Beckhams pose for steamy photo shoot

Friday, July 13, 2007

David and Victoria Beckham have posed in a raunchy photo series for an American magazine in a bid to raise their profile ahead of their move to America.

The steamy photos appear in the August issue of a new magazine, and show David and Victora stripped down to their smalls.One shows an underwear-clad David unzipping Victoria's lingerie. Victoria tells the magazine the photos show the real her.

"I think people are really going to see me for the first time," Victoria Beckham tells the magazine. I think they have this impression that I'm this miserable cow who doesn't smile. But I'm actually quite the opposite." It is one of a series of publicity stunts being used to raise awareness of the couple's move to Los Angeles this week, where David will play for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer.

Victoria has lined up at least two talk shows, a reality-style TV documentary about her trans-Atlantic move, and in December the reunited Spice Girls will kick off their global tour in Los Angeles.

The couple got together in 1997 after meeting at a soccer game in London, and married in September 1999. They have three sons.
