Victoria Beckham followed in her husband’s foot steps by stripping down for an Armani underwear ad campaign, and the Daily Mail has the first stills from the deal that will pay Posh in the neighborhood of $18 million.  Because, you know, the Beckhams are hurting for money and publicity.

Of course, as with all lingerie ads, the woman is wearing a matching bra and panties with high heels.  Know how many times I’ve seen a woman actually wear matching underwear and high heels? **counts silently for several seconds** Zero.  Zero times.  My therapist says that maybe if women dressed in underwear and high heels more often, I wouldn’t feel the need to do so myself.
