WEEKEND RENDEZVOUS

Posted Mar 06 2009 @ 04:44 PM

She’s been busy filming her new flick The Extra Man in NYC, but Katie Holmes made a quick trip back to LA last weekend. Attending an art class with Suri in Santa Monica in the afternoon of February 28, Katie is seen here looking after her little girl in the parking lot before entering the studio. Dressed casually in black leggings (James Jeans’ Ritchie Slim Leg Clam Digger in Black Flex is super versatile), black t-strap sandals and a khaki wrap tunic over a white tank (try Ecoganik’s better fitting Double Bib Trench Coat in Camel with PGD Style’s Babydoll Tank in White), Katie looks like she could use some help keeping her hair out of her eyes! I can’t tell if the top is an apron for the art class or something Katie really has hanging in her closet; if it’s the latter it’s a little frumpy for me. Is anyone else wondering about the blue nail polish Katie is rocking on her right hand only? Maybe she let Suri practice her manicurist skills – I’m not sure what else could explain it! After getting creative with Suri, TomKat enjoyed a romantic dinner date at Il Sole, though neither looked too happy when they left after their meal. You have to assume it’s due to the pap presence, but I always find myself wondering if there’s some creepy controlling thing going on behind the scenes, no matter how many times they both insist they’re normal. Katie recently took the opportunity to shed some light on what her life is really like married to Tom in a tell-all interview with Glamour. When asked about the 16 yr age gap between Katie and her other half, she replied, “It was never a concern. I know one would think, Now, how is that? But really, we both like to work, we both like our families. It’s being there, being supportive, being an ear. It’s not so much, “Do you think I should do this?” It’s “What do you think of it?” Among other hot topics, Katie rewound a little bit and described her climb to fame: “From an early age I knew that I wanted to be in this business. So I did everything I could to get here, and when I met Tom, I knew in an instant that we were going to be together, that we were going to get married. He does have a very big life. And you know, we just do it. And, as a woman, you make that transition from being single to [being] a partner. I have a teammate, and it’s like, we’re going to make this work. I think it’s safe to assume Katie’s determination keeps her moving forward, but I still wonder if there’s more to it than being a team player. Thoughts?
