America, meet Victoria. Victoria, America. Like it or not, the Beckhams are here and NBC is welcoming Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham with a one-hour special about her move from the U.K. to L.A.

Victoria Beckham: Coming to America, which airs Monday at 8 p.m. was originally supposed to be a six-episode reality series, but was cut down to an hour-long special because David Beckham got called back to play for England's national soccer team and she wanted to be there to cheer him on.

The newly reinstated Spice Girl, 33, sat down with the L.A. Times (“in a mini so short that you can’t help but get the occasional glimpse of her pink panties”) for a coming-to-L.A. interview. See interview highlights below as Posh talks Uggs, 80s hair, and why she doesn’t use a stylist.

On her $22-million, 13,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion:
"I didn't want anything too big and ostentatious.”

On how women dress in L.A.:
"They dress down quite a lot here, don't they? It seems to be in keeping to go to Starbucks in track suit bottoms and Ugg boots…I have one pair for non-photographic opportunities only. Underground car parks are fine, but aside from that, no."

On not conforming to L.A.’s casual style:
"I don't want to change the way I dress. This is me, and if people like it, great."

On not using a stylist:
"I get quite bored with the way people look the same all the time, with the same makeup and the same outfit and the same kind of hair. I like to change things around quite a bit.”

On getting in trouble for fashion:
"I tried to customize my school uniform, because I went to a very strict Church of England school. I used to get sent into the toilet every single day at school to take off my makeup and brush my hairspray out.”

On hair:
"My hair was so big in the 1980s. I went to the theater once and the person behind asked if I could flatten my hair because they couldn't see."

On her fashion line:
"This is just the beginning. I want to still be doing this in 20, 30, 40 years' time. I was never going to be the best singer or dancer or actress. I worked hard at it and I did a pretty good job. But with fashion, I'm good at it."
