For every blog post and story that falls under the "Suri Cruise is wearing an expensive girly outfit" category, there's at least one story about Shiloh Jolie-Pitt's equal and opposite sartorial sense. In the last year, Shiloh's been wearing boyish clothes and had her hair cut short. Angelina Jolie, in turn, sent the globe into a tizzy by saying in the August Vanity Fair, "She wants to be a boy, so we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers." But that wasn't the end. It seems like almost every week there's an item like this one in Us Weekly that belabors the point about Shiloh's preferred style, or this one in Life & Style that asks why Angelina would be "turning Shiloh into a boy." I can't help but feel like far too much attention is being put on the fact that Shiloh prefers cargo pants over party dresses. She's 4 years old and she's lucky to have parents that allow her to express herself; let's not read so deeply into this. Tell us what you think with your vote, above!
