Victoria Beckham. Who has not heard of her? She is a former Spice Girl, turned footballer's wife, turned fashion designer. But she has always remained Posh - whether she is teetering 8 months pregnant in 6 inch Yves St. Laurent platform heels or eating arugula for dinner.

I think she is a fascinating woman. Mother of 4 with a waist the same diameter as a football (how quaint) and successful fashion designer. I have always thought she looked good, wherever she went she looked, well, posh, and clean and put together. Never cracking a smile or shown eating (except for the horrible arugula incident.) I have also wondered what goes on inside that head of hers. Now, I have been dieting for about 36 hours and ALL I can think about is food. When to eat; when not to eat; what to eat; what not to eat. It is a constant battle between my willpower and my waistline. And I have already almost caved. Twice. Today. But I did not waiver. I just had a tomato instead. Do you think this is how Ms. Vicki thinks or is she completely desensitized to desserts? 

Dress size aside she has accomplished a lot. Her fashion line is extremely popular and being worn by everyone from Blake to Viola, and making everyone else in between look damn good. Her silhouettes are sleek; she does not shy away from color and her cuts are usually form fitting and flattering. And from what I can see she is branching out to a little more quirky palate a la Jennifer Lawrence and the always fabulous Michelle Williams (a customer I never though Beckham would have). Truth of the matter is I seem to love all of Beckham's designs - from a tight, orange evening gown to a black and white shift dress.

I think we might be able to be BFFs - but only if she would eat a good forsaken cookie with me, but she'd have to wait til Sunday, because thats when I get my "freebie" meal (See, Vicki - You and I are not so different after all).

Now, just in case you resisted my first attempt here is another Posh Spice nugget of greatness. Just try to say no, then try not to sing along, then try not to slam it to the left.
