Victoria Beckham appears in August issue of Allure magazine. Included in the shoot is this pose, which is a clear homage to Balthus' "Golden Days" painting. Because when you think of high art, your thoughts automatically turn to WAGs.

And why not? Fine art is so full of needlessly chubby women. You're among the worst offenders, Peter Paul Rubens. You give heavyset women the ability to describe themselves as "reubenesque," asshole. I don't need handy euphemisms to deflect my abuse.

As for replacing the subject of a memorable painting, SCARLETT DID IT! For an entire movie even. Can't win for losing, Posh.
