The other night, NBC aired a special on Victoria Beckham's arrival in LA and her preparations for the arrival of the rest of her family. This was to put it mildly, illuminating. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry, as Posh Spice insisted that she was a normal person with a sense of humor, whilst at the same time acting like someone hopelessly out of touch with reality.
The funniest section was her visit to the local DMV after a fairly disastrous driving practise trip where she got pulled over by a motorcycle cop and confessed she didn't know whether to pose or be arrested. At DMV she first took the written knowledge test and was clearly cheating as she not only asked her entourage for some answers, but also had others on little bits of folded paper. Miraculously (!) she passed and somehow managed to avoid the practical test (she had a Spanish license, so why did I, with a UK license, have to do the practical when she didn't??).
When it came to being issued her license, they asked for a specimen signature. She asked who it should be made out to (thinking she was writing an autograph!). Next she needed her hairstylist and make-up artist to ready her for the license photo, for which she mugged outrageously. Next she wanted to see and approve the pic (and even asked if it could be touched up), to the obvious chagrin of the clearly bemused DMV staff. What a circus!
If all that nonsense wasn't enough, it emerged today that the show, which was panned mercilessly by the critics, was in some ways fake!
Victoria was seen interviewing and hiring a PA, but this, it seems, was an actress playing the part. Why!! Why?? oh please why??
You know, there are times when I'm ashamed to be British!
