Posh, Victoria or VB
Whatever anyone may call thou,
To your killer cheekbones I humbly bow
I have known you since I was tiny
Dancing to ‘Wannabe’ and shaking my hiney
Dear Vic, beware of high heels
Cuz they cause fat bunions and callous
But of your stupendous life, I am truly jealous
And here’s a list of 5 reasons (in no particular order) why anyone should be envious of Victoria Beckham:
1. B**ch She Be Posh
They all may be Old Spice now, but in the 90s Spice Girls was ‘da sh*t’ for our lot. The girls released their first single, ‘Wannabe’, in July 1996 and went on to become one of the top 10 best-selling girl groups of all times. Agreed that Posh never did a lot of singing – hell, I don’t think a lot of us recognise her voice – but she will forever remain girl band royalty.
2. She Be Married To David Beckham
Ermahgerd! She is married to one of the hottest men on Earth. The former footballer was named as the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ by People Magazine in 2015 *wipe drool*. David and Victoria started dating in 1997 and married in 1999 after the birth of their first child, Brooklyn. The sexy combo has been under scanner since 2004, when reports of David’s infidelity surfaced, but it’s 2016 guys and they’re still going strong.
3. She Be Having The Most Beautiful Brood
One look at her children and it seems as if the whole family raided the good-looks gene pool. From Brooklyn and Romeo to Cruz and Harper, I don’t think anybody can ignore how the ‘force is strong with this one (family)’.
And Victoria is as proud as mums go. She posted this adorable video of her son, Cruz, who could well be the next singing sensation.
4. She Be A Fierce Fashion Designer
Victoria set up a label. Victoria took the runway by storm. Victoria went smiling to the bank. Despite having no formal training, she launched her first collection in September 2008. The front row fashionistas were dizzied by the colourful and classy collection. In the last 7 years, the label’s revenues have increased 30 fold. Nope, not joking!
5. She Be Super Funny Too
Now, Victoria is one tough cookie. You will never find her smiling and that is because she is, “smiling on the inside“. But that doesn’t stop Ms Beckham from being kooky. She recently posted this gem along with her friend Eva Longoria.
And then this. Stay cool and stay fly, VB.
