I’m so proud! Harper Beckham has finally perfected the disapproving scowl I’ve been training her on for months.
I wonder what provoked it — annoying paparazzi? A tardy car service? Unmet brunch expectations? We’ve all been there.
I don’t know. I feel like I’m in some strange fugue state, because here is a photo of Tom and Katie from last night’s Vanity Fair party, and they … do not look awful.
Tom is in classic Armani, Katie in Elie Saab, accessorized by new haircuts and old famous friends, and for once I am actually considering claiming them.
Some people think Katie looked pregnant in this dress; I think she just had a weird tulle/belt incongruity happening. At least, I hope and pray that’s the case. She knows how I feel about siblings. And secrets.
As you may have been aware, the Beckhams were considering a move to Paris, where Mr. Beckham was offered a spot on the Paris Saint Germain soccer team. He’s turned down the offer and opted to stay in Los Angeles, about which I have mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I would have been extremely jealous, as it is my dream to live as an American expat in France — like Gertrude Stein, but with better hair.
But on the other, I believe I could have survived my jealousy if it meant having Harper Beckham out of my territory. (By which I mean not only Los Angeles, but also the continent.)
David Beckham now says that the name “Harper” comes from Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, and “Seven” is because it represents “spiritual perfection” and, yes, also because of his jersey number.
PLEASE.
I’m five, and even I know that the only authors worth naming a child after are Dostoyevsky and Greta van Susteren.
