    She even looks like a pig.

    Vulgar pig?! Now who is being vulgar..

    Woman of the decade? For what?

    Also I don't know about them but my decade just started 3 and a half years ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Wattle


    Must have been a pretty slow decade.

    Sure if we had her money, stylists and helpers for everything we'd be just as glamorous and win awards


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭bacon n eggs


    How about businesswoman, mother, wife and very successful at all three, as well as putting up with all the crap from begrudgers and press putting her down at every turn. I think she has done a fine job of staying sane as well as keeping the show on the road.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,433 ✭✭✭wandatowell


    She has above moderate good looks IMO



    Vulgar pig is a bit harsh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    She seems nice and I'd say she has a great sense of humour from what I've seen on her on TV. She has also worked pretty hard to build up her business. I don't know about her being woman of the decade, but I think people get a bit unnessarily mean when they talk about her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭tmc86


    Didn't take long for the good old Irish trait of bashing those more successful than you to come out!

    I wonder why I read this forum sometimes

    Very telling award for the vacuous decade that's in it.

    Fair enough, it's Glamour magazine, not Time but still.

    What a vulgar pig.
    I highlighted the important part which makes it a non story

    That's being cruel to Babe

    Why was she called Posh? Was she conceived in Peterborough Utd football ground?

    They should have given it to that woman who was harping on about how hard she had it for being good looking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,513 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    It's fairly depressing that the most inspiring woman that magazine's readers can come up with is somebody who's primarily known for marrying a famous footballer.

    It's kind of ironic that you'd rant about how vacuous we've all become, and at the same time react so angrily to the fact she won the award, which is a complete non-story really.

    Vacuous indeed!

    a glamour magazine has picked a glamorous woman, I can't see how they got it wrong.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 205 ✭✭Meritocracy Wins


    The vulgar pig statement by the OP is so wrong. The Beckhams PR machine is one of the best in the world either that or the have sold their souls to the devil. Either way good luck to them.

    The woman of the decade is my mother, she has been for the last 3 decades.

    I think she was actually known for being a member of one of the world's most successful girl bands - then she married Becks.

    Glamour magazine are obviously going to pick their woman of the decade based on fashion/beauty based achievements.

    If you think there is somebody else in the fashion/beauty industry more deserving then fair enough, but suggesting that a fashion/beauty magazine should hand out awards based on non fashion/beauty achievements is just silly.

    It's not like the award means anything to anybody out side of the fashion/beauty industry anyway, so why care?

    I think she is an inspiration to every girl out there. She proved that you didn't have to be particularly good looking, talented or appear to be very bright to be successful. Just get a boob job, be skeletal thin, never smile in a photo, be a walking billboard for sickeningly expensive brands and bob's your uncle. Every time I duckface in a photo I'm doing it for Posh!

    What does she do exactly?

    Pouts a bit and… em… I'll have to get back to you on that…

    She is a pretty sucessful designer now. Shows in Paris and New York I think

    How about businesswoman, mother, wife and very successful at all three

    I don't want to bash her but I do wonder how great a businesswoman she really is. It seems like everybody who becomes a celebrity these days is also, coincidentally, a fantastic business person. Everybody in Heat Magazine looks to operate a multi-million dollar empire when they're not on the cover. It looks less like they genuinely built their new business from scratch and instead purchased, or were given, some cookie-cutter type company that didn't require the genuine dog-eat-dog, finger-to-the-bone entrepreneurial spirit that I'd associate with being a successful business person.

    I'm not trying to knock her, I'm sure she's a sound person, but I can't help but wonder how much business acumen she actually has or if she is simply someone who wouldn't be where she is if she hadn't the celebrity status in her pocket beforehand.

    As they say; the first million is the hardest. That's particularly true if you already have the market and just need something to sell them.

    She designs clothes for rich people. And brings out a mid-priced range fragrance every now and then too.

    She's no more a designer than I am an olympic gold-winning gymnast. She is a serial endorser of products and is successful at it because there are enough retarded women out there willing to spend good money on products with her name attached to them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,494 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    She's authored a few books too. Sold over a million copies in the UK alone. Also, she's patron for various charitable organisations.

    I don't get why people have such a disdain for her. It's not as if she just woke up one morning and had everything that she has. She worked damn hard for it over many years. She's more inspirational in that regard than many of the socialites present in today's media obsessed society.. people who have literally done nothing to deserve what they have, but just happened to be born to rich / famous parents.

    I have no interest in anything she does, but I wouldn't knock her for doing it either.

    Should we go with one of the women scientists, surgeons, astronauts, ngo workers, political activists......

    ... or should we go with the professional skeleton.

    Its so hard to choose.
