Wow. if the theme of the ad was posable scarecrow, they nailed it on the head.
She's Posh, not Scary, not?
Sorry but she should be known as Sourpuss Spice. She's OUT!!!
----StkrShock
What the hell is on her head in that ad? I know fashion is art but shouldn't there at least be a point?
Did she go through a roasting process to prepare for this ad?
LOL. LOVE. HER. I want to be her BFF!!!
"tlo said: That is scary."
Seriously.
But what is with that hairdoo? Is it an homage to Moe Howard? (If I was Bill, I'd post a picture link here, but I can't figure out how.)
And look at her hands. It's my theory that gloves will finally make a comeback for this very reason: You can get pulled and tucked and botoxed, but the hands don't lie.
And funny that the photo illustrates the fact that handbags have gotten so damn big and heavy that it takes both hands to hoist them up.

The first look is hot and the boots are to die for. She's definitely IN.
The ad is just Marc Jacobs being Marc Jacobs. I give her credit for playing along with the whole thing.
Are P & P (Posh & Princess) the same height? She looks little.
#1: IN.
#2: OUT. She's wearing a shapeless beige sack dress and a pink bra? And what's with the bizarre tape draped around her neck and shoulders?
Well, um, I don't like the first look 100%. There are black patches on her elbows. Black is such a dominating color to me and not an accent. I think the boots in black would have been a 'fiercer' look. The second ad might have been an attempt at humor. The bag looks like it just came out of a trunk after she spent $500 dollars on a fake Marc Jacobs purse.
--Frances Spencer
At first I was shocked by just all out ugliness of her hair, look and skin paint, and then my eyes were drawn to here tiny taught arms and cantoupe bustline framing what, in my opinion, is a remarkably ugly bag. Now I can't stop looking at that horrible bag. So, I give the art director an A for encouraging the viewers eye movement and an F for everything else.
I love the new Mika bag. I want it!!! It's only $1,795.
Sorry, reference point required.
Context: I was talking about the picture in the last ad. HI everyone from super sunny Florida. It's a great Friday evening here.
She looks more and more like a space alien these days. And she doesn't look healthy-skinny; she looks scary-skinny.
Oh, and BTW,
I'll just throw this in for kicks...even though TLo may through it out because they don't want their blog to be a party...but
has everyone heard Donna Summer's new song...I'm a Fire...the new album, the first studio album in like 15 years, is supposed to be the comeback of the year. Can't wait.
well, there are so many things to say about the Marc Jacobs ad. The hair's an obvious choice. But- what's with squashing the girls up into her chin?
I love MJ bags but that one is fugly. I hate the exaggerated chain links.
I really like the first outfit, but gosh, she needs to eat a burger.
I like the jacket/jeans/boots outfit (except for those patches on the elbows of the jacket - what is she, an absent-minded professor?), but what the hell is going on in that ad?
I wish these celebs would lay off the fake tanning. It's getting ridiculous.
No wonder Christian won, this woman is NUTS!
Both looks are OUT for me. The first one just amplifies her emaciated figure, and I never did like those darting shoulders on Jillian's outfits, and I don't like them here either. She looks like an anime rendering of the Lady of an English Manor.
As for the second look...skip it. It's too easy.
Except to say, nice bag. How much did Angela charge for it?
IN and IN
She looks fabulous in the first two pictures and in the last picture she's having a good time. You can never go wrong with that. :)
So what do you get when you cross Moe Howard with a scrawny rotisserie chicken? Bing! Mrs. Beckham! In the bag ad, her right arm is actually the same color as the cooked chickens in my local market... should we rename her Paprika Spice?
Black gloves and elbow patches with brown boots? OUT
Scary pinched face with tanorexic body and my grandmother's fave handbag? OUT
Wow, that bottom pic is too scary even for Fabulon!
Liked the first look (except for those awful elbow patches) but it isn't anything that hasn't been done and seen a million times. The jacket is nothing new, the jeans are just tight jeans, and the boots are nice, but lots of boots look like that.
The Marc Jacobs ad is just a freak show, which seems appropriate given the designer and his muse.
While the elbow patches are a bit much, the jacket would have been really boring without them. And the boots are perfect... if you want them in black, why don't you just also hand her a whip to beat the store clerks with? Oh wait, she probably keeps the whip in the Marc Jacobs bag.
Eh. Fake fierce.
Uh. . . who is Moe Howard??
"She looks more and more like a space alien these days."
My thought, exactly. What is with the giant head?
But why do her boots not match her gloves. And her elbow patches. I thought this was some kind of rule. They don't go with the rest of the jacket *that* well. :(
Re: the second look. Put a white wig on her and she looks like Andy Warhol.
Thank god for google...i had no idea who moe howard was, but of course, the three stooges. lol.
The boots are fierce combined with the whole equestrian look, very fierce, and she's working it. I also like the ad as a new concept for a ad campaign but I'm not crazy about her outfit or expression.
She pushes the envelope and I LOVE that about her.
IN and OUCH.
"Nancy (nanflan) said...
Re: the second look. Put a white wig on her and she looks like Andy Warhol."
HA! She does!
The bag looks like a giant prune. Hideous! I wouldn't pay $20 for that.
"Uh. . . who is Moe Howard??"
Moe, from the 3 Stooges. He was afflicted with the same bowl cut hairdoo.
Though, I suppose it could have been worse: They could have styled her like Larry or Curly.
--GothamTomato
Pose #2, She does enjoy sitting that way too much, n'est pas?
Pose #3 Wow, now I know why she always poses looking off to the side; shot straight on, you can see that she's really nothing special.
Reen31
She's a spine with a wig. Eat a sandwich!
The first look, as others have commented, nothing we haven't seen before. A nice look, but not fresh. The second is just one of art is fashion, fashion is art attempts in my opinion.
But it's hard to really just judge the clothes because of how poorly she looks. Those are some serious bags under her eyes in that second pic and in the last one her upper-arms and shoulders look like...well, nothing really flattering comes to mind.

GT - I would pay cash money to see her 'styled' like Curly; buzzed to the scalp.
Woop woop woop woop!
Nyuk, nyuk...
Posh looks like she is being robbed and is handing over her purse. Or maybe because the purse stinks so bad and she doesn't want it near her.
*sobbing*
I promise to be good....please don't make me look at any more pics like that...
Get me a whip and a horsey, little lady!
Well, who could blame her for this get-up? That's all Marc Jacobs' fault, that one.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I think this sums up this ad quite nicely.
Is she a little cross-eyed in the bottom picture?
I don't envy her.
Is there something wrong with her teeth? Doesn't she ever smile?
I can understand there might be appeal in a model who looks regal and serious, but who would want to buy anything from someone who looks angry?
The caption for any of these pics--even the ones where she looks good--is: "You can have these clothes when you strip them off my cold, dead body."
She has the same look on her face in every shot I've ever seen. Those face muscles of her are just frozen.
For both, I say Out.
Good thing she married David Beckham or she'd be just a spice girl until she's 60.
I love thin, don't get me wrong. But Posh is downright sharp you know? There's nothing soft, girly, or appealing about her. Even her hair looks sharp! Would she break if you put your arm around her?
Just today I was reading Jay's latest entry in his Elle blog. He commented that she has a tiny, tiny head. If that's true then her body must be microscopic.
Is she laying down???? Her boobs are seriously OUT THERE. If she weren't so friggin cut, it looks like she could have some pit tit action going on.
that second look reminds me of Bia Ling
I think she must have asked the duchess where he tans. And made about 30 trips there too much.
I think it was Simon Doonan who coined the term "Apple Head Doll" for these little fashionistas with their skinny bodies & big heads.
-- desertwind
She's orange. And she appears to have inherited Sarah Jessica Parker's granny hands.
No matter what she does, Posh is always out! That look of desperation doesn't go well with anything. I wish she'd stop trying so hard. And also it looks like she has some serious work done, her whole face look so plasticky, or should the word be polyesther-y? You know how we hate the p word.
Somebody please force feed her. Obviously that grape she ate this week wore off.
hello, i'm patsy stone said...
"I think she must have asked the duchess where he tans."
And the answer to that question would be "Earl Scheib."
chgo_john
She's as orange as a traffic cone. Ick.
~Squidfingers
Try to guess how many California Raisins died to make the bag??
I know they were trying to go for something really hard abd edgy, but I don't quite think that they succeeded. The MJ handbag ad is just weird & off. Perhaps on another model it may have worked, but there are too many negative associations to be made about Posh to make the ad really cool, sexy, disturbing (in that good way) or even memorable for that matter.
Ugh, I know outfit one ought to work, but there's something so forced about this woman that she screams fashion victim even when she's done it right.
That really bad boob job doesn't help. It's not the bra, kids, that's what bad plastic surgery does to you.
for the 2nd look Posh should be renamed Scary Spice...
Orange really isn't the most attractive color on most people--especially on the skin.
Whats scary is her body. A pencil with 2 oranges hot glued on top.
Those were elbow patches? I thought she was wearing knee pads for roller derby players! Where's the sense of proportion?
Liked the boots. Liked the jacket. Liked the jeans. Nothing special though.
Hope Laurie
oh dear god it's a handbag, not a steering wheel.
First look, no so bad, but in the ad she looks hideous, everything including the bag in this shot is gross.
I am sorry. What she wears is irrelevant.
She still looks like a surgically botched tranny job with severe case of anorexia.
And she still is the Queen of all Chavs.
That's all.
Love,
Milla
Out. Waaaaaaay out
I don't care if you're wearing pants, CLOSE THE BARN DOOR!!! Jesus, my mother just rolled over in her grave.
Okay, ignoring the ugly styling for a moment, why is the Queen of the Chavs (thanks Milla!) holding Wilma Flintstone's pocketbook?
Are her bangs hair or feathers? eeewwwww --
Not to mention, she has that "rode hard and put away wet" look in that ad.
But the first one is pretty hot.
The first pic---can someone get her to talk to the lovely Simpson sisters about how to make boots with jeans work?
she's just really ugly. She looks like a skeleton. And she needs to learn how to sit like a lady, not a whore! eww on both photos and the ad for jacobs -- fire the art director!!
I'm visually reminded of Ms. Swan from MadTV, and not to mention that she look-a-like-a man!
I like the first look. The gloves are a bit much, but love the boots.
The second look -- I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that Marc Jacobs and his advertising team are responsible. But Victoria routinely dresses this badly, so it's hard to give her a pass. I'm trying to be kind, though.
The bag? Is hideous.
I am one of the few people who actually likes VB. I think the first is def. in. She looks great. Understated yet fierce (!). But I don't understand the second. why would they do that to her? How does that help sell that (already quite hideous)bag?
oh I think she's wretched... so plastic... she's had so much botox she appears stretched and frozen into place. In a few years she'll add the trout lips, then she'll be fierce... fiercely FRIGHTENING!!!
She looks good in the first two pictures but she also looks tired and a little old. I'm not going to lie.
bravo did a special last year about her coming to america. and she was very pleasant in it - funny (she laughed! she made jokes) and seemed likeable. But she's chosen this frozen, cold, unsmiling persona and i don't think it's flattering. she's a very pretty woman, especially when she smiles.
her ARMS in the MJ ad are terrifying. They look like they are made out of something very scary and artificial. No more fake tan! and honey - a little weight added to the scary arms, hands and neck will make you look younger. Now, she's rockin the old-lady scrawny-chicken neck/arms/hands.

She already has that Joan Rivers/Mary Tyler Moore look about her, and she is quite a bit younger than those two. ...I wonder where her ears are..
I do like the longer bob on her in the Toronto picutures. It softens up her look.
Yah - scary beyond all reason. Yikes!
Love the boots -anyone know whose they are?
i thought she was POSH spice,
not SCARY spice.
i thought she was POSH spice,
not SCARY spice.
the first outfit is cute, but the bitch looks haggard
Could she weigh any less?
Scary? It's downright terrifying! What has this woman done to her face? She looks like she's an eighty year old whose had about seventeen facelifts! So effin' fake!
Recently, we were asked whether Nina, SJP, & VW were in or out. Much of the discussion involved whether each was dressed appropriately for her age. And then there's this last pic of Posh. I don't wish to offend anyone but, to me, her body is inappropriate. The woman has had 3 children. By most accounts she is a good mother, a lovely person, and has a husband who adores her. This isn't enough? Goodness knows what she's had to endure to "achieve" this body. And for what? Some (presumably) free dresses and the opportunity to have Marc Jacobs turn her into what can only be described as "one hot mess".
I just don't get it.
chgo_john
Definitely out. And I'm talking Beckham not the clothes.
Does she ever smile?
Her skin is frightening me.
I loved her jacket because that basic look of tweedy/glen plaid-y jacket, jeans and boots is something I just love, but then I saw the elbow patches and what I think is a black belt-ish thing; don't hate it totally, but it detracted.
I can't say anything about the second ad except I wonder how that is supposed to sell handbags, it's so un-sexy, un-pretty.
Vicks look in that MJ ad is hideous. Everything is just off. Whoever said that she is Queen of Chavs has it right.
I love the boots and the first look. The second? Great ad. It’s off-putting, but compelling at the same time.
This is what Victoria said about the MJ ads:
“The images are humorous and ironic,” Beckham said. “You can’t be afraid to experiment with fashion, especially when working with Marc and Juergen — you have to push the envelope and show a different side.
“Truth be told, I love them all,” she said. “If I have to pick favorites, it’s the package series: me coming out of the box in the gray knit dress shot with the hat, as well as the image of the oversize shopping bag. Certainly, if you can’t get locked inside a Marc Jacobs store, then trapped inside a Marc bag has got to be the next best thing.”
I guess she's more than OK with it.
What in the world?????
1st - Nothing special, great boots.
2nd - WTF??????????
What is wrong with that woman?? How come she never smiles??
fierrrrrrrce, Victoria in Toronto!
Three words:
HOT.
TRANNY.
MESS.
I really don't like her face. And I think she's frighteningly skinny. I just don't like looking at her. Please make it stop.

A fool and their money are soon parted.
I was out of the country during the whole Spice Girl rage, so I'm a little unclear about a point that I'm hoping someone on this website can clarify.
Was Victoria Becham attractive at some point?
She has Man Hands.
Eh. Fake fierce.
Mos' def trying way too hard.
Becks, if you ever wake up in the middle of the night and are scared by the "woman" next to you, give me a call and I'll show you a real woman again!!
The first would an "in" if it wasn't on her. Very lady of the S&M manor. The second one isn't her fault and is only the stylist's so I don't blame her for their yuck.
She can not smile due to a genetic predisposition to be a sourpuss.
(With apologies to Mr. Wonka's collaborators)
What do you get from a glut of Posh Spice?
Oh well not much that is terribly nice
Why are her photos so stary and cold?
What will she look like when she
gets
old?
(I don't like the thought of it)
Oompa Loompa Doompity Da
When you are Spice then you can go far
You will live in Poshiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Poshity Doo
*Poshity Doo*
