I recently excavated from the depths of my parent's basement all of my Spice Girls merchandise, which is an extensive collection including every single temporary tattoo and candy wrapper I saved as a tween. Even my ticket stub from the premier of Spice World (dated January 23, 1998) survived, and is now framed to commemorate one of my first definitive pop culture experiences. Emma Bunton aka Baby Spice was always my favorite of the gang, and I've become obsessed all over again with her infamous uniform of mini dress, pigtails, and platform sneakers, rendered miniature along with a bear shaped backpack to accompany the doll in her likeness which sits upon my bookshelf.
