Post artical about Posh.

Hi

Have you heard of Pop*****? it's a site dedicated to gossip and it is really good, although it can be VERY *****y - it always turns out to be true, actually it announced Posh's pregnancy the day before she announced it!

Anyway, there is an item in it this week about posh's facial hair, I thought it might be interesting to some of us as she has made comments about how she USED to have PCOS BUT I was under the impression you couldn't be cured - just treated (correct me if I'm wrong).

Here goes;

>> Retouching Mrs Beckham <<
Crisps advert marred by grapefruits and beard.

Toffeeape writes:
"At the Walkers Crisps shoot, Victoria was very nice
indeed. Chatty, and happy to endure more shots, even
though she spent the whole time in a bath getting
suffocated with artificial foam.

"But since the shots came back she's been a right
cow. Because of her ridiculous double boob job,
foam had to be retouched all over the veiny and obvious
upper definition that looks rather tell-tale.

"Then she demanded that someone get rid of her 'four
o'clock shadow' (her words) around the sideburn area
and jawline.

"So check out the final, retouched, super-glossy
version in the women's press next month, and
imagine it with grapefruit halves shoved up her
knockers and a beard."

NOW! I know it's very *****y but my point is...if she still has the facial hair then does she still have PCOS? isn't that relevent? she MUST have had treatment to get pregnant and although she is not very keen to discuss the issue of PCOS she really should be bringing the subject into her interviews instead of (air )brushing the subject away!

What do you think?

Been diagnosed 1993 and have been on dianette since, but, have recently come off due to high BP. Hoping to start Merformin soon.
Would like to hear from any other Scottish Cysters on the subject.

Heheh, I'm an avid Pop*****er and actually rumours of her pregnancy were appearing on there 2 weeks before the official announcement!! I did love the article about her facial hair, ohh the schadenfreude
