Do you wonder about Victoria Beckham?

I don't suppose I'd wonder about this at if every time she'd been photographed over the past 14 years she'd had one of her other three children in her arms and it was clearly her parenting style to keep her children with her constantly, but she hasn't.

I'm fully well aware that different children have different characters/traits/needs and have their own individual relationships with their mothers but this does seem to be a departure from the way she's been with her other three children.

You just never see a photo of VB these days without Harper in her arms and that doesn't seem to have been the case before.

Am I being cynical to think that it might have something to do with her being a much wanted and longed for daughter after three sons?

I am a bit Envy of child holding hips Grin

I've also heard that VB is alright. She has the rep of - if she's doing a photoshoot or summit - being very professional, always on time, not diva-ish at all and well-prepared. She's good to work with, appara.

fromparistoberlin · 01/03/2013 11:42

I do think through that she is going to have to stop, Harper is a chink and she will hurt her back

Im sure she is lovely I dont hate her I just hate the hand on waist pouty posing it drives me potty oh and face everywhere is a bit Hmm and I dont think she is a fashionista or style icon, or whatever it is she is supposed to be, I did say I am sure she is lovely Wink

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/03/2013 11:43

Well, Sparkling - you'd not like being taken down the shopping centre NAKED, would you?

She's like this I think - inspired by VB's capey drapey.

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/03/2013 11:43

she'd like

Sparklingbrook · 01/03/2013 11:43

I am sure VB is lovely. I am sure her children are angels. Not sure about her DH. However I don't particularly want to see it whatever she is up to. Which is generally fairly uninteresting.

mrsjay · 01/03/2013 11:43

sorry but Grin that is the typo of the day

HazeltheMcWitch · 01/03/2013 11:43

Arf at chink!

The paparazzi hound well-known people 24/7 and take thousands of pictures a day.

Which ones appear in the papers?

The ones the newspaper editors choose to use and which fit in with their current opinion of that particular celebrity.

'The middle son has been modelling for Burberry. They have no shame.'

What's wrong with him modeling?

Really I don't get why everyone expects celebs to behave like those of us not in the public eye. Their lives are just different entirely. Perhaps she clings to the baby because she knows she isn't going to have any more?

In any case, who cares?

Sparklingbrook · 01/03/2013 19:49

Because he is only modelling for Burberry because he is VB's son. Unless as I said he auditioned and won the gig fair and square lottie. Wink Let's hope so eh?

I found out that all the other Spice Girls follow VB on Twitter. She however follows none of them. Mmmmm.

Nope, she had one of hers around the time I had one of mine, and she carried him around for years.

Sparklingbrook · 01/03/2013 20:05

Do you think ever? I'm not sure.

I have met VB through a mutual friend, and she was lovely. She was actually quite shy and did not want to draw attention to herself at all as opposed to her sister who was definitely the gobby one

I dont get how people make all these judgements about a parent/family from a few paparazzi shots (which as someone else said will have been edited from thousands of pics to suit the agenda of the tabloid that day).

Also dont really get the problem with Romeo modelling for Burberry - yes, he probably did get the gig because he is a Beckham, but what is wrong with that?

Sparklingbrook · 01/03/2013 20:53

It's not very fair is it? Earning money from your parents' name isn't that a no-no? Or is that only as an adult?

I still don't think my DS2 would be seen dead in a Burberry flasher mac whoever was modelling it. Grin

Haberdashery · 01/03/2013 20:55

I have worked with VB and she was an arse. It was a long time ago, though. Maybe she's improved.

MrsJREwing · 01/03/2013 20:56

I gather it was always the family that brought Vic down. I recall a lady I was on a course with sharing a Vic story. The lady was M&S management and the spice girls could go round and help them selves, the others grabbed a few bits, Vic went it huge trolley with her Mum and sister, all three trolly's overflowing, they made the most of the opportunity.

voscar · 01/03/2013 20:59

I don't get the upset at the son modelling for Burberry. His parents career choice has kinda fucked up any chance he had at a 'normal' life. He can't exactly toddle off to university and work an undergrad job can he? Could
You imagine the judgement, hassle, bullying and shite he'd have to deal with every day? Those kids have no choice but to make the most of their parents connections as they will alway be celebrities by association.

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 01/03/2013 21:00

I love the idea of people knowing her so well (via the papers!) that they can judge her parenting skills.

I know alot of people who have met her and although she has her moments (who doesn't!!) she comes across as being very different from the other spice girls who are desperate for fame and the trappings of B list celebrities.. She is more eager to get her head down and get on being a very rich and successful business woman. (who happens to have gorgeous children and a beautiful husband)

Sparklingbrook · 01/03/2013 21:02

That is so sad voscar. Even members of the royal family manage go to University, I would be Sad that those doors are closed just because of who is parents are and he will be stuck modelling raincoats forever.
