The Mamarazzi moms spend $1 million on t-shirts!!!
Guess what? We're lying.
OK, we actually do have a bunch of Mamarazzi t-shirts, courtesy of the lovely Kristin at Baby Brewing. Want a peek? Here's the design:
They're white cotton, fitted, with the design in dark red. To match the website. But they didn't cost anywhere near $3 million. How could they? They're t-shirts.
What brought this on? The following headline in The Daily Mail:
Little Miss Precocious: The Cruises' designer daughter Suri, the three-year-old with a million-dollar wardrobe
With a headline like that, how can you not click? We had to see. Sure, we had to see these fabulous clothes, but we also wanted to check the Daily Mail's journalistic know-how.
How did they come up with the million dollar figure? Did they interview shop owners? Sneak into designer baby boutiques and peek at the price tags? Bribe the nanny? Go through the Cruise's trash and collect receipts? Call up Katie Holmes and ask?
Well, guess what. We read through the entire article and found zip. They offered no evidence at all. Go ahead. Read it yourself.
While you're at it, study the pictures. Does that look like a million dollar worth of clothes?
Not yet it doesn't. But with a little photoshopping ...
she looks like a million bucks now!
Even though I see some CrewCuts in there and their stuff is expensive, I'd be surprised if she has a million dollar wardrobe.
The Daily Mail article mentions some things I've read elsewhere, including the fact that Suri has no schedule is pretty much allowed to do what she wants. Also, the fact that she is pretty much surrounded by children and doesn't really have playdates. So sad.
So this explains why Katie Holms always looks like crap -- she's spending her clothing allowance on Suri!
Ahem - is this where I sweetly ask, Where teh hellz is mah shirt?
That being said, you'd have to try pretty damn hard to spend a million dollars on a child's wardrobe... especially when such a significant amount of the clothing budget is spent on Tommy's lifts.

Kristin, the sad truth is, I was totally blindsided by back-to-school this year, what with my son pretty much flunking his freshman year in high school ... but now the dust has settled somewhat, and I'm ready to make good on my rash promise to send t-shirts to mah peeps!!!
Just keep chucking bricks at my head and it will
[THUNK]
"Ow!"
happen.
Kristin, the thing about Tom's lifts is that they're just terrible. If you're going to wear something like that, at least choose black or other dark shoes, so the lifts aren't so noticeable.
