Victoria Beckham’s Slice of Victorian Life

Enjoying her stay back in London, Victoria Beckham popped out on Friday to do a little shopping and visit a few of her local favorites.

Housed in what was once London’s biggest 19th century charity school, Posh made sure to stop by the family-friendly Ragged School museum for a slice of Victorian life.


Carrying a few shopping bags of her own clothing line, Victoria enjoyed the museum’s offerings of roleplay, hands-on exhibits and talks - all providing insight into the experience of the poor of the East End a century ago.

In related news, the owner of the Los Angeles-based Kitson stores, Fraser Ross, has been complaining about the 33-year-old Spice Girl’s unwillingness to make an appearance at his shops.

“There has to be more support for their retailers. The celebrity has to be 100 percent involved with their own line and they have to be willing to support the retailers who are selling it. Having a clothing line should be treated by them as no different than selling an album or promoting a movie,” Ross told.

“I’m fighting right now with Victoria Beckham’s people because she lives here in L.A., we sell her line and she won’t come in here to do an appearance. We have customers asking if she will come in and what am I supposed to tell them? She lives here, she really should come out and support her fans, the people buying her jeans.”

Posh has, however, recently participated in a multicity tour with Saks Fifth Avenue to promote her fashionable creations.

Speaking of years past, Duff recently interviewed with the Australian magazine Dolly, revisiting some ancient history with Lindsay Lohan and her first love Joel Madden.

“Lindsay Lohan and I fell out when we were 13 and didn’t like each other, because we were dating the same guy — pop star Aaron Carter,” Duff recalled.

“I was seeing him, then she dated him and then we got back together and he was seeing us at the same time. How was I supposed to know he was dating her too?”

But since that time, things have been patched up, with Hilary saying: “Now we are fine. We see each other, but we are into different things.”

As for her former rocker boyfriend Joel Madden, who’s now the father of a baby daughter by current flame Nicole Richie, Hilary thinks that breaking up was for the best.

“It wasn’t like there was a big blow-out fight, or one of us had cheated…He was my first love but I definitely feel happier now that we’ve broken up,” she tells.
