Victoria Beckham: I Skype With My London Team In My Bikini

Victoria Beckham lives quite the demanding life, what with a Hollywood-based home full of kids and a British-based business. How can the pop star-turned-designer be in two places at once? Skype, of course!

In the Autumn/Winter 2011 issue of ELLE Collections, Beckham explained:

"When I'm here in London, which is for about a week every month it's really, really full-on. Then, when I'm back in the US, I use Skype to talk with my team -- usually wearing either a dressing gown or a bikini."

Working while tanning -- that sounds about right for the Queen of Multi-Tasking. The designer recently said she wouldn't be taking time off after giving birth to baby Harper Seven, joking to Glamour UK, "Maternity leave -- what's that?"

The former-Posh Spice emphasized to ELLE that she's "just like another working mum out there" and not a spoiled housewife, like some might assume:

"Contrary to what people think, I'm not one of those women who likes to go for lunch with friends and then go spend a fortune on Chanel handbags. I'm sure that's great, but it's not me. I work and I have my kids: I just don't have the time. So [instead of shopping] I get a lot of clothes on Net-a-Porter and I wear my own stuff."

Incidentally, her customers are just as big fans of Net-a-Porter as she is. Earlier this year, Beckham's line of handbags sparked a buying frenzy after they hit Net-A-Porter, with one style selling out in 60 seconds and another gone within hours.

Those rabid Victoria Beckham fans may have something new to look forward to. Beckham mentioned to ELLE Collections that she will be launching something new this September at Spring/Summer 2012 Fashion Week in New York.

Considering Becks already does ready-to-wear, denim, eyewear and bags, the only thing logical thing we can think of is shoes. But we aren't starting any rumors.

Net-a-Porter shoppers, start your engines.

All she lacks is a line of SHOES ?

Do a Google Image Search on "Victoria Beckham's Bunions" and you'll see why !

Her feet look like armadillo claws !!

This woman has conclusively proven that having a brain is vastly overrated...

She seems like a very good mother but as for her fashion line some of it I would not wear

To be fair, that's pretty much true of any fashion line, right?

I am happy she had baby girl. I don't know her, nor I am a "fan", but I do get tired of people criticizing her every move. I think I am going to were a bikini when I Skype as well.........GO GIRL!

Victoria strikes me as a pretty cool lady. She always seems to come across as smart and hard-working and devoted to her family.

I like her.

We saw Victoria and her husband and boys at a soccer game where one of our grandsons, and one of their boys, were playing (opposite teams). Both of the Beckhams were delightful, accessible, friendly, encouraging to all of the boys. She looked adorable in a very casual outfit and yes, she did smile and speak with people around her (we parents). Nobody went crazy around them; we all were just parents watching our kids play and when Beckham made a positive comment to our grandson about his playing, it made his day! (Of course the boys all knew who he was.) So enough with all this negative stuff; she is very beautiful, with a tiny adorable figure and a very cute personality. It hurts me to read all the mean and nasty things you people write about her.

Why is this girl so interesting to the media or Americans??? She must have a good PR agent, who "promotes" her..........She is just about the grimest......no personality person, and she never smiles, and acts like she is mad at the world, and such SELF IMPORTANCE......She is reviling.
YUK.. She should GO BACK to England......NOW.

you seem to have issues... maybe you need some professional help.. and as for her going back to England, why.. she is a very productive person, unlike you sitting behind your keyboard spewing nasty remarks against a person you most likely have never met!!

[DMure]

07:46 AM on 08/08/2011

your doing the opposite, to a person you've never met...whats the significance?

[bds6543]

Issues? Hey, quit being a GROUPIE and GET a LIFE......instead of putting some "celebrity" up on your pedestal to love and adore an admire. What's she ever done that is noteworthy, except marry Beckham? I don't need professional help, b/c I have a brain to think with and an opinion.

She has mentioned many times that she doesn't smile for cameras because she hates her smile (it is a little goofy) and she's extremely self conscious of it. She's just a "normal", extremely lucky chick. I think you are reading too much into her pictures. Remember to breath.

[bds6543]

09:19 AM on 08/08/2011

Well, then get out of the way of camera. What's she ever done that is noteworthy? NADA.......Who cares what she does or doesn't do.. I am sorry I ever even clicked on this site to see her ugly face.

my guess would have been, she actually smiled

This isn't really news, or even worthy of anyone's time enough to get upset about it. People are going to judge. For some people it's all they have left.

That said, I have a lot of respect for the woman, regardless of what all these people are saying about her. If she uses a nanny, big deal. Her boys don't seem like incorrigible brats.

She's embodies such unique beauty.

True sign of an insecure woman. She just had a baby a couple of weeks ago so she has to let us all know that she sits around "working" in a bikini but she is really too busy to do the things the "common" women do like lunch all day and buy expensive handbags because she is really better than all of us are. I guess the women whose incomes are necessary to keep their household running who actually have to GO to work and cannot sit around two weeks postpartum in a bikini skyping orders to their underlings don't count to her. Enough of her already!!

[Highball]

01:27 PM on 08/07/2011

Yeah, I'm sure she's real insecure. I mean, what would she have to feel good about?

Most ppl criticize her because they fail to know she is very very shy. I love her couture, excellent quality and very very elegant.

Yea I think because she doesn't smile in her pics she gets a worse rep here in the states then she would if she smiled more.

Another one we really don't care to hear from
