Our second Posh Spice story in as many days! We truly are obsessed. Today, she's making headlines due to the outrageous, Mariah Carey-like list of demands she and husband David gave to a London hotel to ensure that their stay was a comfortable one. Your hotel requirements might be: towels, a working toilet, decent water pressure, and sheets with the minimal amount of bodily fluid on them. Posh's are much different.
Vic and Bec recently stayed at London's Hempel Hotel when they were in town promoting Victoria's surely enlightening book, That Extra Half an Inch. The hotel spent your yearly salary on knickknacks and geegaws to make the Beckhams comfortable. London's Daily Mail reports:
"Her exacting demands included £350 of cakes from a local patisserie, ultrathick towels and extra dressing gowns and £1,000 of smart Jo Malone bath scents, plus a full set of Spanish newspapers so her husband could read reports from football matches in his home league.
Anxious staff decorated the hotel's £1,500-a night Beluga suite with £5,000 of orchids, six silver platters of fresh tropical fruit, and lit it with 60 candles. Another £5,000 was spent flying in Italian linen sheets by designer Francesco Calvidini. A butler was put on standby to look after the couple during their two day stay at the west London hotel. They were also offered a chauffeur-driven Porsche Cayenne should they need to venture out."
Furthermore, a hotel staffer said:
"Victoria arrived here with David on Sunday afternoon. We made a massive effort to get ready for them – in total we must have spent around £20,000 preparing for their arrival. Victoria came here to promote her book – she did a series of interviews in her suite. We did everything we could to get it ready. But she was not happy with champagne on ice in her suite – we had stocked it with Ruinart champagne and she insisted on Cristal. She was quite clear that she and David were not happy with anything but Cristal."
While we think that the world does need insane, Prince-like divas who sleep on pure mink sheets and will only bathe in the hot springs of Iceland, Victoria Beckham doesn't really seem to us like a person of such remarkable, God-given talent that her preposterous demands could easily be explained away. She's not really on the Cristal and silver platter level. She's more like generic Ritz and prepackaged pudding cups on a TV tray. With a glass of Riunite on ice.
