Ok, not to be overly critical of this article, but I think that you've exposed a double standard. Sixteen year-old models have been photographed in sexualized poses, lingerie, and swimsuits for years. I'm not condoning that practice, but what makes Miley so news worthy? Aren't the other nameless teen models too young also? Is the criticism of her photographs related to her Disney Channel show and her influence on young children? If that is the case, then shouldn't we be more concerned about all the unrealistic, sexualized images of women in the media all together? It is just as dangerous, if not more so in some cases, than the image of Miley. she's just one in a parade of overly exposed teens in print. Big deal.
