Posh Smiles; In Other News, World Still Turning
Okay, I admit it. I've never heard a Spice Girls song, that I know of, and I had never heard Mad Posh speak until her NBC special earlier this year. That show didnt make me a fan, either...I understood her dry "British Humour" (and yes, I got that she was being facetious and self-depreciating to Perez when she said she could never be caught smiling or eating, and she had to look miserable), but I found her entire attitude towards everything condescending and trite. And let's face it...seeing her constantly pouting is just irksome. She's rich, thin, and relatively pretty, she has a loving husband and three beautiful children...what's to look so unhappy about?
But stop the presses....it seems that Victoria can actually (wait for it) smile. dun-dun-dunnnnnnnn
She appeared on a game show in Japan, Smap Smap (translation?) as part of promoting the upcoming Spice Girls reunion, and in the process relaxed her facial muscles and smiled for the camera.
You know, I like her smiling. She looks nice when she smiles...she looks calm, gracious, and like she's having fun. Like she took the stick out of her bum. Like she's warm and friendly. Like...a very pretty woman.
I like these photos...she doesn't have the Frankentits going, she doesn't have on some weird feathery leathery mess, the hair isn't all did...this is an excellent look for her, and she should consider looking like this more often. Even though they were being silly on the show, she seems to be taking it all in good humour, and that's a very important thing to remember in one's life, not to take oneself too seriously.
She really should consider smiling in public more often. She doesn't come across as "Posh Spice", the International Pout; she comes across as Victoria Beckham, wife, mom, daughter, yes a celebrity, but an attractive woman. It's amazing how one simple action can change one's entire look...she went from haughty to soft in one second.
Oh, and here's one for you...a few weeks ago, her husband, David Beckham, actually had her laughing! Could the more relaxed attitudes of the US be rubbing off on her?  This looks nice!
Remember, Victoria, a smile is your best fashion accessory.
