VB is everything! She is so poised and chic.

From Southern California I must say I am so impressed with how open and nice the mysterious Victoria Beckham is. What a. pleasure. She is great. I agree about missing going shopping.....I have lived in one of the most beautiful cities in Southern California and the most famous streets, and I miss it so very much....the energy of it all. We have the most beautiful shopping centers as well that are filled with nice restaurants and lots of shops, it’s just a lot o have missed. Since the lockdown health issues have arisen so it’s been a pretty sad year. Thanks to Victoria for sounding so positive.....and real...I shall now investigate her line......she is very impressive, focused, dedicated and surprisingly open...

why does she keep interrupting Victoria

[@seasasik8982]

With VB's sense of humor intact, she would have asked the interviewer "My table actually does not hear nor speak. Do you mind asking me the questions instead, and leave that poor thing alone??"

I think the interviewer is bit rude, constantly interrupting Victoria.

Is working from home a novelty? I've been doing it either partially, or fully, since 2013. Obviously, not all work can be done remotely - things like construction, manufacturing, nursing, emergency services etc. but where work can be done remotely (technology, consultancy, financial services etc.) not only can it be done successfully, I'm fairly sure it's significantly more efficient too. I've thought about this idea since 2017, not just since the lockdowns, so I'm not just jumping on some kind of remote-working 'bandwagon' - maybe its value has become more apparent and utilised during the pandemic but the value has always been there, and is far from reaching its potential . I believe the most developed economies and successful businesses going forwards, will be the ones that best adapt to 'hybrid' ways of working... btw it's not a tribalistic scenario - you don't have to pick a side of remote work versus non-remote working - what is the disadvantage of an economy that offers a large number of both types of opportunity though? More remote working opportunities would just mean more options and more flexibility, which you never know when you might benefit from making use of, even if you prefer office-working.

I grew up on Spice Girls but I have never been a huge fan of Victoria, probably as most of of the band's fans although her bob haircut and outfits have been a great inspiration over the past few years. But now I must admit I rediscovered her recently. She turned out to be cheerful, friendly and funny. Now with the fashion brand she proves to be a passionate, hard working and talented business woman. Her and David's money and fame definitely made things way easier at the start but if she didn't have the personality this wouldn't work out. She's been on the market for a decade and it means something.
Btw, I don't like the journalist interrupting style of intervewing. She happens to push her guest to the background. Not nice.

[@Naturemanuk]

Says it all your related to Del Boy David Cameron! Tell him he has a lot of making up to do

[@rudolfx1070]

George Osborne is Vladimir Putin, both born in 1852. What did Russia celebrate yesterday?

[@michaelmonsanto692]

A Power House !!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT !!!!!! Any fool could lose £46m of her husbands money. Any fool. She is totally in the clouds.

[@tiamatmichellehart6821]

Regarding the Likes versus Dislikes? Why all the hate on Victoria?

[@ireallydontthinkso]

Probably because she is a stuck up shallow kardashian type. No talent just lucky.
