An Internet game, Nosh for Posh, has launched that allows players to throw food at former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham
Here’s to adding some spice to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham’s size zero life. After all the bad press Posh Spice got for her super-shrunken look when she appeared at the London Fashion Week and as a guest judge on American Idol, an Internet game, Nosh for Posh, has launched that allows players to throw food at her. And the menu includes burgers, fruit, vegetables and sushi. Sounds appetising? Here’s what you do: after being greeted by a cheeky message, ‘Help me! I need to put on weight!’, by a Posh-like figure, you try and feed Mrs Stick Thin Beckham as much as you can in 30 seconds as a waif-life figure appears at a number of windows on a house modelled on the Beckham mansion. The higher the level a player climbs, the more elusive she gets. The game’s creator, Nicolas Jacquart of the firm Blouzar, says, “We wanted to poke fun at Victoria’s Size Zero look. She is a style icon but she looks as if she needs to put on weight.”
