Throwback Thursdays

Okay, first of all, I don’t have Instagram, so when everybody on my facebook feed was suddenly posting “Throwback Thursday” pictures I had no fucking idea what was going on. 

Since then, I have still not acquired Instagram because – 

1) I don’t think sepia tone is that cool, and 

2) I really feel like I should be condensing, rather than expanding, the number of social networks I’m on. 

This is probably a good time to explain to you that despite the obvious importance of the Internet, I hate it. It’s obnoxious and convoluted and bursting with idiots. 

Offended? 

Read on. 

Back in the 90’s, before my grandma and my college professor and my 11-year old cousins were able to access the internet, it was a place for business. That was it. Businesspeople used the internet, and everybody else in the world did – gasp – anything else. 

One of my favorite pastimes as a child of the 90’s was dressing up in different costumes with my cousin and performing Spice Girls concerts for my mom, dancing around on her bed in heels singing along to my Spice Girls TAPE.

Circa 1999 on that picture. I'm on the left. Notice the boots? We're fucking cool.

Then, the Spice Girls Movie came out. I died. Shit was epic.

My favorite was Geri, obviously, because she was the loudmouth bitch. Some say it was Mel B., but she was more of a cackler if you ask me. When they came to Phoenix for their tour in 1998, I was there. Geri was not. It was literally the first show after she left the group, mid-tour. It was still good, I guess, but I raged about it for years.

Then, in 2008, they did a reunion tour – I flew out to LA with three friends and danced the night away in the Staples Center looking like a whore. I’ll never forget it. 

Fast-forward to today. Spice Girls? Still surprisingly relevant. They were at the Closing Ceremonies for the London Olympics, and killed it!

There’s even a Spice Girl’s MUSICAL coming out on the West End called "Viva Forever"! 

It previews Nov. 27 and opens Dec. 11 at London's Piccadilly Theatre. 

Trip to England, anybody?

Let’s see what DIP-TV thinks of a webseries based on my favorite English Idols….. ;)
