From some other site, via Jezebel:
"Noah Lindsey Cyrus & Emily Grace Reaves, with Emily's dog Bunny, pose for the cameras at Brittany Curran's Retro 50's Poolside Bash on Saturday, May 30 in Burbank sporting Juicy Couture vintage bathing suits. The two friends filmed an episode of their Noei and Ems Show at the party. So pretty!"
They are pretty. (And yes, that Cyrus.) But okay, no, seriously? For the love of JonBenet Ramsey, would someone please make Girl Power trendy again? When will Sarah McLachlan let the dogs fend for themselves and worry about the children instead? Do we need to put Ani DiFranco in a Lady Gaga costume? I've never been one for feminism as a trend or branding tool but if it can arrest this particular fall — and by "fall" I mean "WHY ARE THOSE NINE-YEAR-OLD GIRLS POSING IN SWIMSUITS ON A RED CARPET" — let's crank out some bumper stickers and dreadlock some hair! I went to the doctor…I went to the mountains…I looked to the children…I drank from the — sing it if you know it! Wait, does anyone still know it?
Argh. I've got my own theories, but you tell me, PopWatchers: How did we get here…and how can we get back? The No Doubt reunion (and the return of Stefani's tough-chick tank tops) seems like a good start. The revival of Lilith Fair has potential. Honestly, I'd even accept some Spice Girls up in here. Because LADIES. SELF RESPECT. EVEN NINE YEAR OLDS NEED SELF RESPECT.
What do you think? Is the picture above a sign of the apocalypse…or THE apocalypse?
Yes, please dress children like children. Unless these girls are on their way to a dance recital this is just really ridiculous.
One step away from a semen stained death in a basement…
I drank from the fountain.
There’s more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line.
The less I seek my source for some definitive
the closer I am to fine.

Ew. Saw this yesterday, and hoped it was a very bad dream. This is disgusting, it makes me afraid to have daughters someday. The Cyrus’s should be ashamed, but we all know that they’re not.
I need to start reading Jezebel. As someone with a young niece (1 year this month!) I’m very disturbed. However, I made a commitment to myself when she was born to make sure she had good, female role models in life…if it kills me.
The bad news? These girls actually exist-everywhere. The good news? For every one of them, there are 10 great girls who care about running fast and being smart (especially smarter than the boys). I’m afraid there’s little hope for girls like this until they get to college (if they get the chance) because their moms think they’re just darling. Seriously, the crazed moms create this, and the frightened, clueless girls just go along until they hit junior high/high school and everyone wants to be like them. Sigh.

Ugh. Honey, I shrunk Paris and Nicole…

Dear Billy Ray: Look at this photo of the little Cyrus and tell me again that you didn’t approve of those Vanity Fair photos…

Noah Cyrus looks very skinny. I hope she’s not starving herself.
Okay, I am raising a girl this age and let me tell you, it is tough. Every store that is affordable sells teeny tiny everything and basically women’s clothing, just downsized. You just have to be diligent and say no a lot because a lot of moms don’t see the problem. The dads tend to, but are overrided by mom. I rent a lot of girl power movies, she plays a lot of sports and we try to sway her to role models that don’t show their a%# every chance they get. She still wants the string bikini that they sell (in a size 8!!!) at Target and gets angry when she can’t wear makeup to elementary school (yes, some of them do), but like I said, I say no a lot.
Holy crapola. My daughter is not yet three, and I realized last summer that I have to buy her shorts in the boys section (unless I get her capris) because, I’m sorry, but short-shorts are not appropriate for any age. They barely covered her butt!!! And this was a size 2, people! Size 2 toddler!!!
I do my best to avoid the baby-hoochie crap, but when I do encounter it, I know that I can at least try to make it a learning experience for my daughter.
And Whitney, there are quite a few of us out there who still love Indigo Girls.
