Is Victoria Beckham Totally Crazy or Totally Awesome?

So maybe the real answer to the title of this post is a resounding “Both!” The question was inspired by her recent attire at the launch of the Beckham Signature Fragrance Collection at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City this weekend.
The Evidence:
I’m sorry, perhaps you did not get the full impact of this here photo. Take a closer look.
The Trial:
Defense: As you will see, Lady Posh has lifted an outfit entirely from the Antonio Berardi Fall 2008 runway line. It’s fits beautifully, because let’s face it, Posh can wear the hell out of outfits! And she is all about the crazy high heels!
Prosecution: But she isn’t wearing any heels! Those rubber stockings/boots (yes, they are connected!) have platforms, but are completely heel-less, giving the impression that Posh is balancing all her weight on her tippy toes. That’s not high heels; that’s just crazy.
Def: We of the defense are not the first to laud Miz Beckham for her courageous footwear choices. Let me draw your attention to her Elle editorial from 2008. Here are the shoes that she wore in the highly discussed spread:
Pro: Yeah…those were pretty cool. But wait – they have HEELS, albeit ones that don’t actually touch the ground! The point we are making here is that heel-free shoes are against nature.
Def: It’s not like she’s the first. Marc Jacobs sold a ton of those backwards heel shoes last season. (Still available on Net-a-Porter for the low, low sale price of $660)
Pro: Oh yeah – those were so cool. I mean crazy, they were crazy. I must stick to my guns…
Def: And Vogue’s Stephanie La Cava wore these fantastic Dior Couture uber-platforms to the Whitney Art Party in June and people are still talking about it. See how we are still talking about it?
Pro: I WANT those! Where can I get some. Wow – they look a lot like Posh’s Elle shoes. She’s such a trend-setter. I can’t believe you got to me like this. Ok, she’s crazy AND amazing. We should make a movie about her finely tuned sense of fashion insanity. Must…go…shopping….!
The Verdict: After long deliberation the jury has decided that Posh is both crazy and awesome. Sure we knew that already, but the evidence was too good to pass up.

I do like her shoe. I also like her thong. My cousin Chessie wore her thong when we went clubbing and she was sweating all night. At the end of the night her pantie thong was quite damp and she left it on the floor. I'm pretty sure my brother Billy sneaked into the room later while we were sleeping and was sniffing her thong. Chessie said she woke up during the night and saw him doing it while sniffing her thong. She didn't want to humiliate Billy so she made believe she was sleeping while he did it.

I love the shoes Victoria wears, and I love her feet! If she was my gf I would lock her into high heels 24/7, right up on her toes. Love those toes!
