there is some younger tartlett teen star who has more sex appeal, as you are clearly washed up by this point. You know, gravity has a funny way of working too. Your boobs wont be so perky for ever. Just sayin... Your brain and your heart and your spirit are your true worth. Work on them.

So in conclusion, thank you for the annoyingly infectious song that helps me work off those baby pounds, but I wish you'd find whats left of your innocence and childhood and hold on tight. Your parents should be ashamed.

Sincerely,
A concerned mom in Philly.
