Since she and husband David moved to L.A., Victoria Beckham claims that their family has been treated like characters in Disneyland – and she means that as an absolute compliment. Whereas other celebs might preface such a statement with original thoughts like “We feel like monkeys caged at the zoo,” “the paparazzi makes us feel like prisoners in our own neighborhood!” etcetera, when Posh says it she means it more along the lines of, “We’re treated like foreign diplomats!” or “Strangers lay down in the street so my Manolos don’t get sloshed in a puddle.” And that is why they all love Los Angeles.
Victoria Beckham loves the way her Californian neighbours always wave to her.
She and husband David, who moved to the States wit [sic] their three boys last year, says everyone in her neighbourhood is incredible friendly.
‘They are very positive, the Americans,’ she reveals. ‘Everytime I come out of the drive in my car they wave like we’re characters from Disney.’
And Posh loves being round the corner from pals Tom Cruise, 45, and his wife Katie Holmes, 29. ‘We really like it here and have been made to feel very welcome,’ she tells Hello! ‘The kids are very happy at school, the weather is great and we have nice friends here – Tom Cruise is a really nice guy. All our kids hang out together and we live quite close.’
[From Now Magazine]
Fark pointed out that Posh might feel like she’s a character at Disneyland due to her remarkable resemblance to several animated creatures. They mentioned Minnie Mouse, but I’ll keep that to myself since pointing out the freakish resemblance would be rude. And certainly un-American, by Victoria’s definition.
Nonetheless, what a strange comparison. I can’t imagine a celebrity would ever think to make that analogy and phrase it like a positive.
Here’s Posh and David at the Espy Awards on July 17th. Images thanks to PR Photos.

I wonder if Americans and Europeans understand the analogy differently. I – being European – wouldn’t understand her comment as being totally happy about this waving, but rather feeling a little bit awkward and uber-friendly, as if it was a sensation seeing someone in their driveway – which clearly is something totally normal.

Well of course the Beckhams are being treated like they were characters at Disneyland, look at the way Victoria dresses and poses.

I could picture her as Peter Pan, her arms akimbo, with that little green hat on her head.

I’m shocked that Posh looks so pretty in yellow – that’s a really lovely color on her, she should wear it more often.
Of course we wave at her – Americans are some of the friendliest people on earth. Of course, we’re also a nation of violent sociopaths, but friendliness usually wins out.
HI POSH!!!! *waving like a crazy person*

Posh turns my stomach w/ all of her silly poses and her thin lips trying to pout like a sex goddess. As for her hubby-sorry, don’t see what all the fuss is about. Plus his girlie voice is a huge turn off.

Well, I do a lot of yard work and whenever my neighbors pull in or out of their driveways, we always wave at each other. It’s a bit rude not to, actually.
It’s funny that she thinks they’re getting some special celebrity treatment. Here in rural Georgia, it’s just bein’ folksy, ya’ll.

Lol, they are kind of like Disney characters, David especially. But I know what she means. Sometimes, when I’ve been in America, I do feel slightly like I’m actually in a film, something a little bit surreal about seeing things in 3D that you’ve grown up seeing in 2D on screen.

That’s a great picture of Posh. I like her new hairstyle.

Kaiser – a nation of violent sociopaths! Too funny! I’m trying to get one of those little smiley-face thingies on here…. where’s the kid when I need him?

Please have the Brits take them back.
All they do is waste money on PR campaigns so that they somehow stay relevant.
How about Posh first develop some sort of talent, start eating so she would be able to smile or have a facial expression and then we would be able to have something to talk about (like actually doing something!)

I wonder if in England a woman just needs to be married to a star in order to be famous and doesn’t need to do anything and have any talent in order to be relevant.
So odd.

That’s actually a cute analogy. They’re like little fuzzy pets for all! Kind of endearing. I think she’s funny. Maybe she’s a diva but not in a nasty annoying way like JLo or Mariah Carey..

She cracks me up and I like following them, but I also love to hate how she poses. I mean, how ridiculous. Hasn’t anyone told her?

OJ –
You just go to the bottom and click on the emoticon you want! (See? I’m friendly!)
Geronimo – Really? But did you think Americans are generally a friendly people?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Geronimo – that’s how I felt my first time in London!
It’s also how I felt one time when I took percocet on a hot muggy day and went for a ride in the car listening to Chris Issac’s Forever Blue cd… lol

Kaiser, really true, the surreal thing. US police, for eg. seem completely unreal. Got stopped while driving in NO once and it was thrilling!! Difficult to explain but I felt I’d been there before I ever went there and the reality is just so…well…real!! America is kind of like one big ongoing movie.
And yeah, extremely friendly, warm, generous people (even the violent sociopaths.) My sis is married to an American, they live in Georgia.

@Geronimo – Of course the violent sociopaths are friendly – we have to get you in the car somehow.
But I understand what you’re saying – the first time I went to NYC, I didn’t feel any different. Then I went to the financial district, and all of sudden I felt like I stepped onto the set of “Working Girl” – all of the buildings, all of the bustling people in immaculate suits. Amped-up reality.
@Diva – For me, two Sudafeds make everything really dreamy… not really like a movie, just seems like everything is softened, frayed.

I think it was the fuzzy hazy weather and the background movie music that put it over the top… it’s definitely a feeling I’ll never forget, lol.

Give her a break… after the love the Poms give her, a friendly wave by a neighbour must feel like adulation. I’ve been in the US 6 years and have been sucked into the waving at neighbours bit… even ones I rarely say boo to. Very strange.

Do people in England not wave to their neighbors then? I’ve always thought they did. Or maybe they just don’t where Posh is from?
*Is baffled, because her neighbors have always waved*

It’s surprising Cruise would let his kids hang out with people who aren’t Scientologists – my guess is the Beckhams have converted.

If David Beckham was my neighbor I’d be falling all over myself waving at him too
Posh, not so much. Her boobs look totally bizarre on her scrawny bod, and she always has a freakazoid look on her face, very off-putting, not at all attractive. Their kids are very cute, though.

“…my guess is the Beckhams have converted.”
Hahahahahahahahahahhaha. I really don’t think so. I’m more likely to convert to scientology before the Beckhams do.
