October 24, 2009 - Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a star like Disney's Hannah Montana? Most little girls do. For fun, your child can even "be" the hip teen idol for a day with Disneys Hannah Montana child costumes. It's not too late for your daughter to groove with friends on Halloween then go home, safe from the prying eyes of paparazzi and rubber-neckers. Nice. That's a cherished freedom Disney's Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus, doesn't have.
Just look at recent news about Miley Cyrus' efforts to "keep her private life private." On October 8, she closed her Twitter account mentioning her The Last Song costar and rumored love interest, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. It's just one more real life move by Miley for privacy, an effort to balance a "normal life" with stardom.
Isn't that what Disney's Hannah Montana movie and television series are all about? In them Miley demonstrates how difficult it is to be a normal teenager and a pop star at the same time. She hides her secret identity as rock star Hannah Montana, even from her best friend at first. She's afraid Lilly will look at her differently and no longer bond with the real Miley.
How many teens dream of being a movie star, rock star, or top fashion model? Have they really given thought to what life is truly like for a superstar? With a curious eye for celebrity gossip, most forget: That is a real person that the press, tabloids, and fans are chasing and gossiping about.
For the superstar, the dream can become a haunting nightmare. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide… the paparazzi and public never turn off. For example, in one episode Miley meets "The Rock." She comes very close to selling an embarrassing picture of him. She is even running out of the room with the picture when he says: "Why can't you people ever give me a break?" That's something Miley herself has said and felt, and is perhaps a motivating factor for her current retrenchment in social media.
So maybe the next time we read the latest gossip on Miley Cyrus, Julia Roberts, or Kate Gosselin, we will be wise enough to step back and ask ourselves if we would want our personal business exposed, twisted, and mangled to the public. Ask yourself if you would like cruel things -- especially untrue things -- said about your children. Or maybe for the paparazzi to show up at your child's fifth birthday party. Not nice. But they did that. The tabloid press was everywhere on the Gosselin children's fifth birthday.
What a relief that our children can experience some of the fun excitement of stardom-for-a-night without the true life consequences! And with all the filth pouring out of Hollywood today, it's good to have a "star image" like Hannah with whom our children can identify, one who is wholesome and down-to-earth. Each of Disney's Hannah Montana episodes has good life lessons, value based and on point. Sure, Miley made mistakes, but in the episodes she always learned from them, made amends, got up and moved onward and upward, building and encouraging good character and compassion.
That's why Disneys Hannah Montana Halloween Costumes are among the hottest choices for young girls, teens and Moms this season. The clock is ticking, but the good news is that there's still time to get snazzy or funky Hannah Montana Child Costumes in time for Halloween - or as a great Christmas gift idea - through a popular, reliable supplier such as the one whose Hannah Montana costumes are showcased at http://www.squidoo.com/hannah-montana-disney . Most major costume shops offer 24-48 hour delivery, so your child can still experience stardom glamour the safe way this Halloween. She won't be hounded like Miley Cyrus, who for now must be "Hannah Montana All The Time."
