Victoria Beckham Does ‘Elle’ Magazine
Victoria Beckham is featured on the cover and in the pages of the October issue of Elle magazine … and because she is a diva supreme, Ms. Thang gets not one but TWO magazine covers for the mag — one for Elle subscribers and one for the regular peons who pick up the issue at newsstands. Here is Vicki B. on the cover of the subscriber issue of Elle and some quotes from her coverstory interview:
Dressed in nude stockings and suspenders and reclining on a diving board looking every inch the Hollywood star, it’s hard to imagine Victoria Beckham has any hang-ups at all. The former Spice Girl has a hint of Audrey Hepburn about her in the photoshoot, taken for Elle magazine’s subscriber cover in the U.S. But the 35-year-old has revealed that she is insecure and that her shyness is the reason for her near-constant pout. She said: ‘People think I’m a moody bitch. I do have my insecurities. Maybe that is why I look a little bit serious. The kind of person who’s going to stand on the red carpet and love the attention and have the big grin – I’m just not like that. I want to get in there, do what I’ve got to do, and get home to my kids.’ The mother-of-three, speaking to Elle, said that her relationship with husband of 10 years David was as strong as ever. ‘David and I have a working relationship together, and we also have a private life together. Someone used the example recently of Brad and Angelina. They might be in a movie together, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to let someone film them at home. I don’t do “at homes” with my family. I don’t march my kids down red carpets. It’s just not how we choose to do things.’ Despite her recently appearing as a guest judge on American Idol, she said reports that she wants an acting career are ‘rubbish’. ‘I know my boundaries – I know what I am good at and what I’m not good at.’ She also appears on the general on-sale cover, posing in a grey and yellow dress and carrying a silver box clutch. The photoshoot and interview are well-timed. Although celebrities including Elle Macpherson, Mel B and Katherine Jenkins have been snapping up her dresses, Victoria’s denim line has been dropped by another US retailer. According to reports, the dVb brand was dumped by high-end Los Angeles boutique Maxfield. ‘Maxfield no longer carries dVb,’ a source told a US newspaper, who cited ‘poor sales’ as the reason. The line was previously dropped by Kitson, Saks and Bendels.
OUCH! Tough (but not at all surprising) news about her dropped denim line but I suspect that her finances will be just fine. After the jump, check out the alternate Elle magazine cover, the one you will find on newsstands if you are not a regular subscriber …
Of the two, I vastly prefer the first (subscriber) cover over the second (newsstand) cover. VB is such a life-sized Barbie doll … it’s hard to see her as anything other than a big robot … but the woman is fierce, I’ll give her that. I can’t wait to see what the rest of her Elle photospread looks like.

People see her as a moody bitch but if you watch her on shows or interviews she actually comes accross quite funny and friendly.
Even back in the Spice Girls days she never smiled but if you watch the Spice Girls Movie, she was one of the funniest ones. She had so much spunk..
Anyways, I love Posh. I think she is Fab!

where the hell is her left arm in the frist photo

I think she just doesn’t like her smile, based on a few things she’s said here and there.

I’m with Jenn — the missing left arm thing is creepy and weird. Did someone photoshop it out of the pic? Much sexier than pic 2 though (although I LOVE the reflection of the purse on her face).

She has never really bugged me, I think she may just be shy :) But anyways for the first photo thing, I think her arm is suppose to be on the other side of the diving board(or whatever she is on)

I like it missing limb and all. lol
The UK tabs just love to hate on her. Her jeans line was dropped ages ago before she launched the dress collection, which is selling out in stores like Bergdorf Goodman btw.

love the first cover

I actually prefer the second cover even though her shirt looks like Mickey Mouse’s head shape. Can you see the ears? Her boobs don’t help either. The first reminds me of Cruella Deville but chic.

her face looks great but her breasts look like giant saucers.

The boobies in the second cover bother me. Otherwise, the photo looks great.
