[lang_es][/lang_es][lang_en]With a new fashion line and a houseful of boys, Victoria Beckham has mastered her balancing act

By Laura Brown

They say that to really understand somebody, you need to walk a mile in her shoes. But what if you can’t actually stand in her shoes? Such is the case with a pair of thigh-high PVC Antonio Berardi boots Victoria Beckham recently wore to a Macy’s appearance with her husband, David, in New York. It wasn’t that the heels were formidable; the boots had no heels at all. Victoria struck her patented pose for the assembled photographers while gamely perched on the balls of her feet.

“Oh, c’mon, they’re not that hard to walk in,” she admonishes as I masochistically try them on (after a bemused-looking housekeeper fetches them from Victoria’s closet). “They’re not uncomfortable! You have to go to a sex shop to get this spray to polish them.” Did she go buy it personally? “Oh. No …”[/lang_en] (more…)

[lang_en]Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has said she now feels more comfortable being photographed.

Victoria Beckham has told Harper’s Bazaar magazine she now feels so comfortable being photographed she’s even able to muster a smile. “I used to get so nervous, and when I got on the red carpet I’d freeze up. I have started smiling. I’ve mastered this smirk. It’s a smile that isn’t a smile,” she explained.

“The older you get, the more comfortable you become with yourself, and you accept what you have physically. Also, the fact that my [fashion] business is doing very well makes me feel a little more confident, too.”[/lang_en]

[lang_en]Victoria Beckham graces the January 2009 cover of Harper’s Bazaar, which hits newsstand on December 16th. Here are some great interview highlights:

On always being in high heels: “Oh, c’mon, they’re not that hard to walk in…They’re not uncomfortable! You have to go to a sex shop to get this spray to polish them.”

On whether she personally went to the sex shop to buy the polish: “Oh. No…”

On her success in the fashion world: “I really had to prove myself, though…But now I feel like I am competing in an arena where I belong.”

On occasionally letting herself go: “I run around the house in a tracksuit sometimes!…If I go to the supermarket looking like s—, that affects my work. I am selling an image. Plus, I have fun with it.”

On her image: “I have started smiling…I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile.”

On her previous performance anxiety: “I used to get so nervous, and when I got on the red carpet, I’d freeze up. I’ve had so many things said about me over the years, like a public bullying.”

On not being nervous anymore: “The older you get, the more comfortable you become with yourself, and you accept what you have physically. Also, the fact that my business is doing very well…makes me feel a little more confident, too.”[/lang_en]

[lang_en]Posh Spice has revealed that she follows a simple exercise, dress, and makeup routine that turns her into ‘Victoria Beckham’.

For the mum of three, looking good is an important aspect of her life, and she makes sure that she is seen at her best whenever she goes out, though she admits while at home she does not mind dressing down.

“It’s funny. I go to the gym now,” People magazine quoted her as telling January’s Harper’s Bazaar, which goes on sale December 16.

“I run four miles a day. Then I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into ‘Victoria Beckham’.

“I’ll try on all my dresses, and I’ll pick out a handbag, and I’ll put on the shades. I instantly turn into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it … But it’s a true character because it’s still me,” she said.

While in the house away from the paparazzi, Beckham, 34, does not really bother with her looks.

“I run around the house in a tracksuit sometimes,” she stated.

Posh even admits that she has started lightening up after she was put down for her patented pout, dubbed as the “Blue Steel” look.

“I have started smiling … I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile,” she added.[/lang_en]

[lang_en]Victoria Beckham says she and her famous BFFs – Katie Holmes, Eva Longoria Parker and Kate Beckinsale – love to joke about crazy pregnancy rumors.

“You get a little water retention; it’s not news,” Beckham, 34, says in the January issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “Me, Katie, Eva and Kate always joke about how one of us is allegedly pregnant, but no, we’re just a little bloated today! None of us is pregnant.”

But that doesn’t mean Beckham wouldn’t like to have more kids. Already mom to three boys – Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6 and Cruz, 3 – she says she’s ready for a daughter.

“I’m such a girl’s girl,” she says. “I walk into my closet and go, ‘Crikey!’ To one day hand that down to another girl….”

She also opens up about her “very disciplined” diet.

“It’s funny; I go to the gym now,” she says. “I run four miles a day.”

Before events, “I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into ‘Victoria Beckham.’ I’ll try on all my dresses, and I’ll pick out a handbag, and I’ll put on shades. I instantly turn into into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it…But it’s a true character because it’s still me.”

She dolls herself up anytime she leaves the house.

“If I go to the supermarket looking like s–t, that affects my work. I am selling an image,” she says. “Plus, I have fun with it.”

She adds that she is learning not to have a scowl on her face all the time.

“I have started smiling,” she says. “I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile.” (She looks angry sometimes, she explains, because she’s “had so many things said about me over the years, like a public bullying.”)

Meanwhile, she says her nine-year marriage to David Beckham is going well.

“We’ve had a lot of ups and downs,” she admits. “I love him more now than when I first met him.

“Back then, there was a certain innocence,” she says. “I look back and think if only I knew then what I know now. I’ve toughened up a lot.”[/lang_en]
