I Just Want You to Remember What Victoria Beckham Used to Look Like
June 21st, 2009 by KellyBefore she was a fiercely clavicled clothes horse:
She was one slightly more over-tweezed eyebrow and some black lip liner away from working at Dress Barn:
Raw Spice is (unfortunately) available on Youtube in its entirety. A few stray clicks ended with me watching it yesterday for over an hour. I was absolutely stunned by how different Victoria Beckham used to look. The snapshot above is one thing, but you really need to look at the video to get the full picture. “Posh” makes her first appearance at about 4 minutes in.
Amongst other utterly useless pieces of information, the video taught me that the fifth member was originally a girl named Michelle who was thought of as the “smart one.” If they hadn’t replaced her with Baby Spice, there might have been a “Smarty Spice” or a “Bookish Spice.”

OMFG she was huge!!!!! she seriously looks like a cow literally and figuratively. she must have been bulimic for years to now look like she does. ew. david beckham deserves a real woman with some real curves.
I love how the first three sentences are completely opposite to the last one. What is your point here?
they arent opposite. victoria is hideous fat or not. she doesnt deserve david.
Yes… he obviously deserves a lilac coloured, pentagon shaped person…
Don’t judge on what he does and does not deserve. You know neither of them.
Haha. He’s gay anyway.
And now I suddenly understand her self loathing…
Because obviously you and David are tight and know what’s best for him.
Just a tip, he’ll never love you or your “real curves”.
you are an idiot
It’s the mindset that she was a huge cow at that size that contributes to eating disorders.
I’m pretty sure I look “fatter” than posh does in that video and nobody has called me “omfg huge!.”
wow, what an asshole. i was about to comment on how much healthier her body looked back then. she never has and never will be pretty but her body was much more natural and beautiful.
She looked daggy and overweight..
and now she looks like a skeleton. because you know, that is just so much better.
Bowing to Victoria!
I have so much respect for women who have enough discipline to turn themselves around to beauties
if you are fat and ugly, its all your fault!
get some discipline in to your fat ass
eat less and exercise more
put on make up and get a great hair cut
its not that hard
….right….
ignoring the bigger picture of how the entire last five lines of your post were absolutely ridonkulous may i ask you a question? If getting a haircut and putting on makeup turned everyone into a spell-binding beauty than how do you explain people like tori spelling and rumer willis who obviously work out, eat a restricted diet, slather themselves with makeup and have very expensive haircuts yet still are classified as “butter faces” and the like. Just sayin, just because you’ve been blessed with the right genes for looking good to be so simple/easy doesn’t mean everyone else has and you shouldn’t judge all people based on your narrow-minded opinion.
I hear you, and i understand.
I take these things for granted.
Pretty is pretty scarce.
you must be ugly
Of course. Because just because i wish people wouldn’t judge each other by their appearances and don’t think that easy to be instantly gorgeous means I MUST be ugly. Not that it matters but I’m not. I’m 16 years old, 5′3″, 120 pounds, size four. I can’t exactly prove to you I’m not ugly facially since I have not the time or inclination to create one of those avatar thingies and it’s not like you’re going to believe me if I just say it here so alas, I’ll have to deal with one nameless, faceless frequenter of a gossip site thinking I’m ugly. *tear*
*it’s that easy
hey , 5′3 and 120 is kinda fat. im 5′3 too. And 105. SUCK IT !!!!!!
at 5′3″ 120 lb my bmi is 21.3, lower end of normal weight. i am happy and healthy with my body and have no inclination to become a stick. If you’re happy with being clinically underweight then more power to you.
ugly looks better when its thin and groomed
HA! That made me laugh… lol.
Victoria is not beautiful. She’s freakishly thin. You can just tell that she hates herself by looking at her. She has the worst self esteem ever. There’s no such thing as thin or rich enough for her.
I fear you probably feel the same way about yourself.
You are stupid to think it’s that simple. Some gorgeous people can go trough a phase where they are fat and not that stunning because of an illness, or a medication. They can get their real looks back when they are recovering.
Also, if you really think Victoria is beautiful, it’s your opinion, but i do not.
Poor thing
I wonder if she ever feels like a fake. Like if she feels she’s that same old chubby Dress Barn girl on the inside but with a prettier exterior and people are treating her so much better as long as she keeps faking it and pretending to be someone she’s not. Or she could be loving this new life and being herself.
It seems like the price she has to pay to keep Beckham. She’s the brains behind their marriage. As a business woman she’s quite savvy, although moving to the US has been harder than I think she thought. They haven’t quite been able to brand as well here as they were able to do in Europe.
In answer to your question, I think she’s always been Posh on the inside and as soon as she was able to afford the cost of making the outside Posh she did it.
SHE WAS NOT EVEN THAT BIG!!!! God i hate to think that society has made EVERYONE think that being a little overweight automatically makes you a huge, ugly cow. I would WAAAY rather look like she did before then she does now.
Thank you.
You tell them, fatty!
I will! Someone’s gotta stuck up for my kind!
You are an instigating little shit, aren’t you, Donkey Punch?
Am I the only one who does not think Victoria looks fat or overweight. Yeah, she was heavier when she was younger, but that doesn’t make her fat….just heavier in weight. Good lord, she had curves instead of looking so angular. Ugh, all of you haters!!
Posh looked better before, dumbazz anorexics! I’m sure all you, some of you do all day is exercise, and or make yourselves throw up, and count calories. You are pathetic. . I didn’t even see any extra weight on her. Go check in to a hospital anorexics and bulemics. Just because you are sick, doesn’t mean you have to try and make others sick. Misery loves company huh. Get a life and maybe you won’t focus on how ugly and fat you think you are…freaks!
Some of us are thin without having to exercise or vomit.. jealous? :P
of what? That i have all my teeth? Unlike you anorexics? and bulimics?
Anorexia nervosa and Bulimia are psychological illnesses. It is not a person’s conscious choice to become ill, so calling anorexics and bulimics “pathetic” is below the belt. Educate yourself before spouting this insulting and degrading rubbish. Two negatives cannot and will never result in a positive.
I am neither anorexic nor bulimic, still I do not appreciate your “dumbazz anorexic” slam. I have a friend who is bulimic and it breaks my heart to see her suffer.
I think she look soo much better before.
Mel B. was gorgeous.
Good story, actually.
I can’t believe that in America our perception of what is overweight is so skewed that people think she’s fat!
In the first picture she looks like a moose.
HAHAHAHA I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE THE MOOSE ANTLERS BEHIND HER.. i was too busy sheilding my eyes from the orange!
She looked to be in good shape back then. The eyebrows are terrible… but I watched most of that video and she looked fit. It’s so sad that people think that is fat!
proof for the americans that vickster is not as she claims “naturally skinny” or at least as nautrally skinny as nicole ritchie is… la la la. Victoria is a overly orange, botoxed, nose jobbbed, booby enhanced, venear enhanced version of what she once was – which is fine, but girl needs to own up to it.
I was mostly looking at the horrible skin, thick makeup, vest (I am vehemently anti-vest) and parentheses for eyebrows. To each his/her own, I guess.
This footage is endlessly fascinating.
Hacker! This is still the hacker. I know this because the real Evil Beet was sleeping next to me when this person posted after we had a night of mad passionate sex (I hate to brag but let’s just say it involved 3 squeeze bottles of chocolate syrup, 4 neck ties, 3 gerbils, and 1 package of Polaroid film).
Now that sounds like a rockin night.
Lil’ Miss Piggy over there :D
I’m an ugly fat piece of shiot..ignore what I say because I know nothing.
Donkey Punch look! you got your self your own hacker! you must proud!
I am! It is a touching moment.
I think she is gorgeous.
This is ridiculous… she wasn’t overweight. And what year did that shit come out? I believe that was the look that was going on at the time. People are so fucking stupid sometimes.
