Staging a Comeback

I thought the whole point of the 'Spice Girls' was that they were each different, that you could have your favourite and that, consequently, they appealed a wider market.

So, it puzzles me, the fact that they now appear to have shed their Kappa Tracksuits, Ginger Hair, Frightening Afro, Ridiculous pink ribbon and Little Black Dress in favour of a more, conformed look.

All of the girls have now become wannabe-elegant-spice. And what a shame that is.

Aliena wanted me to accompany her to the concert, for which she has tickets, but has since ditched me in favour of another, more appreciative Spice Girls fan.

I used to like them. I used to like Gerry, I thought she was hot and rounded. I even saw that film they did, as a child. But right now, I can't seem to see beyond the money-making scheme that they seem to be a party to. And the false friendship that seems to have been forged for the purposes of further financial security. It's not because I'm jealous, it's because I think real talent is a gift to be given, not a commodity to be exploited.

And on the subject of Comebacks, The London Lite informs me that Micheal Jackson is planning a comeback early next year.

What am I? Going to run and get tickets before the world and his wife do. After all, it's about time I learnt to moon walk.
