Sometime in my past, I’ve heard that: “Incest is best!” ``` and ``` “The more kin, the deeper in!” Of course, I heard these while going to school in Kentucky. ---

Skald, we are longtime friends but I find your newfound delicacy (delicateness)?amusing. The TOTALLY postprandial photos with her and her father are completely sick. ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > Skald, we are longtime friends but I find your newfound delicacy (delicateness)?amusing. The TOTALLY postprandial photos with her and her father are completely sick. Um…given that “post-prandrial” means “occuring after a meal,” I am going to assume you were distracted by a flock of passing supermodels when you posted that, and meant “post-coital.” Either that or entirely different things happen at your breakfast table than at mine. I don’t mean to be overly delicate. Perhaps I’m just hypersensitive on the accusation of incestuous or pseudo-incestuous behavior. But, honestly, I don’t think either of the linked pictures is anything but artsty-fartsy, and **lissener** ’s joke annoyed me because of its crudeness. I promise to say something sexist and objectifying about…um…Kim Possible later, okay? Or maybe Raven. ---

But, honestly, I don’t think either of the linked pictures is anything but artsty-fartsy, and **lissener** ’s joke annoyed me because of its crudeness. Especially since all those pictures came from that Vanity Fair photo shoot a year or so ago that had everyone up in arms because you could see Miley’s bare back in one of the pictures… And she was sitting on a bed and her hair was mussed and her lipstick was smudged… OK, I can understand why people thought that picture was a tad creepy, but the ones of her posing with her father are harmless. Plus, I can’t imagine they had much say, if any, in how the pictures would be posed. ---

Plus, I can’t imagine they had much say, if any, in how the pictures would be posed. Why can’t you imagine that? Were there threats and firearms involved? I’d imagine they had enormous say in how the pictures would be posed - as in “No, I’m not going to do that.” ---

I’d imagine they had enormous say in how the pictures would be posed - as in “No, I’m not going to do that.” The photographer was Annie “The only FAMOUS photographer in the world” Leibovitz. And after the big blowup over the bed picture, Miley, her father and everyone else connected to the photo shoot came out and said they all did what Leibovitz said to the letter. ---
