I want to laugh because Rory and her co-author, Kim Barnouin, struck gold when
L.A.’s hottest skinny celebrity, Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham, playfully held up a copy at the trendy Kitson’s boutique in Hollywood while paparazzi clicked away.
But, wait, there’s more
“She never bought the book — she just picked it up,” Fraser Ross, the store’s owner, told The Associated Press.
But no matter, “Skinny Bitch,” shot up top sellers lists in Beckham’s native England and broke through to the No. 3 spot on The New York Times paperback advice list of best sellers.
I’m now simultaneously laughing and crying. Happy for Freedman and Barnouin on their gold-standard good luck, which their book duly deserves. But crying because how ironic that all the publicity came from press photos of Victoria Beckham holding a copy that she didn’t even buy!
Oh well.
I’m back to laughing now because this good fortune is rubbing off onto the International Compassionate Living Festival, which, by the way, you had better attend.
