Viva Forever
The Spice Girls. They were my favourite group a good 10 years ago. I adored them. I still remember: Their debut album was my first CD, I purchased their fanclub magazine dutifully every month, I pinned up pictures of them my penpal in Liverpool sent to me all the time from Top of the Pops, and my favourite was Posh Spice. I still think I have the hots for Victoria Beckham today (more like her style, not her Mrs. Becks antics)
And my sec one class actually used the tune of Viva Forever to compose a song about the spice garden (spice! how apt!) we kept at Malcolm Park. We performed it proudly at some ceremony before some bigshot MP, because at the tender age of 13 you haven't yet internalized the paiseh emotion.
Teenybopper those Spice Girls days of spandex were:
ginger tresses, high
baby stockings,
sporty trainers,
crazy big hair, and
posh unsmiling symmetrical faces. Truth is, I miss them very much.
Maybeapartofmejustdoesntwanttogrowup.Icraveandyearnforsimplicity.-And this, was my favourite song out of all they churned out. Viva Forever, girlies.
