MAKEOVER



Friday’s Burning Question: Does super tot Suri Cruise, darling daughter of actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, ever get to wear a T-shirt, jeans or shorts, and tennis shoes? I’m highly concerned about why she’s always photographed wearing a dress--a longish, beautiful, sometimes frilly dress, at that. And fancy, shiny shoes. What’s the deal? Is she always going to a formal play date? She looks so sterile. I’m worried that this child is not being allowed to get down and dirty. She’s probably never had food encrusted on her sweet little toddler face, scabbed up a knee, or spilled Kool-Aid all over herself. Why, I bet she’s never even had sticky sucker hands, either. It’s just not normal! Has she ever exchanged kisses with a slobbery dog, played in the kitty litter box, or squished mud between her toes? I think not. While her mother slinks around in a pair of jeans, Suri’s dressed up like a little princess 24/7!

Well, I’m calling for an official investigation. No normal child should be this clean and neat and uncomfortably itchy looking--all the time!!! Suri needs to have a Dress Down Day, where she’s allowed to look like every other grubby little three-year-old who’s rolling in fun. Since I’m no longer close, personal friends of her parents, or even remote fans, for that matter, I don’t know where to start with my Cruise-aid to Free Suri of her fashion prison. Any suggestions on how to stage an intervention?

Yeah Tom and I got way back..we need to look at our busy schedules and arrange a play date.. Suri kind of doesn't like Taylor though..(she thinks Taylor is too pretty) poor girl. :) nothing some dirt and play-dough can't fix

Sorry, you had a falling out w/ the Cruise's, but you make a very good point!

Perhaps, we should picket on her behalf!

My grandaughters are often costumed in very dressy dresses. They call them princess dresses. The fact that their other grandmother makes them, while I scour thrift stores for little worn party and wedding attendent dresses makes some of these outfits cost less than the Garanimals at Walmart. At least it is a change from my own son, who lived in camo and Superman outfits for years. His favorite was some Halloween "muscles" which he wore long after his He-man phase was over. The freedom to let a child dress as they choose is a mark of a good mother. Besides, there are so many other battles to fight.
