ok, the spice girls won...


I was all ready to weigh in on this embarrassingly catty exchange-that-won't-die between Elizabeth Edwards and Ann Coulter or speculate about the cheerleaders that died tragically in the SUV accident overnight, or even whine about the fact that Seattle is currently colder than Anchorage, Helsinki, Oslo, North Dakota, you name it.

But then I see that the Spice Girls are reuniting - CNN confirmed it.

The way I see it, they should advertise this "global assault reunion" with a slightly more self-deprecating bent: call it the "Spice Girls PTA Tour." Parade their kids up on stage, trade organic cooking tips, breast feed during the intermission...

Aside from the fact that all five are looking a little road-weary, I can't figure out how this is to anyone's financial advantage...? The Girls had a brief run of "fame" in the states, but for the most part they're remembered as a parody as much as anything...I think they recognize this, too...the pictures I've seen of them assembled on cobblestone holding flags looking like suburban moms (with the exception of Posh, looking like a waxy mannequin...) look self-conscious, uncomfortable, terribly unlike a group of women ready to unleash a comeback on the...world.

The way I see it, unless they can get N'Sync to sign on with them, they're doomed...

  1. ick. posh alone makes me say, "ick", but when combined with ginger's baby Blubell and Scary's paternity issue with eddie murphy, how can i see them anymore as the wholesome britneys of the UK?

    they're just regular, dirty-leg has-beens now.

  2. Time for you to write a new blog! I'm getting sick of checking your website and seeing a picture of the spice girls at the top of the page.

    Write on!
