I found this which seems to be the end-all of the Curtis topless kerfuffle, and really? People cared? Don't get me wrong--I think she looks majorly hot, but why is that a big deal? There's no scandal there!
Then I read on...
"I've let my hair go gray. I wear only black and white. Every year I buy three or four black dresses that I just keep in rotation. I own one pair of blue jeans. I've given away all my jewelry, because I don't wear it," she says.
Huh. Wearing only black and white is an interesting choice. That I could never make. Same with the one pair of blue jeans. Does she just do laundry all the time?
Reminds me--reading magazines in doctor's offices yesterday morning they showed Ellen Barkin's taste in dresses--I forget the designer, but they showed her in four versions of exactly the same dress, just different colours. Nicely enough they were giving her props for knowing exactly what flattered her.
I am more creeped out by the incesty vibe than the topless young woman vibe
Ah, see, I'd read nothing about her father's direct involvement in the provocative (wow, it's hard for me not to type provocateuse there) photos. Just that the pictures were vetted on the spot.
Disney's having a hell of a time with its child stars. Course, this
scandal
is pretty mild, comparatively.
There's a robin building a nest right outside my window!
Goodnews is my router works ffine. Bad news is that my laptop may be toast. This post is courtesy of our PS3. If you think the iphone keys are tough to use, try a gaming controller.
Need a bluetooth keyboard stat.
Does she just do laundry all the time?
I read "I own one pair of blue jeans" as "not 20 different pairs", rather than as "I wear jeans every day (and they're always the same pair)".

OH! That reminds me that I saw my first dead baby bird of dead baby bird season this morning. Fallen from one of the two nests under my back porch awning. bummer.
er...not to gloom all over the happy robin story.
Cash, you can plug a USB keyboard into the PS3 -- cheaper and/or you might have a spare hanging around, if it's just for temporary use. "Typing" with a game controller is utter hell.
I think the "scandal" is ridiculous. I think it's partly media-manufactured, and partly mass hypocrisy - how many people let their 15 year olds, or their 12 year olds, wear makeup? How many people read fashion magazines, where many of the models are 15 and most of them got their start by 15 even if they are 19 now? I think the Cyrus family should have said, "We were working with a world-famous photographer and doing something creative; this is not meant to be a reflection of who Miley is." Miley is an actress (well, sort of, you know). Lots of 15 year old actresses have done much more risque stuff in films.
