Because the mail order bride thing and running the marathon then wearing heels that night thing? I just kind of shrugged.
But then I read this account of Posh and Katie's buddy system diet plan. I don't know, maybe it's me, but for some reason, I don't really see Posh Spice as bff material. You know what I do when I get together with my bff? We spend a lot of money shopping and then we go to In 'n' Out burger (and then usually there is vodka and dancing and things I can't print in this blog, but don't judge). I think if I suggested that we split an entrée of steamed fish and supplement by nibbling on dry lettuce, my bff would check for an empty pod next to my bed.
I know a lot of women who have a problem eating in front of people who make them insecure. I often joke that I'll never go to Hooters because the last thing I need is to try to eat high-calorie buffalo wings while staring at tiny women in even tinier outfits.
You can always count on science to provide a study on this phenomenon:
"In a nut shell " Harrison said, "we found that, following exposure to ideal-body images, men who are insecure about their bodies eat more in front of other men, while women who are insecure about their bodies eat less in front of other women."
What do you think Posh would do if Katie busted out with a suggestion that they split a double-decker brownie hot fudge sundae? In my fantasy, when Posh is too stunned to speak, Mrs. Cruise shrugs and says, "OK, I'll just order it for myself and if you want some, you're welcome to dig in."
Do you think Posh would get up and leave? Or flag down the pappies to take pictures and dispel the rigid dieting rumors?
Note to Posh: This could be a PR coup. You can thank me later.
