I was thinking of culture in terms of what one might finds in petri dishes and other less pleasant receptacles

“celebrity culture” isn’t that what’s called a contradiction in terms?

WoE,
I suspect Vicky is a gougere free zone ! The temptation of being in the vicinity of the now legendary gougere is certainly not conducive to the wearing of hot pants!

Rod,

If we’ve told her once, we’ve told her a thousand times, gougere are for eating not for padding out a shirt

In the pictures we see of her she always looks cross, never very happy …. is this because she spends so much time keeping up appearances … we all know what a drag that can be day after day. However, she wears her hot pants well and that is about the only positive thing we have to say about Victoria, perhaps we should dig deeper but we can’t be bothered.

WoE

p.s. must be awful if your husband looks better in a skirt than you do, no wonder she’s cross!

I’ve nothing against Victoria as a person but it baffles me why she should receive an award for anything, have I missed something? If she hadn’t been married to David Beckham would we have seen her in the newspapers for years, since the Spice Girls days? Am I just a dinosaur?

The Jordan we all know - excellent !
Welcome back, your absence is always noted.
The shoes would have been hot but for the white heels and the fact she left the shoe-horns in the back

Shiraz,
many thanks for the great comment. I have to say one of her biggest assets is a sense of real style as opposed to merely “fashion”
This point clearly is clearly made by your reference to older pictures, she never looks ridiculous. People who slavishly follow couture fashion can look ridiculous when looked at retrospectively, indeed look ridiculous at the time, but Victoria Beckham always looks “good”

Thanks again for the insight Shiraz and please do feel free to comment anytime.
All the best
Rod

Victoria Beckham
I must admit it has been interesting watching her change over the years, she certainly has got better with age and money.
One thing I do admire is the way her and David bounce back as a couple
no matter what the press or the general public throw at them.
I personally think Victoria will be like a fine wine, gets better with age.
Nice to see David back in an England shirt.
England v Estonia will be one to watch.
