mea culpa

so, last post i compared her to a piece of furniture, perhaps a little mean of me. but, i watched the victoria beckham special on nbc last night, and i gotta say, what a smart move by her handlers. she hasn't won me over completely, but i've done a 140 on my opinion of her. posh was very funny, she actually smiled (though she didn't eat), and she seemed to be a real person. of course, much of it was staged for the "reality" show, so i'm sure she knew to be on her best behavior, but some of the things she said were absolutely hilarious. when confronted by crazy, denying-their-true-age-with-botox ladies, she goes - there's only one way to deal with this, get more drunk. so true. she questioned why young hollywood girls want to go underwearless - so true. and she made repeated fun of herself, self-deprecation, so true. she spoke often, and fondly, of "david and the boys" and overall, just seemed like she's much more confident, witty & self-aware than i had ever thought. she's still high-maintenance, but then again, i suppose when you get to that level of double celebrity, it's hard to avoid the trappings of fame. oh, and i totally want to adopt her catchphrase - everything is "MAY-JUH"
