Think before you quote...

I heard a funny story yesterday on the radio. I hope it doesn't offend anyone who has pre-teenage girls. Apparently, Miley Cyrus is in a bit of a celebrity feud with another Disney actress named Selena. Miley was making fun of Selena and it got out of hand. In her attempt to apoligize, she goes on the record as quoting, "It's like Elvis says, 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.'" She also attributes another famous quote, 'I have a dream' to Elvis. So, I have a few quotes of my own for Billy Ray and his ditzy daughter. "Get a life". One filled with education, not just blonde wigs and tight jeans. I don't care how good you look on stage or sound on the radio. If you are going to be a role model for the next generation of young women, think about what you say before you say it. I love Elvis as much as the next person, maybe even more than some, but I also know who said "I have a dream". So do my daughters, and so does my son. If you're going to be America's sweetheart, learn a little more about your country, darlin'.

***You'll notice I didn't post a photo of the divine Ms. Montana. If you don't know what she looks like, check out the May issue of Vanity Fair. You don't even want me to get started on that one!

Oh my word. I didn't hear this interview. I would have gone crazy too. Sadly, I have a 6 yr old daughter who loves anything she sings. I do my best to keep the $&%*# show off of our tv though. But it's hard when her picture is on EVERYTHING in the store! Underwear, cereal, towels, shirts, toys, books, magazines, granola bars, backpacks, lunchboxes, folders aiiiieeeeee!!!!

OH, and I've stood firm and strong about not purchasing any of the above! Yay me!
