Victoria Beckham To Design A New Line Of Men’s Jeans

And jeans tight enough to show what religion you are need not apply:davidjeans.jpg

She said: “I think guys should wear jeans big and baggy, with a big pair of boots or flip-flops-exactly how you see David when he’s out in his jeans and T-shirt.

“Do not pull them up tight and have your bulge showing. Let it hang!”

The jeans will come out as part of Beckham’s dVb label. She told men’s fashion website DNR: “These are not skinny jeans. They are what I call proper men’s jeans.

“If you are a man that likes really skinny jeans, very fashiony, this isn’t really the line for you. I didn’t want anything too tight around the crotch.

“That really repulses me. It might be fashionable, but you are not going to get that from dVb.”

While she’s at it, she gets in a little dig at people who don’t do their fashionista homework:

Beckham, the creative director of the brand, went on: “I’ve used the best Japanese denim, and I think I’ve created a fit that is very flattering and very comfortable.

“I’m a complete control freak and I want everything to be perfect. I’m not doing a Britney Spears and just putting my name on something and saying, ‘Sell this perfume.’

Ooooh, burn.  I believe homegirl has a case of the OCD.  But she does have a point…if I had my name on something, I’d be sure to know everything about it before I ever let it go out with my signature.  People associate it with you.  I’d definitely want to make sure the product, be it jeans or perfume or microwave popcorn, was top-notch.  Unlike Curious.  So anyway:

The jeans, sourced in Asia and Morocco, will retail from $220 to $285 USD, she said. They are expected to be sol

Wait, what?  These are still jeans, right?  They don’t have diamonds or jewels embedded in them, correct?  They are denim, which is basically cotton twill, right?  They don’t come with motorized zippers or a pocket full of cash?

And people actually pay prices like this?  For jeans?

I think I’ve just met people who annoy me more than Mad Posh.

David Beckham Blows A Wad

Of cash, that is…reports are that Davey Boy is a big tipper when it comes to restaurant service that he likes.  For a tab of around $100, he left a $1000 tip while celebrating after a charity football soccer game with his teammates:

It was early November when a few boys from the LA Galaxy came to the Pub. They come in from time to time because the crowd at Joxer’s knows their football and nobody treats the boys too special. [...]

The team didn’t go party-crazy. The boys just had beer and pub snacks. David only drank mineral water. He’s much taller than I thought. Becks signed autographs for anyone who asked. [...] I asked for a picture and he had one of the players hold the camera! Can I just say he smelled so nice! Really! I hugged him so tight and he didn’t mind at all. Everyone was in good spirits.

When I gave them their tab, David snatched it away from his mates. They argued with him a bit but he just looked at them and told them to hush up. I know your website likes tipping stories so you’ll love this: The tab was about $100 and Becks had just added a zero to $1,000! - A $900 tip! I had to ask him if it was correct. He just said, “It is. Is Giggs still your favorite player?” “Not anymore!” On a day where the Galaxy played for charity, David really meant it! I know it’s not a windfall of cash but the tidy sum helped me fix my ailing car and get a cavity filled so it meant a lot to me. What a magical evening! Thank you, David!

Is this a common occurrence?

“David certainly tips well, usually because of good service,” said Beckham’s spokesman.

Now that’s what I’m talkinbout.

I know I’m hard on the Beckhams…I think Mad Posh is a bit too stuck on her own self-promotion and I’m not so sure Davey is all that bright (and sorry, I don’t think he’s the studly muffin most others seem to think he is), but I will say this about them…they do seem to be genuinely devoted to one another and to their childen, and if this story is true then that gets big props in my book.  Waiters and waitresses work hard, it’s only fair to give them their due, and more if the service was exceptional.  This certainly qualifies for a Breath Of Fresh Air Award!

(Mad Posh and RoboKatie, however, not so much.  Boo, hiss.)

Hey, David…if you ever make it to Alfredo’s in New York, leave a good tip and tell them GlossLip sent you!
