Ah, the Spice Girls. With the Beckhams coming to America and a reunion tour announced, there has been a lot of controversy in the office as to which is the hottest Spice Girl. Left to right in the Union Jack photo are: Posh, Sporty, Ginger, Scary and Baby.
The first summer they were broadcast on MTV, I was 14 years old and there was no escaping them. Unfortunately, I still remember the lyrics to Wannabe. I took “if you want to be my lover, you gotta get with my friends,” to mean that girls wanted you to fool around with their girlfriends. I was let down when this wasn’t the case. I know Baby Spice was a fan-favorite, but because I was 14, all the girls I knew looked like Baby. Also because I was 14, there were two things I really cared about: sports and women. Naturally, Sporty Spice was the one I envisioned myself with back then.
Now, older with a few more interests (but not too many), and eleven more years of interactions with females, I’m dumping Sporty.
At least 30 times, I’ve had some friend tell me about a new girl he’s fallen for, “and the best part is that
she loves sports! We can watch football together.” That’s the worst part. You spend all your time outside work with a girl and—though you love her dearly—when the game is on and you want to go to Jon’s house to watch it, she wants to know why she can’t come. Sharing interests and hobbies are wonderful for couples, but not when it cuts into guys’ time or you can’t have a life on your own.
Anyway, sorry Becks, I am now into Posh/Victoria. Who did you like? Do you still?

hm. i'm not sure if i should take this personally....but i guess you'll all get some more space now. Much more room crowding around the 572 inch highly defined screen at Jon's.
I ended up liking Baby now because she still seems the like most British to me and she is a on a funny Spaghetti sauce commercial but as a teen I loved Ginger, she just was so mega stacked back then and had true pin up props, i wish she had never become a workout queen and lost that waist to hip ratio :(
Yeah Super Amanda! I always prefer redheads
Wow, I have a few years on some of the people around here. I was well into my twenties when they made the scene, and I was proud to call Baby my favorite Spice. Conan O'Brien thought her little-girl persona was creepy, but who needs to be that literal-minded? There's obviously a grown-up body under the faux-schoolgirl outfit.
Geri Halliwell was and always will be my favorite Spice Girl; and, no, it isn't because she's the only one of the group that posed for Playboy. Okay, it's not the ONLY reason.
