On August 25, 2013, the Miley Cyrus VMA performance definitely caused a stir among the audience and long after on the Internet. Whether you watched the exciting show or not, her performance with Robin Thicke lived on long after the awards were all given out.
Today the Internet was blowing up with the dance the singer chose to strut on the stage. In honor of Miley basically dancing on the 'Blurred Lines' singer, these images of classic portraits were remixed to incorporate the famous twerk. The infamous performance was animated, and instead of Miley with Robin Thicke, she is shown dancing on objects or people in popular paintings. For example, the 'Persistance of Memory' by Salvador Dalí painting with the melted clocks now features Miley dancing against a tree.
Likewise, one of the images distastefully features Miley's rear in the air against the Mona Lisa.
