I can’t be the only one who got a bit weepy about the Spice Girls today... can I? When I was 11, me and four of my friends from school dressed up as them. You will howl with laughter when I tell you I was Sporty (Baby was taken) and performed Wannabe at school. We performed it in honour of Sr Maureen, our school principal who was leaving to go and take up a new job in Dublin. She must have been *thrilled*. What nun would not love five pre-teen girls dressed in very short, tight skirts (eh except me, I was wearing a bloody tracksuit pants and my buddy Tom’s Liverpool jersey... no photos survive), “dancing” and singing sexually suggestive lyrics in her honour?! I don’t remember whose idea it was. But I remain amazed that we were allowed to do it. #spicegirls #nostalgia #90skid #memories #spicegirlsreunion #spiceupyourlife #upsettingnunssince1985
We’ve got that Friday feeling!
