Posh not living the America dream…yet

Victoria Beckham isn’t receiving the warm LA welcome she had hoped. After being in the states for over three months, her star isn’t shining as bright as her signature oversized sunglasses may suggest.

Americans, tired of making fun of her TV show and her book, “That Extra Half an Inch” released in America on August 17, are now making fun of her hats. Turning to her for fashion advice would be like trusting a skinny chef to cater your wedding, or hiring a babysitter with a criminal license to watch your kids after school. When dressed like a limo chauffer, its no surprise the public is more apt to ask her not for fashion advice, but rather for a ride.

Her NBC reality show, “Coming to America” which aired on July 16th was cut from a 6-show series to a 1 hour special due to low ratings, and even lower reviews. The New York Post called the show “an orgy of self-indulgence” and described Beckham herself as “vapid and condescending”. And when The Post calls you vapid and condescending, that’s really saying something. Then again, she’s quoted in the UK’s The Guardian telling a Spanish fashion magazine Chic she never reads books. So maybe vapid is the perfect word.

“I haven’t read a book in my life,” Beckham confesses “I don’t have the time.”

In what has to be an effort to disguise her self-promotion with seemingly cute self-depreciating comments, people still seem to find her still more diva than down-to-earth. Some say she’s dumb. Others say she’s desperate and fame hungry. I say she’s just hungry. The woman looks as though she hasn’t eaten in five days. Maybe six. If I don’t eat every four hours, I turn into a heinous bitch. Posh doesn’t need any more accessories or ugly hats. She just needs a sandwich.
