gurl, you know it's The Spice Girls right? every girl had their own "theme" based off their personalities. Baby, Sporty, Posh, Ginger, and Scary. They've always dressed in their character when performing? notice their cars when arriving on stage even match each one of their spice themes. like??

Wow. Sporty Spice looks the exact same! True to her name she must be a real athlete to keep looking so young. Scary Spice and Baby Spice have blossomed into beautiful women. Ginger and Posh.....umm.. O.O glad to see them back in the game.

fue lo mejor de la ceremonia de clausura...¡¡ inolvidables!! Pasarán los años pero las SPICE perdurarán...sus temas no pasarán de moda: en cualquier época que se los escuche, siempre gustarán. Ellas mismas lo dijeron: quisimos hacer música que fuera agradable a través del tiempo...

I was half expecting a gust of wind to carry Posh Spice away like a scene from the Wizard of Oz! Maybe they stapled her feet to the roof of the car.
