You show any person under the age of about 35 a picture of a blue wig and a cupcake bra and see how long it takes them to guess what musician they belong to.

Miley's press was for about 2 months and then died down. I'm a Miley fan btw.
No it wasn't the VMAs were in August and Wrecking Ball in September not to mention WCS before that and being the most top costume for halloween.

In America anyone can easily become "high society" if they have money.
