Brand Beckham

I’m not normally one for reality TV shows, I detest big brother, the celebrity jungle one, these fly on the wall documentaries following around ‘celebrities’ which I’ve usually never heard of…but even I couldn’t resist watching Brand Beckham hitting the states.

More than a little intrigued by her next big PR stunt, I also saw some similarities between her situation and mine…We’re both in the process of moving-okay so I’m moving from Basford to Gamston, she’s going from Madrid to LA, but my boyfriend works away four days a week, and often travels abroad for rafting and kayaking competitions, which leaves me to deal with estate agents, mortgage advisors etc and worrying about things alone. It’s fair to say, that’s where the similarities end. To relieve her stress of moving, she went out and spent an absolute fortune shopping…I go for a run, because it’s free because the solicitors are about to claim ALL of my savings,

I think she came across really really badly last night. I don’t know if she was trying to be ironic and exaggerating all the so called ‘traits’ she tries so hard to deny, but she failed miserably. She came across as the self-centred, egotistical, dense failed pop-star-not the down to earth, mother and wife she says she is. I’m sure it was a bit of a stunt with her taking in the mickey out her ‘image’…but Vicky, it didn’t work love, stick to designing denims. If it wasn’t a stunt, then if I was her ‘fat friend’ PA I would have thrown that pie in her face!

And honestly VB, sunbathing with high heels on? Rather die than wear flat shoes? My feet are comfortably ensconced in ballet pumps-and I am really looking forward to going for an all you can eat carvery lunch today, which I’ll eat with a smile on my face!!
