Inadequate Me


I just know I could never be that drop-dead gorgeous creature always depicted in magazines and romance novels. Others may attribute it to genetics but I suppose, part of it is also fate. Why would Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for instance end up with each other to produce Suri Cruise? Isn’t sophisticated Nicole supposed to have been the pinnacle of his woman-searching endeavor? And yet, there they are, the way my parents ended up with each other (and not with someone who has a Latin or French descent)……And there I was, kicking and screaming (probably realizing even at birth that I would have wanted to look just a little bit like Angelina Jolie).
