Update....

According to the most reliable media source I know, Perez Hilton...

The Spice Girls debuted their renewed togetherness TODAY at the St. Pancras Hotel in London (coincentally the same spot the Group filmed their hit video and platinum single  Wannabe  in 1996).
 
Announcing the details of their upcoming Broadway musical, Viva Forever!, all five women, Baby, Sporty, Posh, Ginger, and Scary, made June 26th an epic day in pop culture history!

Because you know you loved them too.... 

Here is a set I created during finals week on a long night of adderal-induced procrastination. 

When I was nine years old, all my friends and I could talk about was the Spice Girls. Sleep overs were spent dressing up as your favorite one (I was always Ginger) and singing "spice up your life!" at the top of our lungs while the melody blasted out of my boombox. 


Ah the days when things were simpler... When a CD was purchased at Blockbuster, not iTunes and Victoria was known as "Posh" not Mrs. Beckham, an internationally renowned fashion-icon/ billionaire. Although it's been over a decade since the group broke up, their outrageous style still influences many stage performers and has shown up in current trends (aka platform shoes & union jack imagery). 


And get this....The group may be making another appearance, providing Mrs. Beckham approves. According to the Huffington Post, film producers are discussing the idea of a documentary on the Group's rise to fame. 

Unlike the Spice World movie, executives say the piece will be a "warts and all" (ew...) depiction of the Spice Girls. However, the Spice Girls have not made an appearance in four years, and since their 2008 performance Mrs. Beckham has gone to great lengths to ensure that concert was their last.... Soo pretty much I wouldn't hold my breath until the alleged documentary surfaces..

Until then, here's a Spice Girl fix from a fashion-obsessed fan. If the Band was a world-wide sensation akin to the likes of the Bieb today, this is how I would dress them. How would you? Which is your favorite look?
