Victoria Beckham OBE

RandallFlagg

For services to fashion. Well deserved.

Would this be a music forum criticising one of the most successful female pop stars of all time ...??

Everyone has a skeleton in their closet.

But David Beckham takes his out in public.

Services to pointing.

That's all she ever did

RobDavies

Yeah! Fuck the Beckham family and the multi millions they've raised for charity.   Fuck 'em!

Whoaa - he only said he'd do Victoria.  Nobody suggested the entire family.

She's also done a lot for charity as @RobDavies eloquently points out .. :-)

They're both smarter than a lot of people - myself included - have given them credit for. It takes more than a strong right leg and an embarrassing pop career to get as big as they've become. 

Wasn't she a UN ambassador for women's rights or something?

Unpleasantly crass phrase.

Quite easy when you're a billionaire. Not like she has to do the housework, or, well, anything. At all.

 I'm more impressed by people who have very little, yet still manage to do voluntary work, etc.

Also, she got the gong for services to fashion, not charity. I see anyone like that as getting an award for services to making themselves rich. Yay, well done, greedy bastard.

A good lawyer and financial advisor for a start

Agreed. Her charity work would have helped but I can't see how selecting 600 items from her personal wardrobe and selling them to help the Mothers2mothers charity really qualifies. I'd be more impressed if she spent cold nights on the streets helping and feeding the homeless. The honours system should reward ordinary people.

From the Telegraph:

News of Beckham's accolade was released earlier this week by the Daily Mail, with the singer reportedly telling her family over Christmas. The designer and former Spice Girl is set to be honoured for her contributions to fashion and charity work and is said to be "delighted and humbled for the recognition."

D'you think she'd do my chimney? It's leaking again.

Services to fashion my arse. She's employed a design team and picks the items she likes.

I can't remember seeing any evidence of any talent other than choreographed dancing

Just because she isn't doing the designing doesn't mean she isn't working in fashion.

They didn't go far enough - lord and lady Becks far more appropriate - epitome of take your skill work like stink, do some good stuff on the way. What's not to admire about them.   Far better than some stuffed shirt civil Sevant on a final salary pension who has just done his job.
