 I stand behind Annie.  I can't believe I'm about to say this but.....Disney can go jump off a cliff....it's a beautiful picture (even if it is of a tween idol) and it's art...period.

Speaking of art, if you haven't seen Across the Universe go rent it now. It was fracking amazing. I wish there was a way (there probably is and I'm just too dumb to

Across the Universe is one of my favorite movies and I listen to the soundtrack constantly.

The world needs more musicals. Let's start a petition. :)

I know a composer, and a couple of poets. What musical do we want?

Hmmmm. Something to do with office supplies maybe? I mean, has the paper clip's story really been told? Who speaks for the sticky note?! It's past time that this story is expressed in song and dance....oh wait a minute, they did that on the commercial with the rubber band man dude didn't they. Hmmmmm. I'll marinate on this and let you know. :)

eh. Annie was facing the spectre of diminishing importances as all the icons she was associated starting filing for social security.

There should be a sense of responsibility to not dress up 15 year old minor girls in a pose that screams 'I just just fucked beyond comprehension and i liked it'. That pose, that look, has been used to communicate freshly-laid and wanting more(awakening from the post-sex coma) for a long time, and it was a media stunt on the photog's part and the desire for a 15-year old girl to scream that she wasn't just a posable disney eunuch doll.

Parenting failure. Photog greed. And yes, a damn good shot.

Oh. THAT Annie. Annie L. Not L'il Orphan Annie. I was really confused for a few minutes there.

Can you just imagine the scandal that would be?!

In the safety of the Warbucks estate, Annie slowly forgot her roots, and developed a sense of entitlement. When the Cold War ended, Daddy hit the bottle, hard, sometimes disappearing for days at a time. When he came home, he'd kick Sandy (who ran away for good; dogs don't forget how to survive on the street). Annie, desperate for attention, didn't think to look up the word "erotic" before agreeing to meet the photographer.
