Music Celebrities and How They Get Popular

So for a while now I've been thinking about the differences in artists/entertainers and how they gain their popularity.  Today it entered my mind again from coming across the picture of Miley Cyrus' new album cover.  How she, or maybe her producer, decided to change her image.  Now I'm not really a fan of her, but I had been hoping that she'd send out a better example for younger girls then her fellow Disney pop princesses have done in the past.  Lindsay Lohan really let me down, I really liked her back in her Parent Trap days.

So what is the deal with changing an image from nice cute, girl next door to club hopper?  Does that really sell CDs?   Maybe for some girls, but maybe because these girls are fed that this is what is cool.  Its cool to where barely-there clothes and disturb the peace by parading at public functions, such as baseball games, or parading the cover of a tabloid.  Because having all your bad girl ways being posted and read everywhere and anywhere is so cool.

Meanwhile, the singers/entertainers I think are cool got there because they love what they do and they don't care how many people are watching their every move.  People who still live normal lives behind there extraordinary ones.  How do I think people like Celine, Josh, Faith, and others got where they are?  Because they are genuine,  they might not have the same values that I do, but they don't go around and flaunt them.  They're real people and don't try to be someone they're not.  At least as far as I can tell.

I know I know, just because of a picture, doesn't mean someone's going down hill.  But its certainly a warning sign.  I just hope Miley keeps to home grown values, even if she is showing off her midriff.   What are your thoughts, am I overreacting, does this even make sense?  Go ahead and comment if you want.  Or not.  Whatever.

Now The Parties Over, But Don't Abandon Ship Just Yet

I don't know how many have been following my 365 photo challenge, but it is finito!  So does that mean the end of my blog? Nah.  I'll still be around, here are a few things you might be seeing in the near future. Instead of a daily photo, I hope to bring you the best photos of the week, month.  Anyway you look at it, there will be photos. Do you ever wonder what all those functions are for on your camera?  I've come across many people who don't know how to use their cameras beyond AUTO.  Thus I will be debuting "Stepping out of the Little Green Box".  Each post will focus on one feature, so you can learn without getting data overload.  I'll keep it interesting and short, because let's face it. In this day and age, we want out information short and sweet. Do you have any suggestions, questions?  Put a comment down below and I'll answer you.

It's coming, just two day left . . .

The world of NANOWRIMO is about to unfold. It will be my second try, and hopefully I'll do better then I did in 2007. Here is my potential story I'm going to work on. Summary: A friend with a passion for science has developed an unheard of feat, a time machine. That's right, H. G. Wells for reals. Nadie volunteers for the job of a lifetime. The first person to travel through time. Numbered among other great explorers such as Lewis and Clark. With Regency Era England as her destination, will Nadie keep suspicion from the curious eyes? And . . . when a realization comes, will she be able to make the right choice?

Summer fly was buzzin' . . .

At long last, Oregon has decided it's time for summer. Or it at least thinks it should be warmer. Oregon has strange weather. Yesterday I went on a hike at a local trail and it was nice. There was a lot of bright flowers, and a beautiful waterfall. I'll post some pictures soon, along with some others I've taken recently. My photography class is officially over, and so I have nothing I can tell people so they don't think I'm some lazy bum. (Which is true, but people don't need to know that.) So that's all, I just thought I should make a post, I haven't done it in a while.
