Dear Spice girls
Yo! I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want…
I want you to know how much you truly spiced up my life.
From the moment I saw you performing Wannabe on Top of the Pops in 1996, I’d got the bug.
Just 11, I remember perching on my sofa, eyes wide as I watched you swing it, shake it, move it, make it.
The bright colours, fab outfits and catchy tune…
I’d never seen such energy bursting from my telly.
You became known as Baby, Scary, Ginger, Posh and Sporty Spice.
And me?
I became your biggest fan.
Every Christmas and birthday, I’d ask for the same thing.
‘Anything Spice Girls related,’ I’d beam.
CDs, books, clothes…
I’d save my pocket money for memorabilia.…
