I've been thinking about it lately and don't know why. I don't think its jealousy. maybe its because she is getting away with it, and has had unbelievable luck in life with the "singing" and "designing" She is probably nice enough in RL but her pouting and posing just grate.

It looks to be yet more self promotion from them.

Are you ok today, Mrs D?

MamaLazarou · 01/11/2015 16:58

YANBU, I can't bear the sight of her mardy face, posing and pouting all over the place. I'm sure she is perfectly lovely in real life, but she always looks so stuck up in photos.

Or they could be using their celebrity status to highlight the need for these things and the fact that the NHS doesn't provide them?

It just depends on how you look at the world.

TheFairyCaravan · 01/11/2015 16:59

No, it's not MrsDV because I didn't post a really patronising post like you did!Smile

MistressMerryWeather · 01/11/2015 17:00

Don't let it put you off MrsD.

This thread became very strange very quickly.

In another world, VB would have appeared on TOWIE. That's how posh she is.

I like her. She appears to have decent moral values, clearly values her wider family and maintains a certain level of privacy for them, her children appear to be well mannered and fairly well rounded considering the relative wealth they're surrounded by.

The rest is inconsequential, she had no influence on what upbringing she had and has worked to provide stable, supportive home for her family showing an interest in helping others through charity work.

Whether she pouts or likes clothes too much or sings off key is irrelevant. You csn like her or not, but she certainly appears to be a decent person, walking through life with integrity.

I think the Beckhams are very generous towards charities and are discreet about what they do, as they should be.

I cannot understand the nastiness aimed in her direction, people are pissed off because she doesn't gurn into the camera aka Myleene Klass.

I think that's about it really.

Crikey! That did get weird fast!

Not sure how MrsDVs post got that response, to be honest, or why the Beckkams got castigated for advertising mobility aids... that being part of their job, their charitable enterprises etc.

howtorebuild · 01/11/2015 17:09

I have seen FC, post on several threads about her disability, as I have seen you post about your family's health.

CountBeculaMumsnet · 01/11/2015 17:09

Peace and love please everyone.

whitesklyer · 01/11/2015 17:10

Oh Jesus, what just happened. Thought this thread would have sunk without a trace Hmm I dislike her thats ok, others like her thats ok as well. VB annoys people with the sulkiness and smugness. Maybe she is a good business woman etc etc but I don't see it, just a really lucky lady with good PR. Going to the corner now to sit with my unreasonableness.

You'd hope the Beckhams would be very generous towards charities when they are worth £508 million and Romeo or Brooklyn or whoever it is can earn £45,000 a day modelling for Burberry.

It would be revolting if they weren't.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 01/11/2015 17:12

Peace and Love indeed CountBecula

All this argey bargy about people we don't even know, who'd have thought it Wink

Bit naive.

She is not ever smug, where has she ever looked smug?

thornrose · 01/11/2015 17:13

Bloody hell, how did people get so invested on a Victoria Beckham thread, of all the subjects!

Oh now Ms Klass is someone I do find very irritating. And no I've never met her!

howtorebuild · 01/11/2015 17:15

I will discuss it tomorrow, if you still want to. Peace and love, all!
