When I was a Senior in High School, the Latin program at my school would compete on the state level, and we were consistantly the best. One of the competitions involved translating an English text into Latin. One of the Freshmen that year translated MMM-Bop, and I decided to out-cheese him by translating Wannabe. Here is an excerpt:
Tum dic mihi quid desideres, quid vero vero desideres
Desidero huh, desidero huh, desidero huh, desidero huh
Desidero vero vero vero, desidero siggam siggam ah.
So yeah. Anyway, mine was better than the MMM-Bop kid's translation, so mine went to states. I was the ONLY person in the entire state who entered, but the judge refused to give me first place. I got Honorable Mention.
Oh, and there were six of us that would play Spice Girls in the driveway all summer, so we always made our nerdy friend be "Queen Spice" but didn't tell her it just meant she was our assistant.

that's BRILLIANT.
I'm a Latin nerd, so that just made me really happy haha.
I would have given you first place if I was judging <3
My favorite was Ginger Spice. Because we share the same birthday. Funny how I still remember that.
All the cool kids have birthdays on August 6. Ginger Spice, Elliott Smith, Andy Warhol, Lucy Ball . . . me.
It's just an awesome day.
My grandma...
Actually, I was due August 7 - does that make me kinda sorta cool? Maybe?
Very true - I was always Ginger. For obvious reasons
I've got some signed Spice Girls stuff somewhere... Posh's great aunt was my great aunt's best friend, or something similar involving old women who insist on showing you photos of weddings of people you don't know, so they got me stuff saying "Dear Alice, love..." etc. Not sure where the stuff is now though...
i loved the spice girls... i had the rings, the gum, the pencils...the first cd i ever got was Spice world.
when i was in highschool there was this drama nerd kid everyone used to call "evil". In the last year of hs, i went to this drama production, and he lip synced to "viva forever"
best spice memory eva!
And DJRose, yes that makes you cool.
I was all ready to camp out and shit, too.
Hey, at least it's safe.
Haha, that was the point, I remember seeing them in an interview once and being like, "Yeah! We think condom use is really important!"

do you enter the contest by signing up at their website or is there another way?
i've heard tickets are going to be over $200, i don't think i'll go if that's the case, i mean, they're not exactly what you'd call a great live act...

Yes, you sign up on their website.
And great act or not, one of my greatest regrets in life is never having gone to a Spice Girls concert.
I would still absolutely love to go, i just don't think i could justify spending that much on a ticket to see them mime
I remember their first live concert in Istanbul... memories. That was the first time i was allowed to stay up past 10pm
Mmmhmm.
I'm sure you'll have an excellent time!
When is the show? You'll have to give us a full report complete with pictures immediately following the show. hehe.

13 February, so I have a while yet, haha. I'm in the lower level section (it goes floor, lower level, upper level, then whatever else), and directly across from the stage, so while I'll be on the opposite of the arena from them, at least I'll have a great view!
I'M. SO. EXCITED. OMG. I may have to break out the faux-British accent. Maybe.
Blah, boring. I love them, but meh.
I wrote about it here.
I spiced up my life on Wednesday.
Pictures here and here.
