Morgan- Thank you. That’s exactly what I wanted to say, but I didn’t know quite how to word it.

In terms of them being “damned if they do, damned if they don’t”, I just remembered something I meant to point out yesterday.

First of all, I apologize in advance for yet another Jolie-Pitt reference! Anyway, up until recently, Angelina and Brad were constantly criticized for leaving Shiloh at home all the time (now that Shi’s older, she seems to be going out with her siblings more).

At the same time, people criticize Katie and Tom for taking Suri everywhere! Talk about damned if they do, damned if they don’t!

I’ll have to agree wth CelebBabyLover on this one; I think they’re damned if they do, damned if they don’t. As for the backdoor approach; this is New York, not LA and people need to remember that. There are only so many “backdoors” available. And why exactly should people have to spend their lives going in and out through back doors? Because they’re worried about what we’re going to say? I’d be a little more worried about the message that sends to my kids rather than some designer sending them shoes which will (in all honesty) work more in that designer’s favor than my child’s.

If I was rich I would still buy some of my clothes at Walmart becaue I like their clothes.

@kay
Yes, yes, yes, I would LOVE to see her with crocs lol that would be sweet! Imagine that, all dressed up in front of a posh Manhattan restaurant, wearing crocs:) We should donate some!

I rarely hear about too many celebrities donating their money to charity…but that doesn’t mean they don’t do it. No one knows what they do with their money. But when you donate it’s a personal thing not something to be broadcast.

Suri has Roger Vivier shoes? And custom made for her? WOW. Now she is my fashion icon. She is going to grow up with a great sense of fashion. No crocs for this little one.

I’m not talking about keeping her inside all the time, that’s the other extreme and I agree that this wouldn’t be healthy. But you can’t tell me that the level of exposion she gets isn’t deliberately created by her parents. They are fame hungry. Katie Holmes was photographed twice on a daily basis when she went to her rehearsals(backdoor, anyone?), they’re constantly photographed, as someoneelse pointed out, leaving fancy restaurants with Suri etc – that’s not something I would describe as ‘just living their life’. It’s parading her around and while I agree with Joeanne that it’s dreadful to always bring the Jolie/Pitts into this, I would say they’re staging candids just as well. it’s not that obvious and they do spend months hiding, giving their children a more normal life which is why I like them a lot better.

I don’t know… It’s just that in the recent weeks, Suri has been so obviously uncomfortable and it’s so sad. She’s such an extremely gorgeous little girl and used to be so different (from appearance). I wish they would keep her hidden just for a while. (And, for the record, I’m not one to believe in conspiracies;)

Don’t even get me started on Scientology. People need to educate themselves on that, Tom Cruise or not.

It seems to me that Roger Vivier got a lot of publicity, and probably sales, from Suri and Katie’s press coverage. hence the ‘gift’ of shoes to Suri. If I had Katies means I would definitely have a balenciaga in every colour We all have our weaknesses.

First the Christian Loubs and now the Roger Vivier. Seriously, Suri would not be able to tell the difference from these to a pair of Wal-mart shoes. Everything the Cruises do is just so extravagant and excessive
