Miley Cyrus: Money, Twerking, Tongue and The Hairdo: What Is an Artist?





She has hit the headlines almost every day since her raunchy performance at the MTV Video Music Awards back in August. 
And it seems there is no such thing as bad press for Miley Cyrus as the controversial pop star has gone straight in at number one on both the singles and album charts in the UK.
The 20-year-old is the first artist this year to do the Official Charts number one double - topping the singles chart with Wrecking Ball, and the albums chart with her new album Bangerz.

It comes not long after twerking - the dance move she showed off with the help of singer Robin Thicke during their much-talked-about act - was among a slew of new terms included in an update of the Oxford dictionary.

What is the meaning of the word 'Twerking'?
http://oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/twerk

'dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance'

Topping the singles chart and the album's chart not long after 'twerking'?

How did she top the charts?

Through media exposure and with the help of people who also like seeing performers like her, sing and dance in a sexually provocative manner - those people who saw her performance and bought her singles that created this phenomena to happen.

This happened because we accepted and allowed it to happen.

We had fun listening to the music and watching her 'twerk', but we did not see what went on behind the scenes that created the 'Miley Cyrus brand' and the consequence outflow of this.

I will put my shoes into Miley Cyrus' shoes and look.

This is what i see is going on which i would want to direct:

">I fear living in this world system where everyone compete to win to survive
>I fear being alone - i have to attract others in my world
>i have to survive and earn money 
>i can sing, and i have a toned physique, so i can capitalize on that
>let me work with these and see if i can attract enough attention and earn money
>finished recorded a new song
>wanted to popularize my song so it will earn me money
>will perform on stage and make a video so people will know about it
>will have to do something that will make people watch my performance and listen to my song
>will have to do something that will create a name for myself
>will 'twerk' because people like watching women dancing and singing in a sexually provocative manner, this will get their attention
>will put out my tongue to get people's attention because i know they associated something with the tongue like 'seduction' etc.
>I will make my hairdo look like a child's hairdo so i will look like i do not look 'sleazy'
>my brand created, i will create a name for myself and i will get money flowing in
>topped the singles chart and the albums chart
>i win"

Within my so -called 'success or winning', i will look at my life and look within myself and ask myself some questions:

'I know i 'won' but i know that there are poor people who does not eat 3x a day in many parts of the world.' There are homeless in the streets of LA, New York etc.

The poor, the unemployed, the elderly and the uneducated has no LIVING INCOME to survive on.

I am 'winning', and they are 'losing'.

I am coming from the starting point of self-interest.  

This is me creating a brand or a name for myself using my hips to 'twerk', my tongue and my hair to attract attention - all because of money. This is abuse of my body as i feed off of my body's energy to produce thoughts, feelings and emotions and using it within self-interest. 

Let me expand 'Twerking' by saying 
it is a dance to music involving thrusting hip movements and a low squatting stance that is an expression of oneself.

As an artist, there must be a way i can participate in this world where I can help create a world that truly honors life through my expression.

Let me forgive myself and correct myself.

Let me start looking at my life and start writing for a start where i can look at what my thoughts are, my desires, my fears because i can see that this desire to be popular can be fueled by the fear of being alone - within fear of survival.

What is an artist?



Let me expand this by saying
An artist is a skilled performer that stands for what is best for all or what will benefit all.

The Creation of The Miley Cyrus Brand: Fit Physique and Money: Branding


'because you're worth it'

What Is Living Income Guaranteed?

Miley Cyrus Series

'When we work out we don't just do a couple of moves,' says pilates instructor Mari Winsor.
'It's at least a half an hour of working out.
'You have to learn how to not just tighten up your tummy but actually pull your tummy in to your lower back as much as you can. Just doing 40 crunches a day isn't gonna do it for you,' she says.
The Los Angeles-based fitness guru revealed Miley has recently installed a studio in her own home so she can sculpt her body every day, and is especially pleased with the result Mari's workout regime has had on her lithe limbs.
She told People magazine: 'I gave her those legs. She's always going to have those long gorgeous legs. We just toned and firmed in all the right places.
'She wants to be healthy, she wants to have good abs. It always makes her feel better and clearer when she works out.'
Greg Small, spokesperson for Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs), says you need to do more than sit-ups to achieve a fit physique.



 What's with having a fit physique, Money?

Imagine earning money for being fit, where you'd be working out for 30 minutes daily or weekly.

The body of Miley Cyrus is just like anyone's body. It is not special because it is fit. It is seen as special because we have given it a value that make it  seem as if it is 'more than' other's, but i can assure you it isn't. Don't be deceived by the media. They are making profit from every news bit about Miley Cyrus because she is popular. This means there are a lot of people that's going to read your newspaper or watch your TV show if you feature Miley's abs.

What is a Brand?
According to the Word web, a Brand is:
A name given to a product or service

I will expand this by saying,

It is a name given to a product or service whose value is equal to life.

The Miley Cyrus brand is a brand that many people like. The way she presents herself is part of branding. 

What is Branding?
The Word web says,
Branding is  giving a product or service a particular image or brand identification

I will expand this and say,
Branding is giving a product or a service a particular image or brand identification that is equal to who one is - as life.

The media profit from this brand that is the totality of what Miley represent within our mind:

It is the brand of Miley's shoes and what we associated it with
It is the brand of Miley's clothes and what we associated it with
It is the brand of Miley's actions such as twerking and what we associate it with
It is Miley's abs workout and what we associated it with, like an idea of how to get fit, attractive etc.

But Miley as who Miley really is - is Not that.
She is the breath of life within that body.

When people watch her show or read the magazines or newspapers that feature her, the elite and the owners of the corporations that own the media gets money and profit from advertisers.

See those ads or pop-ups that come up when you read the pages of sites you visit? That is where the money is being made, and notice the brand named products being sold, like DKNY underwear, Bettsyville earings, Armani clothes, bags etc.

So, within this, the body is being used to get money and profit for a few, for the elite. This is how we abuse the body. Miley is just a name. it is her abs that people look at, the clothes, the shoes, the total presentation. We then assign a value to those, which makes them seem 'more than'  the value of other things or other people in this world.

No one is above another. We all come from dust and to dust we will return.

We are all birthed here. This is our point of equality.

The clothes come from plants, the raw materials used to make the exercise equipments come from the earth. The water and electricity used by Miley in her everyday life comes from the earth. yet it is Not being talked about here.

We remain blind to what is REAL, all because we see through our minds eyes of DESIRE- desiring flat abs to be Fit and 'Hell-THY' (healthy). We do not see what is going on in physical reality - we are creating 'HELL'.
While money is being made by the media, the poor remains poor. 

We have to look at the equation of Life and align our creation of ourselves to that which gives Life to all that is here. We have to decide from this starting point of what is best for all.

The corporations who make money out of natural resources like the water, oil etc. given by the earth to all of us equally, has to share their profits to the poor. This is a commonsensical thing to do. We can look at or investigate how we can create dividends enough to give a Basic/Living Income, Guaranteed  to the poor, the uneducated, the unemployed, the elderly etc.. This creates a win-win situation because  there will be more money in the economy. People can buy products that the corporations produce and the corporations can increase the minimum wage of its employees. This will create a balanced ecosystem of money which is the first step to a solution in a failing economy. Charity is not a solution.

What is being given by Charity is not even enough for all the poor people on earth to survive in dignity and many organizations had been giving to the poor for many many years. The question we have to ask ourselves is, why is poverty still here? 

We are recreating it within our mind over and over again as as we desire fit abs to look like the stars who like to get fit and in this case abs like Miley's which we associate with 'looking good' and 'attractiveness'.

What we create in 'our within', we mirror in 'our without'

Our fear of being fat or pot bellied fuels our desire for a fit abs. This is the polarity equation we create within our mind.

The media is making profit from our desire by impulsing our fears through advertising messages.

Who else will create this world but all of us who are here?

Who else is creating the Miley brand but us, within our mind?
