Katie Holmes: Who are you?

Actresska_james_51219707_600_4 Dear Katie,

Not for nothing, but who are you? I see Carol Channing and I see Anna Wintour, but I don't see the girl who once smirked non-stop as Joey Potter and blew me away in "The Ice Storm" and "Go."

The oversized sunglasses are too conspicuous -- screaming, "Look at me! Don't look at me! The bridge of my nose is killing me!" And the black gloves feel, well, aspiring strangler on-the-go.

But it's that expression -- Posh told me to purse my lips and then slightly uplift at the corners. Am I doing it? Do I look like Victoria or a stroke victim? Purse lips, pout, uplift. OrMio_dio_3 was it pout, uplift, purse lips? -- that troubles me most.

Remember an easier time when you didn't feel compelled to mimic a mannequin? Hell, you didn't even brush your hair back then. Your mantra was "Braids or doo-rag? Maybe both!"

Well, some of us miss the old Katie. Don't you? Come home.

actually, she looks just like Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka.

I don't get why people like the Posh look, she's fugly.

Katie Holmes was the Indie girl before that Juno girl.
Sans makeup you can see through her soul and eyes that she is a wonderful person, really beautiful inside not just some shallow blondie who had 5 sexual relationships before 15. I am happy for her to see that she married well. All those talk about Tom Cruise, I dont believe any of it. I see it as some Christian warmongers who doesnt want another religion to compete with their tithe collections.

Does tom keep his flares in case there's a roadside accident in that price upon request red berkin bag she's been carrying? So humble!
