There are many people I suspect have a hard life. People who have lost their homes to fire, parents with children suffering from cancer, but none of them seem to suffer quite as much as Victoria Beckham. As she tells the latest issue of Vogue, it’s tough living in high heels and owning purses worth enough to feed a family for a year:

Victoria also denies crash-dieting to maintain her weight in the Vogue interview.

“I would never put my health at risk,” she told Vogue.

“Obviously working out is important. Well, I don’t.

“I have joined a gym but I can’t bring myself to start.

“What do you wear on the running machine? I can’t bring myself to wear flat shoes.”

She also discusses her pain at the damage her children did to “a lilac crocodile Hermes handbag” her husband bought her for Christmas.

“I put the bag on the table - he got it specially made - and one of the kids knocked a candle and the wax went sploosh, all over it,” the Press Association reported.

“And honestly, I nearly cried.”

Yes, life is hard for the former Posh Spice. It must suck to have your ultra-rare insanely expensive handbag get wax on it. Not like the rest of us, when our kids spill wax on our $39.99 bag from Target we still have to wipe it off and carry it around.

Victoria must have been having a sad day, we all have them, and couldn’t think of anything obvious to whinge about. There are things in Victoria’s life I think would be hard. Her husband travels a great deal of the year and missed her son’s birthday party. Or that she’s living in a country away from her family. Or any other number of things that we might be able to relate to, but spilling some wax on an ultra expensive hangbag is not something I can relate to. She should just be happy her kid didn’t set the house on fire – children and candles do not mix.

I can relate to the fact that she doesn’t want to go to the gym, the thing in this interview she was kidding about, because she’s worried about looking stupid on the running machine. I feel like an idiot at the gym so I stay home. I suspect that Posh and Becks could probably afford a home gym, where she wouldn’t have to worry about being photographed or watched, and could wear her high heels without concern if she liked. Pick some wedges for the treadmill, not stilletto heels.

Note by Celebitchy: The custom made crocodile Birkin that Posh’s son ruined was probably worth at least $10,000. Similar crocodile Birkin bags went at auction in 2005 for upwards of $10k. Birkin crocodile bags with diamonds can go for 60k and up. You can understand how that would suck for someone, even though my entire wardrobe is worth a small fraction of that. Relative to Posh’s wardrobe, 10k is not a whole lot.
