Let me start off by saying the Spice Girls were gahdamn amazing. I'm fareal. They were and if you don't believe me just check out
Holler from 2009 when Geri was feeling herself and left the group. They were still killing it. And if you still don't believe me check them out at the
2012 Olympic Closing ceremony. Pretty sure I passed out halfway through it. I just had to let y'all know that. Like Lil' Kim emerging from the BET stage like an ebony phoenix, the Spice Girls were able to revive that part of me as a young person that thought anything was possible. I remember being 8 and wanting to be 16, and then being 16 and wanting to be 18, and then being 18 and wanting to be 21. Now me and my liver just wanna go back to being 8 years old. I don't even know what put me on the kick to revisit the awkward years when my teeth were too big for my mouth, but I surely miss those days. Those were the easy days, the salad days (if you get the Coen reference you are awesome sauce!). The best days were that TV rolling into the classroom meant 30 minutes of goof off, snow days meant no school, and a prize at the bottom of the cereal box was life changing. Now the best part of the day will be the very end of it when I get to leave, go drink, and play with my dog. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll play N*SYNC in the bar.
Don't I look ethereal y'all? You can too if you wear white against a white background! Send your favorite snaps to blackgurlzboldlips@gmail.com
