I’m not being fair about this. This is a picture of Victoria Beckham from September, during which time I can only guess she was still knee-deep into all kinds of fake tans. She looks like a very bony Cheeto. Which she would take a compliment. Anyway, in the new December Allure Magazine, Victoria is interviewed about… her life? I guess. I’m not sure what she’s promoting. Maybe her clothing line. Maybe her new fragrance “Beckham”. Hand to God, David and Victoria named their dual his and hers perfume/cologne “Beckham”. I would have gone for “Goldenballs… for her”. Anyway, that’s not the point. Victoria claims that “anymore”. Which maybe she just stopped fake tanning just at that moment, because into September and October, she was still hazard-orange.

Victoria Beckham is fully aware of who she spends her nights with. When Allure asked the star, 35, if she preferred sleep over sex, she opted for the latter.

“I’m getting into bed with David Beckham every night, so, you know, there’d be something wrong if I said, ‘sleep.'”

She isn’t the only lucky one.

“I tend to wear nothing [to bed],” she tells the December issue of Allure. “But David bought me these little sets from Agent Provocateur, his favorite store.”

And if given the choice of salads or fries, she admits she always goes green.

“I’m not going to lie — I’m not one of those people that says, ‘Oh, I eat hamburgers.'”

And as for her oft-criticized skin tone? It’s all natural, she says.

“I don’t self-tan anymore,” she says. “It’s frustrating when people criticize my color. It’s the color that I am! I wear sunblock, but I live in a hot climate.”

The former Spice Girl, however, doesn’t get upset if you call her Posh.

“I’m so respectful of the Spice Girls, and I love all the girls dearly, but it’s nice now that people know my name,” she says. “But either is a compliment. I mean, I’ve been called a lot worse.”

“It’s frustrating when people criticize my color. It’s the color that I am! I wear sunblock, but I live in a hot climate.” Hahaha… “it’s the color that I am!” No, honey. That particular color orange is not found in nature. Do you get the feeling that Victoria is right on the verge of calling us “racists” because we mock her orange skin? Here’s something else – I totally think Lainey is right about Posh trying to tone down her crazy WAG persona to attempt to woo Anna Wintour at Vogue Magazine. Posh wants to be accepted. She wants us to recognize her as a pioneer. An orange pioneer.
