Put a monkey in a suit, it’s still a monkey, and that’s just about how it is with Victoria Beckham. The, ‘wanna-be’ designer wife of football ace David Beckham, is constantly being snapped with extravagant clothes, shoes, sunglasses, cars and handbags, but no matter what she drapes around her scrawny little body, she’s still a no-body with a sulky pout! But is someone pimping her out without her knowledge?

A US financial company, giving her even more to sulk about as it arrives at the figure of $2,296,738.6311 when calculating the money the ex Spice Girl has spent on handbags in the past couple of years, seems to have missed the fact that she doesn’t actually pay for them!

With thousands of photos showing Posh, clinging on to handbags by many varying designers, the 35 year old appears to have a penchant in particular for Hermes Birkin and in particular a luxurious Hermes version in pink ostrich skin, a glossy black crocodile bag worth up to $65,000 and even the rare ‘Silver Himalayan’ style, which, at $120,000, comes complete with three-carat diamond.

But if anyone is really taken in by the outrageously price tags on these bags, the financial data, and the woman herself, they should consider the amount of free advertising Hermes acquires by adorning this stick thin creature with the very ‘animal unfriendly accessories’, and maybe come to the realization that these bags don’t actually indicate the bottom line of the Beckham’s bank account, but more the clever marketing of the guys at Hermes.

Although the bags may cost as much as a small one bed apartment, the mere fact that Vicky is photographed touting the little ‘investment’ piece, merely serves to keep the bag in the public eye, on the shelves of 5th Avenue stores and raising the bidding on the UK Ebay site £10,000 to an eye-watering £63,000, and so creating waiting list of up to 3 years to own a Hermes!
