As you may remember, the February 19th posting reports on my Justin Bieber Experience, or at least about going to his movie. By now I've pretty much forgotten about the movie except for one small item. Miley Cyrus' short dress!
It is the type of dress that gives men of my age a smile on the face and hope for the future. The storm clouds of the day open up to sunshine, the birds sing in the trees. The sickly sweet scent of cherry blossoms float on the breeze....
That aside, what I've been wondering all this time is - How does she keep that short dress from riding up? If you are lucky enough to have seen her performance, no doubt you've been wondering the same thing. Oh Miley! Do tell us your secret!
During the performance she runs and jumps all around like a crazy monkey and doesn't appear to ever pull down her skirt. Not once. It never rides up. How can that be? It appears unnatural.
I've been investigating this phenomenon. There are 2 possibilities that I can think of:
Whatever method, it worked!

I saw it! Last weekend was the opening of the Justin Bieber movie. I took 6 kids to see it. ALL of them protested and said they did NOT like Justine Bieber. It would be a terrible movie! A waste of time and money! They went anyway. A Justin Bieber movie is better than no movie at all on a boring Saturday. As they were sitting in the theater seats waiting for the movie to begin they continued the protest.
As for me, I was expecting it to be very cringe-worthy. I didn't like him much either. To be honest, I had never listened to any of his songs more than just passing sound bites. All I really knew of him was what I had read in stupid fan based news articles. I've come to the conclusion that such a judgement is very hypocritical. Making such a judgement after I've heard his songs would be OK. So this was to be an education for me.
We went early to the theater because I was expecting long lines. After all it was opening weekend for the movie. The theater was empty. A total of 25 people were in the theater. And this was opening weekend! I was not surprised when I read on Monday about the poor opening weekend for the movie.
The results? I actually found Justin very charming, smart, someone I'd like to be with! My kids had the same impression. I think it was a bit eye opening for us all.
Here is a list of the thoughts we all took away with us after the movie:
