Victoria Beckham gets heself a little job

In order to keep herself busy in her latest "new life", Victoria Beckham has decided to open a little shop. After all, if Philip Green can do it, why can't she? (Apart from the lack of experience and so on.) Plans, at least according to the People are quite well advanced:

"Victoria wants to ensure she is as much of a fashion icon in the States as in the UK and this seems the ideal way to do it.

"Melrose Avenue is THE place to have a store if you are a designer, so if Victoria pulls it off it will do wonders to boost her status.

"There are plans for a massive ad campaign to coincide with it. Nothing will be done by halves.

"Victoria is also in talks to model the designs herself but may decide it would just be better to stick to the business side of things."

Yes, because we'd imagine that Beckham would be much better suited to wading through spreadsheets and stock forecasts than merely standing around in stupidly overpriced skirts, simpering.

Still, it wouldn't be very difficult for her to achieve the dream of being as much of a fashion icon in the US as the UK - since only Chanelle off Big Brother seems to show any interest in what Beckham is wearing, all she needs to do is find one gullible idiot in California and she'll be there.
