Major, Yeah?

As a longtime Spice Girls fan I always have been partial to Ginger.

Well, that’s changed – at least until the group's reunion.

Beckhamania has set in, and I now love, love, love Posh.

Fickle, I know.

Anyway, Victoria Beckham’s TV special Victoria Beckham: Coming to America last night was brilliant, so much so it even introduced a new word into our zeitgeist: “major.”

Move over “fetch.”

The hour delved into Beckham’s larger-than-life world, revealed her very British, very clever, very wicked sense humor, and saw her prepare for her family’s big move to the United States.

When her new American assistant informed her the Dodgers would like her to throw the first pitch at a game, Beckham responded with an incredulous and worried, “What, they actually want me to…do something?”

Funny, right? Who knew….

Of course, there were fleeting moments of…let’s call it flightiness, which were grounded in practicality. Like when she went to get her driver license so she’ll be able to do school runs for her children.

At the DMV, the Spice Girl passed her written test with a little help from her friends, and then proceeded to pose to have her picture taken – after getting a smudge (i.e., a full hair and makeup touch-up), natch.

Too frakkin’ much, really…. I mean, check her out at right, and then click here.

The special also introduced us to her very tall, very handsome hair stylist Ben Cooke. Someone get him his own show – or at the very least his own product line – because that, I think, would be major.
