This is Miley Cyrus’s sister. She is 9. And I’m trying to breathe.

Not they are not Shauna Sands' daughters. I'm trying to work this story out and no matter how deep I dig and how many links I click, I just can't get past how deeply uncomfortable it makes me. Here we have Miley Cyrus's sister Noah and her BFF Emily Grace Reaves. They are 9 and they appeared on the red carpet last week at some 19 year old starlet's 'retro pool party'. No, I don't know why they were at a 19 year old's birthday party posing on a red carpet like…..well, in a way that is kind of disturbing. The caption on this photo and others (after the jump) reads:
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!

Did you catch the bit where THEY FILMED AN EPISODE OF THEIR REALITY SHOW at the party? Yeah, uh-huh. They have their own show which they broadcast on THEIR OWN YOUTUBE CHANNEL. Why does a nine year old need a reality show? Or a youtube channel? Why?

These shots appeared on a site called Ocean Up and I can't understand what that is either. Oh my head is hurting about now and my fingers are twitching because I want to grab SOME APPROPRIATE CLOTHES AND GET ON A PLANE TO PLANET NUTCASE where the families of these two little girls obviously live. Billy Ray Cyrus? I know you have questionable taste in haircuts and music but are you SERIOUSLY allowing your youngest daughter to do this stuff?

Here are the rest of the pictures and after that, an episode of their 'show' and I'm off to have a large glass of outrage and a long nap.

WOW I REALLY DONT LIKE MILEY CYRUSS SISTER

I first saw these photos in the Miley cyrus’s little sister is selling fishnets post and consequently didn’t know they were going to a pool party. So the shock level decreased dramatically. So what, it’s a pool party, you wear swimmers, no biggie! and they look so cute!!

BUT then the shock level increased again after the following realisation. and I think a lot of the people who think these pictures are harlmess have forgotten this:

These aren’t cute happy snaps taken by mum and dad at uncle Ben’s pool to put in the family album. These are YOUNG girls in SWIMMERS on a RED CARPET, POSING in front of maybe 20 or more PAPARAZZI.

totally agree with you Mia!

I canot believe this. Thes 2 are 9 YEARS OLD. 9 YEARS OLD. My gosh, their going to have time to wear things like that when they are older and and its acceptable than but thats just awful, and what in the world is wrong with the Cyruses to let those children go out in public like that?????

Cool, more brats to laugh at when they have to go into rehab at 13 for “stress”.

Parents, encourage your kids to do this, then send your photos and videos to Pedophiles….i am sure nothing bad will happen.

How dumb do we have to get.

Jessuss!

Oh come on! lets get a grip shall we. Its a POOL PARTY and they are realy cute little swimmers! I’d put my daugher in them! the’re realy cute! Those little girls look so sweet in them.

The Red Bull is highly inapproprate and I’m not sure about them being at a 19yo b’day party.

My daughter is always covered up and wears leggins with skirts (little girls never keep their knees together!)I dont like inapproprate dress on a child but those swimmers are too cute.

the little one says:

Mm yes it is a pool party. but not a pool party at aunty Jane’s house in the suburbs, but a 19 YEAR OLD’S pool party with a RED CARPET and PARADING AROUND IN YOUR SWIMMERS in fornt of PAPARAZZI.
I agree the swimmers look cute, but its the context and situation that is important here. Would be happy to let your daugher wear these swimmers, walk down a red carpet and have her picture taken by 20 or so photographers and those photos put in magazines and on the internet?

I have no problem with kids dressing up in their bedrooms. But letting them parade down the street in swimsuits at age 9 and pose provocatively is foul. It also opens them up to cruel comments on their bodies, as you can see on the OceanUp site.

Couldn’t they have worn cute little sundresses and changed into their swimmers INSIDE?

Don’t get me started on the hair dye, make up and Red Bull.

The girls are just dutifully absorbing the female role models they’ve been exposed to. They should be congratulated for their ability to comprehend what society wants from them. I wouldn’t be surprised if ballet classes were superceded by pole dancing lessons.

To the person who asked what a little girl needed a handbag for, they have as much need for a handbag as a woman does…not much! But it looks pretty huh.

B says:

June 8, 2009 at 11:31 pm

It’s just two little girls playing dress ups and having fun. I think their swimsuits are quite demure. I am woman and I consider myself a feminist. I don’t understand the outrage expressed by other posters. To me it seems awfully judgemental.

In response to P, I think she’s attempting a peace sign, but she has it backwards… let’s hope, anyway.

Luey says:

Late once again, but as I’ve been assured that many people do read these last few posts in a thread…

Clearly, every American acts like this and allows their 9 year olds to parade around like miniature prostitutes. It’s the American way! And it certainly merits a tourism boycott, as suggested by fender (who normally has much more well-reasoned comments). Why, we’re only going to use your hard-earned money to buy our pre-teens hair extensions and fake breasts!

Please, can we limit the discussion to the disturbing nature of these little girls’ apparent lives (as most posters are doing), and avoid the America-bashing?

having a daughter who is 3 and who has already said she has a big belly, this to me is so disturbing. Where is the innocence of being a child gone? I know I will do my best to have my daughter be a child, which these girls are.

Victoria says:

June 6, 2009 at 4:27 pm

This makes me not want my 2yr old daughter to grow up.

P says:

June 6, 2009 at 4:00 pm

Hey! Look at the red-carpet picture again! The one on the right with the little white dog is giving the camera a two-finger “up yours” hand gesture! Am I crazy? Or is that really happening? WTF? Why so rude?

Rowe says:

June 6, 2009 at 2:46 pm

I have to retract my earlier rant here (comments page 6) – Tiger is a celebrity. I looked up the definition and celebrity means famous. So, there I go. Doh!

IrishLaura says:

June 6, 2009 at 2:31 pm

Wow, that ‘episode’ was EXCRUCIATINGly boring! I only kept going cos I was hoping for an explanation of that hand symbol the shorter girl keeps doing with her two fingers in all the photos… But I didn’t find out. How obnoxious and self-indulgent to think that your kids are interesting enough to warrant your own reality show which you broadcast urself on ur own youtube account. *rolls eyes*

June 6, 2009 at 11:52 am

sorry to blabber–might i point out that miley’s little sister is just like her: not that talented, brilliant, nor amazing?

June 6, 2009 at 11:49 am

I bet poor Emily Grace has been dubbed “the fat one” by the media, also. her self-image is going to be so distorted…

June 6, 2009 at 11:46 am

they’re going to be on crack by the time they’re thirteen years old. this has made me a little unhappy.

Fallon says:

June 6, 2009 at 4:53 am

This is a shame. Ever notice how all these new celebrities younger sibling keep getting more outragous then the star. Look at Jaime Lynn and Ashlee Sipmson….nedd I say more?

Tori says:

June 5, 2009 at 11:10 pm

I think this has to be one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen and I didn’t even watch the video. The clothing, the hair, the poses, are all wrong, wrong, wrong…. and the red bull swigging shot is just appalling – these CHILDREN are 9 years old! The parents of these girls (and any adults involved in the production of these ‘characters’) should be absolutely ashamed. What is the world coming to???

pawpaw says:

June 5, 2009 at 9:34 pm

Miley’s sister obviously had the red bull before ‘filming’ the first clip from the birthday party! Mega hyper!

gg says:

June 5, 2009 at 8:56 pm

kzmet, i think it’s a bit harsh not letting your daughter watch Disney. Sure, Disney stars might not always make the right choices, but the channel as a whole has amazing shows on it and characters that children (and teenagers) can look up to. All teenagers make mistakes, it’s just these stars have theirs broadcast for the entire world to see.
Sorry, that was kind of off topic, but the families+mistakes of the stars on a channel shouldn’t entirely influence whether you let your child watch it. Are you going to let them watch shows with sex/drugs/violence instead? That’s such a better option…

mbcontessa says:

June 5, 2009 at 8:48 pm

Please explain to me why this is not child abuse?

Rosie says:

June 5, 2009 at 7:54 pm

I am not at a point where I have processed the rest of this – still haven’t seen the clip, not going to.

Kids playing dressups I get. Wanting to emulate older sibs, ditto. Parents selling their children to the masses while they do the above, not so much. If I did that wih my kids, I’d have DoCS on my doorstep in a heartbeat, I’d be divorced, and my mother would be browbeating me for the rest of my life.

Sad what money and poor self esteem can bring people to do to their children.

Kym says:

Does she think it means “peace”????

Simone P says:

June 5, 2009 at 7:30 pm

Has anyone noticed the friend is flipping the 2 finger salute?

Lee says:

June 5, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Chk chk boom….says it all bogan or siblings of a famous singer – we all want our 15 minutes whether it be that or grow to 15 years or be over by the time we are 15 in the case of these two. So wrong! Kids grow up way too fast. Sad!

Redhossy says:

June 5, 2009 at 6:18 pm

THIS WILL NOT BE HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE!

Jaz says:

June 5, 2009 at 4:36 pm

Yikes!

Well, what else can I add into this conversation that hasnt already been said?

She needs Dora.

Lauren says:

Billy Ray loves the limelight, and seeing as he is a has been, he chucks his kids in their to get it for him.

June 5, 2009 at 3:22 pm

Gasping alike with you on this one! These poor darlings are surrounded by intellectually challenged adults. There is a huge difference between the smartly famous, talented people who shun the limelight and the way less smart, will-do-anything-to-get-fame ‘celebrities’. Did you know that golfer Tiger Woods is classified as a ‘celebrity’ – well, he is according to your average ‘entertainment reporter’. And to think, all this time I thought Tiger was a well-mannered, charming, world class golfer famous because of his talent for playing golf and handsome sponsorships by well-known brands. Doh!

sparselykate says:

June 5, 2009 at 3:11 pm

Horrid. Stupid, vapid people – where does it say that this is OK parenting?!!?

Cally says:

June 5, 2009 at 3:05 pm

The drinking of the Red Bull is truly disturbing!! I can’t bring myself to watch the clip…

courtney says:

June 5, 2009 at 2:45 pm

sad.
very sad.
very very sad!!!!!
These girls are 9????????? And i thought 13, 14, 15, even 16 was much too young for this industry, they’re 9?!
Oh i just can’t get over it.

fender4eva says:

June 5, 2009 at 2:34 pm

As per my Shauna Sand comment, only in America . The country which introduced crassness, and continues to promote it. I may boycott the place, from now on, and take my holidays in Surfers, which is class personified, in comparison……

lozabelle says:

June 5, 2009 at 2:29 pm

its all well and good to say its just little girls dressing up and we did the same when we were that age.

but, call me crazy, when i was nine, i wasn’t dying my hair or wearing black liquid eyeliner.

playing with makeup is one thing, but perfectly done liquid liner is a completely different thing. i mean, most adult women struggle to master the liquid liner, let alone a nine year old.
