NY Fug.com: The Katie Holmes Marketing Conundrum

Katie Holmes — as of this writing, losing to Kate “Jordan” Price in round one of Fug Madness, which would be an interesting and not wholly unsurprising upset — is a mystery to us. Why is she designing clothes now? Why? We ask that, and all kinds of other things, in today’s column for NY Mag.com:

“When Tom Cruise swept Katie Holmes out of his dreams and into his

would emerge from the rubble of her former life.”
