When Victoria Beckham’s kids asked her what she does all day she put the Spice Girls movie into the VCR, because she figured the WAG concept was just too hard to explain. Her kids loved the film so much that they watched it over and over. When her four year old son, Romeo, asked her if she had been out with the Spice Girls one day she didn’t have the heart to tell him that she was just shopping for a living, so answered “yes”:

She revealed in an interview with Britain’s Radio 1: “I showed the kids ‘Spice Girls: The Movie’ the other day, because being in Spain it’s all about football and all about daddy, and the kids said, ‘Mummy what did you actually do?’

“So I put on the movie, and they loved it and it was on heavy rotation. Then one day I had been out to work and when I came home Romeo came running up to me and said, ‘Mummy, have you been working with the Spice Girls?’

And I couldn’t let him down, so I said, ‘Yeah, mummy has been working with the Spice Girls’. And he said, ‘Have you been driving that bus mummy?'”

I had the pleasure of seeing Spice World in High Def about two years ago when my sattelite network Voom, which has since gone belly up, put it on heavy rotation. (They did have a lot of fabulous HD original content too, but their filler was basically cardboard.) I can see how it would be entertaining to a toddler, and it’s a bit less intellectually demanding than the average showed aimed at 3-6 year olds. Dora The Explorer has to visit three locations sequentially in a half an hour, but the Spice Girls just have to get to one concert gig and they have an hour and a half to do it.

That’s sweet and kind of disturbing that Victoria’s son thinks she runs around in little outfits getting in silly capers with a group of ditsy women, pausing for musical numbers. That’s not entirely untrue. I tell my kid all sorts of white lies, so I can hardly blame her. (“Yes, Daddy is coming home in a minute. Look – there’s a firetruck!”)

Unfortunately Posh might never be able to perform with the Spice Girls again. She said a reunion was unlikely now that all the former members are doing their own thing. Scary is several months pregnant with Eddie Murphy’s baby, so that would put a wrench in their plans too. They’ll always have Spice World.
