Recently at my day job, Tip Top Pottery, I got a commission Birthday Plate. When these are picked the Birthday Kid gets to choose what they want painted on the plate. Usually it's an animal or a flower or something simple. But this very special girl who was turning 9 screamed her demand from the top of her lungs "HANNAH MONTANA!" "Are you sure you don't want something else?" I pleaded... "HANNAH MONTANA!" She shouted jumping up and down.
Now I don't pretend to know anything about Hannah Montana but during my research to find an excellent image of her, do you know what I discovered? HANNAH MONTANA IS THE SAME PERSON AS MILEY CYRUS! HOW in the WORLD do you think she was able to hide it for ALL these years?! I mean I didn't go see the movie or watch the show or anything but that girl must have had an exceedingly difficult time keeping her secret. I mean she literally would be able to enjoy the best of both worlds! And I suppose I'm not the first person to be captured by the spell of Hannah/Miley, Jen Vaughn is another cartoonist I know who has come across this phenomenon in her career as well as her friend Adam WarRock who even wrote a ballin' song inspired by and sampled from Hannah/Miley.
Needless to say I was being paid, so I created this plate, knowing full well that this "Hannah" girl was a complete and utter lie. Here's what the immortalized lie looks like on ceramics:


Once the plate is fired I'll post a picture of how it ended up looking. But for now, I leave you contemPLATE-ing the meaning of duel lives and why someone would think it's a good idea to deceive their friends... for further reading check out Jen Vaughn's in depth review of the vortex that is Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus

I anticipate that this celebrity-dualism is a syndrome, and there will be more frequent double-life revelations as time goes on.
My predictions:
Robert Pattinson = Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Dakota Fanning = both Olsen twins (she uses a mirror)
Scarlett Johanssen = a robot

duality
And don't forget to pay homage to Garth Brooks and his failed attempt to rock out as Chris Gaines.......yikes.
