Eh, doesn’t seem any different than Princes’ ass-less chaps or Madonna’s canonical bra. Pop-musicians have been doing the over-the-top sexual fashion thing for a long time. It’s not supposed to be “sexy” in the usual sense.
I’ll take your word for it. Based on her work over the last couple years, I just assumed that spending too long on the Disney Channel and/or trying to overcome the “child actress/grownup performer” barrier had driven her insane.
I detested all things Miley Cyrus until I saw her don wig and glasses, put on a dodgy Australian accent, and interview people on the street about their opinions of Miley Cyrus. She was really very funny.
I’ve seen that shape and pattern before with “cupping,” an alternative therapy popular in China. The welts are usually purple not brown and it’s normally on a person’s back, though. And when I say “alternative therapy,” I mean the kind that quacks like a duck.
Hey, it worked for Madonna.
Madonna got to be Eva Peron. Maybe Miley could snag Eva Braun?
Er, did any of you who are offering reasons for bruises actually look at the links to photos of her tattoos?
Cuz if those are bruises, where are her tattoos?
It’s tattoos.
All the way up to the sixty-four thousandth time they tried to show Shanghai Surprise on the pay channels.
Yep. In one of the zoomed stills linked you can even tell that the larger one is a face, once you compare to the detailed pic of the tattoos. Just that it’s all blurry and badly resolved, probably out of a combination of motion, lighting, zoom resolution and web resolution.
(And I actually find Miley a perfectly fine entertainer in the eccentric vein, across the 30+ year generational gulf. Of course of her work I greatly prefer the Backyard Sessions, where she actually gets to sing. Her individual lifestyle is NOMB and anyway pop/rock stars have been affecting Outrageous Wild (Wo)Man personae forever.)
I agree, it must be the tattoos. Maybe for some reason she started to cover them with makeup and it’s showing through?
I dunno. Anyway, thanks, Bayard! I’ll rest easier tonight.
Then there’s her “singing” voice… :eek:
I went and found that, and yeah, it’s pretty funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juSrk9VUkUU
I hadn’t heard of these until I read your post, but I listened to about half a dozen of the Backyard songs on YouTube and was very impressed.
There really should be an award for you, based on your dedication to the cause of fighting ignorance by the peculiar method of never having to be exposed to anything that might not fit your existing worldview.
It’s tattoos for sure.
I can see Madonna and Cyrus wearing clothes in a calculated sexual way (which makes them curiously un-sexual to me if that makes sense) whereas I can easily imaging Prince going down to the shops in assless chaps or a leopard skin onesie. It seems to be far more an intrinsic part of him.
I think you mean conical. Although your usage is certainly accurate. 
I think she’s awesome and beautiful regardless of her hair length. And I’m pretty sure she had make up on her arms that looks to be wearing off at that point. I’m not familiar with what it looks like when you have a tattoo removed though, so maybe it’s that. It looks nothing at all like bruising in the photos.
I so hate tattoos on girls, it seems every female on the planet has them nowadays.:mad:
I watched it and agree!
