CBB followed the rumor this weekend that the real reason it took so long to see the first pictures of Suri Cruise in Vanity Fair, and the reason candid pictures of her have been non-existent since then, is because Suri has a large and distinctive birthmark located in the middle of her forehead between her eyes. The rumor is Tom and Katie were embarrassed and didn't show her in public until it could be addressed. CBB says:
It was rumored that there was a lot of airbrushing involved in her Vanity Fair shoot and this is what was probably airbrushed … We don't think a birthmark takes anything away from a child's beauty and are merely suggesting this as a possible reason the baby has been so carefully hidden … From what we understand, there are three major types of birthmarks: port wine stains, hemangiomas, and vascular malformations. We don't know what type of birthmark this is, but it's likely they have tried to have it removed or reduced because the color is very subtle.
Many readers have written in saying that they think Suri has an angel's kiss or stork's bite. A third of all newborns are born with salmon patches (which are typically found in the midline of the face or neck), with most fading by 18 months. I'm not suggesting that a birthmark like this would have kept her out of the public- I'm wondering if what we see in these photos is a port wine stain or hemangioma that is being treated and is now much paler.
Tom and Katie are idiots and they live in a world of make believe, so they almost definitely think a birthmark means their kid is a wizard and/or dragon rider. Obviously they have to keep her hidden from her enemies, probably an evil prince who prophecy says can only be slayed by the Marked One. Either that or the birthmark is just because Katie started punching her stomach when she heard Tom Cruise's seed was growing inside of her. Like they did in Aliens.(SURI CLOSE UPS – close-up of the first picture here, the second picture here, the third picture here. Compare those to this picture in Vanity Fair)
