Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman: the Two Sides of Miley Cyrus
I was eight years old when Miley Cyrus made her debut on Disney Channel's Hannah Montana and beginning my senior year of high school when she delivered the VMAs performance that single-handedly butchered the teddy-bear industry. Since then, a flurry of think pieces and open letters have declared Miley to be either the blind victim of puppeteering managers or a maniacal genius of publicity. All seem to agree that her recent reincarnation is just ex-child-star protocol, à la Britney Spears or Justin Bieber, and/or the sign of a mental breakdown. The concern at the heart of it all was for young women my age who grew up with Miley and probably would be brainwashed into a massive army of hypersexual copycats.

They offer consensus: yes. Just to be sure she struts the room wall-to-wall, eyes darting.
Cyrus – now 30 (how is she only 30?), with several lifetimes of glory, nonsense, trauma and good times under her belt – is in showgirl mode. For the moment, at least. My word, she’s a gas. “What is with this art?” she asks hammily between poses, offended by some neutral swirls in a picture frame. Then she catches sight of herself on the iPhone screen of Stephen Galloway, acclaimed choreographer and her friend. “It’s giving Pam Tillis,” she decrees, patting the towering fluffy black helmet to the delight of her troop, before launching into a funny, gossipy tale about said Pam, the bouffanted country singer, who she met recently and
