Vicki B. Does ‘Harpers Bazaar’ Magazine
Also really loves her leather

Vicki B., who has been spending a bit of time in NYC after her recent quick trip to the UK, is back home in SoCal and is also featured on the cover of the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine wherein she talks about (among other things) how she turns into the character of “Victoria Beckham“. HMMM … its’ not quite as ridic as Beyoncé‘s Sasha Fierce nonsense but it sorta has the same stink, no? Here is VB‘s Bazaar mag cover and a portion of her coverstory interview:


Image is so important to Victoria Beckham that she has it down to a science. As for her lab, “It’s funny,” she tells January’s Harper’s Bazaar, on sale Dec. 16, “I go to the gym now.” Once there, “I run four miles a day,” says the “very disciplined” mom of three boys: Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6; and Cruz, 3. Then, “I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into ‘Victoria Beckham.’ ” As for what that entails, “I’ll try on all my dresses, and I’ll pick out a handbag, and I’ll put on the shades. I instantly turn into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it … But it’s a true character because it’s still me.” Most pictures parade her patented pout – dubbed her “Blue Steel” look – though she admits to lightening up: “I have started smiling … I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile.” But what hasn’t disappeared are her trademark high heels, though some have deemed them as impractical. “Oh, c’mon,” she insists, “they’re not that hard to walk in … They’re not uncomfortable! [But] you have to go to a sex shop to get this spray to polish them.” As for how she dresses when the paparazzi are not following her, Beckham, 34, says, “I run around the house in a tracksuit sometimes.” Outside the house – where she likes to take walks with her family – is another matter. “If I go to the supermarket looking like shit, that affects my work. I am selling an image. Plus, I have fun with it,” she says. “I tell you, the paparazzi would not be sitting outside if they realized I was the most boring person in Hollywood.”

LOL! Even tho I give the robotic-looking little sprite a bit of a hard time (all the time), I really do love her. VB is really fab and I don’t always make that very clear. Srsly … the “smile that isn’t a smile”?? Brills! Hahahaha! I love how she talks about going “to the supermarket” as if it were an everyday occurrence. That woman has NO NEED to ever set foot inside of a supermarket, period. After the jump, check out a few photos from VB‘s Harper’s Bazaar magazine spread and check out a few pics of her arrival back in LA …


Overall … the photospread is very nice. I like the manwear and the pretty dress with the flowers on it … but the pic with the clear plastic furniture looks really tacky. I can’t believe she’d agree to pose with such fug patio furniture. The full coverstory is a fun read, check it out HERE. Anyways, as I said … I honestly do love the lady (why else would I talk about her almost every day) but she does make it so easy to poke fun at her sometimes. Here are a few pics of Vicki B. making her grand arrival at LAX Airport over the weekend:


I mean — really, Posh? Isn’t this just a wee bit too much black leather? Hahahaha … I bet she squeaks while she walks in this outfit … so funny. Sometimes … she’s just a little to much.

    I too love this woman to death!!!

  2. Aidan says:

    I too enjoy snickering at VB, but I really do love her. She’s just so wonderfully ridiculous, but the best part is that she totally plays it up. Most people don’t seem to get that she’s really having a ton of fun. You WORK Vicky!

  3. tanya says:

    Can’t say that I love her but I really like her style and like that she portrays this “character” whenever she’s out in public. It certainly helps when you’re marketing a brand. I also like that she has a sense of humor about it all.

  4. surgeongirl says:

    OMG! she looks spectacular – gorgeous – stunning!

  5. nicole says:

    theres something about VBs photoshoots that i just love

  6. sally says:

    She’s so much prettier without those ridiculous sunglasses!

  7. PITNBer says:

    I love her because she has a wicked sense of humor and she’s always in on the joke. No one really needs to know/see the ‘real’ you, unless you so choose to let them see. She knows exactly what she’s doing and has been pulling it off flawlessly. VB’s got it going on!

  8. kk says:

    i have to disagree, i love the transparent furniture – especially in that style!

  9. Panti Christ says:

    I just saw that chair in my Architectural Digest magazine (the one with Brad ‘mustache’ Pitt as the coverstory, methinks!) – it’s a designer chair…she loves her designerware!!!

  10. Paz says:

    i have to disagree – i think her character is stupid. Sasha Fierce makes sense to me — Beyonce is an entertainer, and that’s her persona on stage. But Victoria Beckham just designs clothes (that don’t sell) and shop. Why does she need an alter ego?

  11. Natalie says:

    i heart victoria

    <333 VB

  13. allison says:

    TOO SKINNY. BLEH.

  14. Joanne says:

    When did just smiling become unfashionable?

  15. S says:

    have you never seen runway faces? Its not about the face, it’s about the clothing. thats why no one smiles.

  16. loonytick says:

    I can’t remember exactly what she said, but something in her NBC special last year made me think she doesn’t like her smile. Looking back at some of her Spice Girls era photos, before she’d totally developed this controlled public demeanor, I noticed she did used to let loose with a kind of goofy grin at times. I personally thought it was attractive, but it wasn’t particularly posh, if that makes sense. I think she probably feels self conscous and this “Victoria Beckham” character of sorts is just the her being the in-control version of her that doesn’t show expressions, etc. that she doesn’t want the world to see, like her less than posh smile.

  18. Danz says:

    OMG I’d love to see what that white dress she’s wearing in the middle pic looks like! It looks amazng! Ahhh VB, she’s simply unique

  19. Nimbus says:

    I disagree… i quite like that clear plastic patio furniture… but you’d be falling over it in the dark LOL…..
    ” you have to go to a sex shop to get this spray to polish them.” – WTF/????????OK

  20. Aly says:

    I actually frickin’ love the suit. Androgyny is a good look for her. She looks awesome in all these pictures, but yes, too skinny.
