So last week I received my issue of ELLE magazine and immediately was shocked at the cover of 16-year-old Miley Cyrus.

Believe it or not, I hadn’t seen the photo until I actually had the issue in my hands.

Miley is seen bending backwards, face half shadowed, with only her budding boobs to her crotch in the spotlight. Now, I am certainly no prude, folks, but this cover just rubs me the wrong way. The Annie Liebowitz photos have nothing on this in my opinion.

The cover flat out says, “Miley! On dad, boyfriends, and why she’s not a kid anymore.”

Let me tell you something ELLE, she IS still a kid, and I think this photo is in seriously bad taste. Just because she has boobs now doesn’t mean she is a full-fledged adult.

I think ELLE exploited Miley, but isn’t that what the fashion industry does to kids? C’mon daddy, wake up and fight for your kid. She’ll have enough time to exploit herself after she is 18, but for now, this is on your watch, moron.
