Whatever else is going on in the world, it is good to know we can always rely on Victoria Beckham.

As the country struggles under a cloud of depression and worry, I think our celebrities have a duty to keep our spirits up, to entertain us.

And here’s Posh doing just that – what she does best. As in, walking from a car into an airport wearing a ludicrous, but amazing outfit.

For this woman, getting dressed is an art form and the results never fail to make me smile.

Recently I berated certain celebs for flaunting their wealth in our skint faces. Posh is the exception.

I know she’s not affected by the credit crunch, and the very last thing I want to see is her in an outfit from Matalan, with a Dorothy Perkins bag.

I’ll never afford a £2,000 Valentino tote bag – or to pull it off even if I could – but I don’t begrudge VB hers.

I’d rather she spent her cash on silly, amazing things like that than something boring like a car. Just think how long this outfit took to put together – the only thing missing is matching grey lipstick.

I take my hat off to her, and fervently hope she doesn’t return the gesture. This is exactly what I want from my celebs at the moment, fun, eccentricity and a bit of ridiculousness.

Look and learn, Ashley, look and learn.[/lang_en]
