Gordon’ Smart’s Victoria Beckham Snap
A PICTURE of a pair of sunglasses and the Sun’s warning that “YOU’LL NEED THESE FOR Bizarre”, the paper’s showbiz pages.
It’s not because Gordon Smart, the paper’s showbiz reporter is especially bright, nor that Amy Winehouse’s “notorious red bra” will render readers blind on sight, rather that Victoria Beckham is in a dress.
And not just any dress but a “nuclear-bright lime green dress”. One look at Her Poshness could irritate the eyes.
But it will not cause as much irritation as Smart’s claim that readers are looking at “my snaps of Victoria Beckham”. These are not his snaps, taken by him on his happy snapper as he prowls the world for celebrity news, or waits for the Beckhams’ agent to call. These are agency pictures, taken by the paparazzi and made available to anyone who wants to get one.
