Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham presented a collection at the New York Fashion show, and critics said she looked a little disheveled and unhappy.  That said, they couldn’t be more wrong.  “Look, if people want to say I’m miserable, then so be it,” she said, according to UsMagazine.com.  “I’m really not.  I have a lot on my plate.  I’m not going to lie about it, I’m tired.  I’m really tired, but I’m also very happy with my life.”  Victoria has four children with soccer star husband David Beckham and the newest addition to the family, Harper Beckham, is only seven months old.  “I’m not getting much sleep at all,” she added.  “Harper’s not sleeping that great, and I’ve been taking Skype business calls throughout the night, too, because of the collections.  I’m up with the baby as all mums are, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.  There’s not a team of people doing it for me.”
