Partial Guest Editor / More Soccer Loving

This first part is courtesy of Grazia:
Her husband may be out of the squad and free from a strict regimen, but Victoria Beckham has been doing some extreme training of her own for the World Cup.

While some observers are saying the cult of the soccer WAG is over, VB is determined to outshine her rivals in South Africa. The 36-year-old has been avidly following a new diet that involves eating hard-boiled eggs with every meal and as a snack.

“She’s on this high-protein diet and takes a plastic tub of hard-boiled eggs with her everywhere she goes,” says a friend. “Apart from the eggs, it’s mainly salad leaves and protein shakes. Victoria is determined to be the best-looking WAG there.”

Her entourage estimate she has spent more than $500,000 on clothes, hair and beauty treatments ahead of her arrival in South Africa.

“The dresses are her own label but she’s splurged thousands on corsets, underwear and designer shoes and handbags,” the friend says. “She’s been taking polaroids of each outfit and labelling them with which date they’ll be worn and to which event.”

Mindful that the spending excesses of the English WAGS during the 2006 World Cup led to them being labelled vacuous and materialistic, VB also has a plan to win over cynics with a program of charity work while she’s there.

Bless her. This woman is fantastic and hilarious at once.

In other news, following the purchase of my lovely car I am still pleasantly receiving after sales care via my mail box from the car dealership I purchased from. Who doesn't just love mail? Today's arrival in my (in)box was an invitation to attend the (gorgeous) showroom at 4am to watch the next Socceroos match and to share breakfast with all the other Mazda-loving, soccer tragics who have recently purchased a car. I love this idea.
