Dahlings, I have a question: With her sophisticated new look, her husband’s support and returned-to-calm demeanor and a beautiful baby girl, why does the Snarkstress Style Icon Leader, Katie Holmes, never seem to be smiling anymore? Why?

I’ll tell you why: she’s been hanging out with the likes of Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Frowny-Face, too much lately. Seriously. Doesn’t it seem a bit like a coinky-dink that Katie’s hair is suddenly a sleek bob? That she’s lost a gazillion pounds (she still looks good, but is definitely on the verge of over-doing it right quick here)? That she seems to always angle her face in “that way” narrowing her eyes a bit to look mysterious and coy? Me thinks the Beckhams and Cruises have had one too many dinner parties where Posh is conducting “Look Like an Indifferent Bitch 101″ seminars and Katie’s her top pupil.

Now really, it’s no secret I think Katie is amazing. Her marathon-running, jet-setting mommy ass is completely inspirational. Her clothes and style truly are exceptional. But her smile is missing and that, it seems, is a missing part of her character. Just because you’re all grown up, doesn’t mean you can’t crack a smile, love. Learn it, live it. Tell Posh to take a hike!

Just my two cents, dahlings. Happy Hump Day. *mwah*

Katie Holmes at the Critic’s Choice Awards

The race is on and Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon are neck and neck in the great debate of Hollywood’s Top Style Icon. But I hafta say, Katie’s look at Sunday’s Critic’s Choice Awards may be enough to push her into the top spot. She looked stunning, yet real. I half expect her to have some running gear or Mom threads under that fabulous dress, and some tennies backstage so she can interchange between her different “lives”.

But Reese rocks, too, so damn. Tough call.

Have you voted in my poll yet? If not, hop over to the right sidebar and let your voice be heard!

Is Katie Holmes Your #1 Gal?

Yeah, I’ll admit it. Mrs. Cruise, aka Katie Holmes, has got me seriously rethinking my favorite Hollywood Style Mavens. I mean, has this chick come a long way or what? She’s gone from Tom’s young and giggly couch-jumping inspiration to the epitome of class, sophistication, and Bad-Ass Momdom (um, hello. When was the last time you ran a marathon during the day, then strapped on your stilettos for a movie premier at night? Huh? Huh?)

Anyhoo, for a while I’ve had a poll in the sidebar asking you to vote for your favorite Style Icon, but I’ve updated that and am now asking for a new vote. This time I’ll let you add your own choices, but the four gals on the list happen to be my faves – I just can’t decide who I like best.

So if the thought of the Iowa and New Hampshire Caucusses make your eyes cross, or you’re just sick of trying to discern whether Hilary is more fashionable than Obama, I’ll give your mind a break and just have you vote for your favorite Hollywood Style Icon instead. You’re welcome.

Now, vote away. Tell your friends. Make your voice be heard. Long live the principles of democracy (and high fashion!)
