Victoria Beckham Not Taking Maternity Leave

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 06/10/2011 7:27 am Updated: 08/10/2011 5:12 am

Victoria Beckham plans to keep designing before, ostensibly during and right after the birth of her baby girl next month, Glamour UK reports.

The songstress-turned-designer joked with the glossy, "Maternity leave -- what's that? I've been working incredibly hard so I'm prepared for next season." She added, "My husband and children will always be my priority. But for me, what I do professionally doesn't feel like a job...It's my passion to make women look and feel beautiful and the highest compliment I can receive is when women enjoy what I'm doing."

On Tuesday, Beckham won Accessory Designer of the Year at British Glamour's Women of the Year, an honor she accepted via satellite. Earlier this year, her handbags created a fashion frenzy after they hit Net-A-Porter, one of the styles selling out in 60 seconds, and another gone within hours.

Beckham thanked both readers and her team on Twitter, writing, "Thank you to all the @GlamourMagUK readers!!" and, "Congratulations #victoriabeckham team!! We WON the Glamour Accessory Designer of the Year!!! Thank you so much all for your hard work! x vb"

According to the Daily Mail, Beckham, her husband David, their three sons and soon-to-be daughter may or may not be moving back to London come late summer.

I wish I could tell you I've worn her clothes, but have not yet. . She should design a line called Dorian. (ala Dorian Gray.)

Wealth doesn't create jobs. Jobs create wealth.

For the life me, I can't understand how a parent wouldn't WANT to spend a few months with their newborn. Then again, if that's the way she feels, the baby is probably better off.

Victoria Beckham looks 20 years younger with her long hair and obvious interest in her life that exudes her beauty. She seems so real. I wish I could tell you I've worn her clothes, but have not yet. . She should design a line called Dorian. (ala Dorian Gray.)

That's just stupidity. A baby should be taken care of and the first couple of months are the most essential ones. Passion over babies?

What, was she not going to get paid during her time off? Please.

What exactly does she need to take maternity leave from?

Most mothers don't have nannies, private tutors, chefs, personal assistants etc to run their homes and children when they're pregnant.

She's beginning to look eerily like Priscilla Presley post-plastic surgery. Needs to take time off just to readjust and soften her makeup application too. If my mother was that close to my face with goth all-around black eyeliner and gazillion layers of black mascara, ewww, I mean you can hardly even see the whites of her eyes.

Congratulations Victoria! I give credit where it's due and the clothes and accessories Victoria designs look pretty good.

Don't you need to have an actual job before you can take leave from it?

I mean really, what exactly does she do now besides collect royalties?

Oh, thank goodness! Because, seriously? I didn't know how I was going to get through a season without her gazillion-dollar handbags!

She looks just like a mannequin I saw in a store window today. Her face looks like it's pulled so tight that it would tear if she smiled.
