Victoria Beckham: UK Vogue April 2008

 

The Posh one graces UK’s Vogue April 2008 cover, and while this isn’t a USVogue cover, it’s still a pretty big deal in the fashion world. It means there is enough interest in her to sell the Vogue name, and push magazines; considering she used to be the most hated woman in Britain, this says alot for her status in the UK now. Who knew “Coming to America” would mean she would dominate the UK? (erm, fashion-wise, that is).

Now, let’s break down the cover. I am disappointed in the shot they used, and you would think VB would be as well. (“All this thinness, and you would THINK Vogue of all publications would appreciate it!”)  It’s a “fashion magazine” yet, we see no fashion? No clothing? To me, it looks more like a diamond advert, or possibly an advertisement for “CoverGirl Lipslicks”.  A Vogue cover shot? Really?

**UPDATE** Here is a shot from the innards of the mag. Urgh. I am losing hope. The dress… the hair… the outdated long painted nails? This is not“May-ja!”.

The full editorial can be found here. The interview is an awesome read, balancing the perfect combination of professional, and personal tidbits… but, I’m still not 100% sold on the photos. They don’t quite hit the vibe I think the mag was going for.

Behind the scenes:

Posh: Pure Perfection

The SPICE GIRLS concert. Vancouver. December 2nd. The day all my dreams came true. Mostly just because I finally was able to see Victoria Beckham in the flesh (oh, and those other chicks)… and man oh man, let me tell you, she is hotter in person than in any picture. The fiercest creature from every angle. She posed, she pointed and she strutted. I could not take my eyes off her, and found it difficult to pay attention to the other 4. To me, they were just back up dancers with kitschy names of Ginger, Baby, Sporty and Scary.

The show itself was the most amazing spectacle I have ever witnessed, and, I must admit, caused me to break into the “ugly cry” more than once. The girls were pure performance perfection, and while there was a hint of the lipsync, I’ll turn a blind eye.

Below are a few of the pictures from the show (notice the overkill on VB shots… how could you ever get enough of her?)
