This is the extent of my journalistic integrity--I'm assuming that it was the UK's Glamour "Woman of the Year" because the publication from which I gleaned this information is based in London, and I'm just too damn lazy to go ahead and confirm it. But in any case, here's why she was chosen:
Glamour editor Jo Elvin said: "For the past 10 years, Victoria Beckham has been a figure of fascination. She has successfully reinvented herself from pop star to devoted wife and mother to successful designer and business mogul."
So, if I'm wrong, I kind of don't care that much. Because this is really about Posh and her fingerless bicycle gloves and corset-ensemble. I feel like she arrived to the scene on a bicycle that was invented back in the 80's for people to travel back to the future. She and Captain EO had to combine their pedaling powers on a tandem beach cruiser in order to get up to 88 mph. But it was worth it, because she made it just before her shoulder pads caught on fire.

grace says:
Teri Hatcher looks like a mummy.
Tracey says:
Victoria Beckham looks anorexic and winning the Glamour Award just highlights the fact that the fashion & media industry are only interested in 'size zero' women. Is there any wonder there are so many young girls with eating disorders? Kelly Brook looks gorgeous and she definately is not a 'size zero' but looks more gorgeous for it.
CarrieFever says:

LoRider says:
"Posh" is one scary, anorexic, skeleton-looking bitch. If it weren't for her Mattel Bolt-On Boobies and her marriage to a "sports hero" (if indeed soccer counts as a sport here in the states), we'd have forgotten about her long, long ago. Having sex with her would be like f*cking a chain link fence. My penis and I are in agreement on this. Ride Lo.
Ria says:
I have always thought the English was the epitome of "class". Horribly, I have changed my mind thru the years what with their fascination for tacky celebrities like Jordan and Posh. Posh is probably the most plastic celebrity I ever saw with her fake smile and her fake boobs and her desperation to be in the spotlight all the time. Clinging to a guy who cheats on her everytime because she does not want to lose her celebrity status.
And please, Sienna Miller as Film Actress of the Year? What about Kate Winslet? Tacky, tacky, tacky.

Dorothea says:
Ria--you spoke for me exactly.
Its like Posh is being forced upon us to consider her a big time celebrity.
It just seems like such an exhausting life to be her age with 3 kids and trying to compete with nubile models. Why does she care?
I mean I admire her dedication--wow can you imagine being in all the finest restaurants in the world and have to mostly pretend to eat and settle for a few swallows here and there to basically stay alive???
You're so bang-on about Kate W., such a ravishing beauty and such a real girl!
Nicole says:
Teri Hatcher and "Glamour Women of the Year" don't belong in the same sentence. What is she doing there?
CANNON says:
WOW IT SEEM LIKE ALL THE COMMENTS ARE FROM WOMEN, AND SURPRISINGLY MOSTLY NEGATIVE, WELL I AM A BLACK STRAIGHT MAN AND I THINK THAT VICTORIA BECKHAM LOOKED HOT,I LOVED THE OUTFIT, FINE YOU CANT LOOK TAYLORED,FEMININE OR MODEST 24/7 I LIKE A LITTLE EDGINESS AND RISK SOMETIMES, YES SHE IS TINY, HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN SHE CARRY AT 5FT 5" IN HEELS ? I DONT ENDORSE THE SUPER SKINNY LOOK NOR THE OVER WEIGHT. BUT THE LOOK WORKED FOR HER AND ITS HOT.... AND OF COARSE THE COMMENTS TO FOLLOW WILL PROBABLY BE "WHAT DO I KNOW ? I AM A MAN, WHO'S MIND IS ONLY ON ONE THING!" QUIET THE OPPOSITE... MUCH LOVE PEACE ..
Scared of Bugs says:
She's so alien insect looking. Her huge head on that skinny body looks like a Praying Mantis. And when she opens her mouth and shows all those teeth rather than smiling, I think she's going to bite someones head off in one quick motion.
pilsbury says:
I'm sorry but what the Fuck??
How in hell did vicky win two awards??
Even catherine tate won an award for being funny.
Glamour Magazine, what drugs are THEY on?? I often wondered what the odd smell was every time I goto their office in just off Picadilly in the west end.
Drambeg says:
Oh NO - now every trollop on the face of the earth is going to want to show us their knickers, panties, culottes or whatever they call them. Daring is one thing - vulgar... well that's something else.
I wish you'd shown the pic from behind I saw someplace else... with the cheeks of her ass hanging out... Uggghhhh!
