Miley Cyrus – Annie Leibovitz controversy

I’m a fan of Annie, so a friend brought up the controversy of late, noting that I “should see the picture [myself], and bear in mind that the girl is only 15.”

Well, I just did, and the big deal is completely lost in me. It’s a beautiful photograph worthy of Annie’s other famous shots. It reminds me of cherubs from the Baroque period; no bedroom scene like some people claim.

A few years from now, when we’re free from this groupthink brouhaha, we’ll hopefully recognize the artwork for what it is: another ahead-of-its-time masterpiece. Just like how it happened with Annie’s other once-upon-a-time scandalous magazine covers.
