Young Skanks

A couple of weeks ago, a 13-year old cousin of mine friended me on MySpace. So I accepted, if only out of curiosity to see what little, let's call her Belle, is up to. It seems that little Belle is up to skanking, if I can be so frank. On her page was an album titled "sorry daddy this is my life" in which Belle and three of her equally skanky friends posed for obscene webcam photos. I showed one of the pictures to Matt, who insisted that I close out the window for fear that he'd be arrested for child pornography.

It was horrifying.

I mean, I changed her diapers! I babysat her! She's even younger than Chloe! So now I feel like some old prudish woman who just can't believe "kids these days." And I remember what it's like to be 13--the puberty, the bad decision making, the bitchy friends--and in some ways I feel bad for these kids. I'm thankful that I didn't have a medium to broadcast my crazy to the entire world during those years.

Which brings me to poor little Noah Cyrus, Miley's kid sister.

Although I fancy myself socially liberal, I couldn't help but to be horrified today when I read that Miley Cyrus's 9-year old sister is designing her own line of lingerie. No joke.

Here she is posing with some of her friends and a stripper pole, and here she is with her friend Grace, who will be designing the line with her.

Did you just vomit all over your computer? If not, check these out.

ARE YOU F'ING KIDDING ME? Prude or no prude, I'm standing strong in my beliefs here: nine year-old girls should not be wearing lingerie (ahem, sex clothes), nor should they be designing lingerie. Call me old-fashioned.

Oh, and Miley's kid sister has got to be the creepiest looking thing since Swan in HBO's America Undercover documentary, Living Dolls.
