itsjemmabond - Thanks! And yeah Versace was stagnant coming out of the 90's after Giani died and Donatella got into drugs. JLo pulled them out of that and Donatella has been extremely grateful for that. JLo wears Versace all the time and Versace features JLo in some shows as a guest of honor or actually walking on the runway and in some campaigns.
That dress was iconic and she started a whole trend so smart of her I even after she wore that I wore a sweater with the British flag I felt so happy wearing it and I'm American 😁
I like how proud she is about her different eras. You can tell she was/is happy on her stages in life when it comes to fashion choices. This is her now, she is happy, that's all that matters.
definitely had a glow up. She married the F1 boss. She grew up in council housing estate, and her accent has become more refined along with how she carries herself. It seems like she had elocution and etiquette lessons.
@France Et companies people that cant afford it? That's like richer people generally look better BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD BEAUTY ENHANCEMENTS. I'm sick o the reply "so what about cosmetic surgery?" Uhm everything?
This is a very weird thing. You shouldn't have to flaunt your body to feel confident ever in the first place regardless of your age. This kind of conditioning leads to the hypersexualization that is prominent in popular culture and media. No wonder younger women are fetishized.
Interesting that I've been that for a long time. I'm more confident covered up than showing myself to everyone. Also, who wants to shave their legs everyday? Not me lol
I thought she was like...35 when she was in Spice Girls. Not sure if she aged well or just grew into her look. I mean: she was pretty, but not the "youthful" type of pretty
Well she is a children’s book author, she published her autobiography that became a best seller and sold over 1 million copies in the UK alone. She had her own swimwear collection. She’s a goodwill ambassador for the UN. Not to mention she was a guest judge on the X factor and Australia’s Got Talent... her husband is very successful as well. She’s molded and grown into a very amazing woman.
Some people are giving her a hard time, because she has changed into a posher person. Nothing wrong with that. Her wild days are far behind her, she is now a mature woman and acts like one. Go, Geri!
Christine Stuart-Monteith I completely agree, so happy for all of her success. She’s made a new path for herself and is enjoying life. That’s what matters.

@Notre Aira weird, because a quick glance down the conscription and war death lists, shipping disasters survival lists etc shows what happens to well behaved men who do what they're told. but sure doing the dishes is rough.
I'm feeling sad about her story of leaving and letting go 😂 Oh my still has an affect on some people, and watching Viva Forever thought that Geri is the one who got in, in that box and lost 😔 Nooo Geri don't go!
I love how she describes that as you age you feel confident to cover up, the evolution of being a woman. She spoke in a way that was genuine and very elegant.
I agree. She is a proper thinker.I think she had more of a contribution to the Spice Girls than any will ever know Her contribution went way beyond singing and dancing. It was more important than that.
Funny story: I’m a director & just this year was over the moon when I found out she was voicing the lead of a film I did. Small small world… and she was amazing!! 🥰🌠💗💁🏽♂️
I was front row during the 2019 Spice Girls Reunion Concert. I was crying like a baby in a union Jack dress and Geri looked & smiled at me for a second... my whole childhood flashed back I swear. Thank you Geri for being so iconic! ❤️ I will forever be a fan
CAM not as good though! You had to be there!!! Now I can afford it which is a nice treat!! Though I did just recently miss out on a nineties piece. Though there’s a lot of it about still - just have to know what you’re looking for...
Geri was the driving force behind the spice girls. They succeeded because she was the oldest and knew it was her last chance to make it & her tenacity drove them to the top. She was definitely the ring leader.
Ryan Tan She’s 47, not 87. She doesn’t have enough neck wrinkles to dress like that. She looks dry and over civilized. Maybe it’s a single bad choice but plenty of mature women dress in appropriate yet fashionable and modern ways. Very bad outfit. You must be 20 to think 47 is that old... Everything about her is unrecognizable.
She’s become more mature and confident and poised, she no longer hides behind a loud personality.....she’s calm within herself and I honestly think her evolution is admirable and beautiful. Women are so powerful.
@@BaldMancTwat Not to mention that all the money you have for the very best food, the best skin care and expensive treatments, you might take longer to get wrinkles without any injections or plastic surgery any way.
Wow her advise about being in the 30s and in the middle between two different people and it’s sooo true.. I look nothing like in my twenties but don’t think I’m old at all
I’m turning 30 in a few months and it’s finally hitting me that it’s... going to be different. I always figured I’d be married and maybe have kids by now, so it’s throwing me. It’s supposed to be a new era in a way, but everything has been the same for five years. Well... I’m different. But everything else is exactly the same. Weird dichotomy.
I totally agree with what she said. It’s about finding yourself in a crossroad and yet feeling totally comfortable with it. I’m almost 35 and I know I am not as young as 20 something, but I still feel young as ever. It’s not just merely aging but maturing and I find that empowering.
She was always my favourite Spice Girl! So eloquent, grown up, and intelligent in this interview! PS - Yup, I owned a Union Jack muscle top and wanted to visit the UK all because of Geri! ❤🇬🇧
@Ray Patson aging is beautiful. You can embrace and love every stage of your body. Its really sad to see people treat womens bodys like milk that goes bad.
MarisaScott LearningCoach agreed girl. If I could count all the 25+ year olds at least that flirted with me when I was 13... whew. They still like older women but they like the vulnerability and lack of knowledge younger women have cause they’re easier to fool.
This is why she was my favourite Spice Girl - she seemed like she had a huge heart and really lived the girl power message, even taking risks to demonstrate it.
She’s aged well, but then again so would everyone else if we were independently wealthy and then married the head of one of the wealthiest Formula 1 teams too....... the rest of y’all ain’t ugly, just broke lol
@@Girlsplaybass haha, no Canadian actually. I can assure you my parents tried to convince me otherwise, but the flag was on the dress AND the bus... So it must be the spice girls flag right?? Lmao
this is why i love the spice girls. every other celeb wouldve taken what theyre given by the highest paid designer without any personal touches. but they all ... i dunno theyre so much different! its so great :)
This video just shows how big and iconic this dress was and still is. I remember watching the Brit Awards aged 5 and being mesmerized by these five girls. This iconic Brit Awards dress was on the cover of newspapers across the world.
Can we also have a moment and remember that amazing RED GLITTER JESSICA RABBIT DRESS she wore on the same night on the red carpet!! Both looks were amazing! I love Geri!
I’m 34 now and getting a bit emotional watching her now & spice girls then.. growing up as a black girl I felt the unity within the group & it made me love the positivity/girl power which is what they stood for. 💞
The spice girls are great. Icons maybe but it was the 90's. Let's not forget that they called their only black member, SCARY SPICE! Yikes! It was literally picked by one of the record people/team.
Sky Gabriel it wasn't about them being icons. I'm speaking of what type of empowerment they had.. Let's remember she was born in the United Kingdom so the fact her skin tone was our shade I never heard her mention how upset she was because of it..also known as Mel B, scary spice liked to roar like a lion A lot ... Idk bout you but when lions roar that's scary lol... Yes it was the 90's but look at the year 2020... Where in the United States women label themselves as Bi****s wearing close to nothing & sexualized on our tv screens.. My daughter is 2. Which decade you think is better for her to watch....
Sky Gabriel honey they didn’t name themselves those nick names. A reporter did and she didn’t name scary that because she was black. Scary was very dominant and wild. Before she was a spice girl she was a stripper. Scary gladly took the name and honored it.
1:33 Thank you, dear editor, for immediately showing us the context so that I don't have to Google and stop the video. Also is there a chance to get proper subtitles to your videos? 😇 There are folks who depend on them (deaf, hard of hearing, etc.). Thank you. ❤️
The power of the Spice Girls is no joke. When I listen to them or watch videos of them back in the 90’s and present they give me that comforting nostalgia, that everything is ok and your going to be ok, we’ll get through this together! That is hard to do on any level and they did and are still doing so with perfection! 👑🇬🇧✌🏼☮️💖✨💋🥰
chanell bruton Most people have asymmetrical features! It’s pretty rare for everything to line up perfectly, which is why middle hair parts are unflattering on most people; it draws attention to it. My right eye is smaller because you see more of the eyelid. I dunno if it’s a slight difference in muscle strength in my eyelids or that my eye is slightly deeper set or what. I can use my makeup to help even them out, though, so it’s less apparent. Regardless, it’s normal, and part of what makes you YOU! 😁
I was such a spice girl fan.. even had all the lollipops with their faces on them. I still have all the concert dolls with their signatures & the movie!!
I can’t quite describe how much I enjoyed that. Having grown up alongside the spice girl hysteria, I idolized them. Her poignant description of the evolution of girl power was spot on. I almost feel I’ve had a lightbulb go off. “Confident enough to cover up.” Mid-thirties has been a difficult transition for me. That has immediately released some pressure. ❤️✌🏼🇬🇧
the iconic union jack dress was incredible and still to date fun and exciting as it was 23 years ago. but can we talk about the absolute perfect dress she's wearing in this video. absolutely beautiful. I love the way Geri talks.
This dress was an iconic moment! I remember watching the Brits and being IMMEDIATELY infatuated with it. I wanted the doll - I wanted ALL the photos. I even painted it LOL - I will always be a Geri fan - even time cant change that.
I can't believe how beautiful she still is. I would even go so far as to say she is even more beautiful now. So regal and elegant. Ginger was always my favorite!
I’m 33 now and I loved The Spice Girls!! Ginger was my absolute favorite! I remember seeing the news of her leaving the group on MTV News and start crying like it was yesterday. I still listen to their music and love them so much! Girl Power! ✌🏻
Incredible. I was in middle school when their first album came out and I idolized you, Ginger!!!!! This story made my day, thank you for sharing. I'm now in my mid 30's and you are so right about figuring out where I fit! You are an incredible woman and fashionista 💓💋🥰
I like that she’s still proud of the dress and embraces it, even as a middle-aged woman with pearls and riches. It makes me sad that Victoria grew up and turned around to trash young girl groups for also wearing short dresses.
@@chaengsoo Little Mix are very good and very talented... They've earned they're place and by all accounts lasted longer than the spice girls.. SG only had 2 albums and 1 without Geri and struggled since.. LM have just blossomed and got better and better.
I remember that dress.. That moment in history.. That girl power movement.. I was a pre-teen who connected with that group at a pivotal time in my life.. That fierce yet fun approach to femininity is to this day an integral aspect of who I am... THANK YOU!! ♥ 🐆
This was so lovely to watch. It is inspiring to see how Geri has grown and how she remains positive. I also have to say it was inspiring to see her support Age UK . I must admit as Geri has grown up she now reminds me of a GP I used to have who was very kind and lovely. I think that kindness resonates in Geri. She appears at ease and peace with herself.
That dress was ICONIC!! I got a shirt with the flag on it and rocked it as much as possible when I was younger even though I'm american. Spice Girls were and still are everything oxoxoxo
"We found power in eachother..." beautiful statement. If only all the world did this to all others. We'd live in a utopia vs a constant competitive society. Love & Power to all. I do mean (all).🤝
THE FACT THAT HER STYLIST TOLD HER TO NOT WEAR THAT AND JLOS STYLIST TOLD HER NOT TO WEAR THE JUNGLE DRESS... IMMEDIATELY FIRED
Funny that you mention the Versace jungle dress, Geri actually wore that very same dress a year BEFORE J-Lo at the NRJ awards in 1999!
A stylists job is to play it safe because if it backfires it's on them, not the person who was wearing it
reecewindsor10 - Who's Geri? Irrelevant, that's who! JLo made that dress, the dress didn't make JLo!
@@ejohnson3131 Considering the jungle dress revived Versace, you're probably onto something there.

Yeah! Ginger always was my fave, I love her attitude. Make me fell some kinda proud of her.
Totally!!!

You can tell she was/is happy on her stages in life when it comes to fashion choices.
This is her now, she is happy, that's all that matters.
Yup.
She is so soft spoken. It's beautiful listening to her.
I love that too.
She looks classic, has aged very elegantly.
Well, she also had quite a bit of plastic surgery. She looks great but definitely touched by an angel a few times👌🏻👌🏻
its called money
definitely had a glow up. She married the F1 boss. She grew up in council housing estate, and her accent has become more refined along with how she carries herself. It seems like she had elocution and etiquette lessons.
She would appreciate this comment
@France Et companies people that cant afford it?
That's like richer people generally look better BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD BEAUTY ENHANCEMENTS.
I'm sick o the reply "so what about cosmetic surgery?"
Uhm everything?
The more I watch interviews of theirs I realise their succes is 10% their great looks 90% their charming, amazing, cheerful and splendid girly vibe.
I wish I was in my 20s in the 90s... would have rocked those years
I was. So lucky. They were great times.

But Posh spice is still very much posh!
@@darkond3523 ? Jealous that you aren't successful?
I love that she got that dress and was like “this needs more tea towel.” She was absolutely correct too.
“The 90’s was like the 60’s”
IVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR YEARS and no one has agreed with me. Geri confirms.
Nah, she just meant in the way that it had a Deep, Distinct, Decade-Defining style! Not that they were similar decades 😄 lol
Everyone was saying that during the 90s; it's not original
Without a revolution and Woodstock
For me the '90s were more like the '70s.
And I recon we are back! Minus recent pandemic events :(
“As you grow older - this is the gift of age: you suddenly feel confident to cover up” I felt that!
I loved that quote as well.
I was listening to the video while reading the comments and read this at the same time she said it.
It's the reason why Geri feel confident to come back to Spice girls
This is a very weird thing. You shouldn't have to flaunt your body to feel confident ever in the first place regardless of your age. This kind of conditioning leads to the hypersexualization that is prominent in popular culture and media. No wonder younger women are fetishized.
Interesting that I've been that for a long time. I'm more confident covered up than showing myself to everyone. Also, who wants to shave their legs everyday? Not me lol
the dress in itself is iconic but the story about how it came about? brilliant
She aged well, and not just how fabulous she looks.
GugsGunny and Posh never aged at all.
I thought she was like...35 when she was in Spice Girls. Not sure if she aged well or just grew into her look. I mean: she was pretty, but not the "youthful" type of pretty

And before people say I'm hating on Lady Gaga.... I put Selena in that category too. 🤷♀️
I dont know how other people see Selena (Quintanilla) but in the Latino community she doesn't have a specific look.
If someone tells me
"Hey Taga, I'll dress like Selena this Halloween"
I'll ask
"what outfit?
Skirt, bodysuit, pants?
And what about the hair...
Mid up mid down, elaborate bun, loose?"
You know what I mean?
So if someone tells me
"I'll dress up like lady gaga"
There's a chance I will not guess the outfit,
But I'll have more chances to guess the marilyn monroe.
So yes, lady gaga's outfit are iconic, but this is not the type of category to have her.

she's not the best singer or dance of the group, but her feistiness and gimmicks are what made the Spice Girls an international phenomenon...
True, in latín América she was the favorite, we were children and did'nt even knew her dress print was a flag and everyone wanted to look like her.

She’s aged well, but then again so would everyone else if we were independently wealthy and then married the head of one of the wealthiest Formula 1 teams too....... the rest of y’all ain’t ugly, just broke lol
The last part 😂 thanks, girl!
aaaicila hahahaha you’re welcome! 🤣🤣
I 100% agree with the last sentement
That’s... so nice. “I’m not ugly, just broke” 😂
Her and Christian have 2 children now i believe
When I was a kid I legitimately thought the Union Jack was just the Spice Girls flag LOL
carley junelle same lol
I have no words! Are u American?
@@Girlsplaybass haha, no Canadian actually. I can assure you my parents tried to convince me otherwise, but the flag was on the dress AND the bus... So it must be the spice girls flag right?? Lmao
Iconic
It is the SG flag for many!
I am 39 and I think you perfectly captured how I am feeling at this in between age. Not young. Not old.
Approaching middle age? That’s why they call it that because it’s not old but not really young either
She's a bit shy, grounded and stay truth to herself. Her 1st solo album is utter iconic and fun. Love her!
this is why i love the spice girls. every other celeb wouldve taken what theyre given by the highest paid designer without any personal touches. but they all
... i dunno theyre so much different! its so great :)
This video just shows how big and iconic this dress was and still is. I remember watching the Brit Awards aged 5 and being mesmerized by these five girls. This iconic Brit Awards dress was on the cover of newspapers across the world.
Can we also have a moment and remember that amazing RED GLITTER JESSICA RABBIT DRESS she wore on the same night on the red carpet!!
Both looks were amazing! I love Geri!
Jessica Rabbit was based on the movie star Jayne Russell
The night she flashed her headlights!
I’m 34 now and getting a bit emotional watching her now & spice girls then.. growing up as a black girl I felt the unity within the group & it made me love the positivity/girl power which is what they stood for. 💞
Same here!!! I am 30 and seeing them make it made me believe in myself!! Girl power 4life✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿
Girl Power Forever❤️❤️❤️
The spice girls are great. Icons maybe but it was the 90's. Let's not forget that they called their only black member, SCARY SPICE! Yikes! It was literally picked by one of the record people/team.
Sky Gabriel it wasn't about them being icons. I'm speaking of what type of empowerment they had.. Let's remember she was born in the United Kingdom so the fact her skin tone was our shade I never heard her mention how upset she was because of it..also known as Mel B, scary spice liked to roar like a lion A lot ... Idk bout you but when lions roar that's scary lol... Yes it was the 90's but look at the year 2020... Where in the United States women label themselves as Bi****s wearing close to nothing & sexualized on our tv screens.. My daughter is 2. Which decade you think is better for her to watch....
Sky Gabriel honey they didn’t name themselves those nick names. A reporter did and she didn’t name scary that because she was black. Scary was very dominant and wild. Before she was a spice girl she was a stripper. Scary gladly took the name and honored it.
I'm here for Geri serving Aunt Zelda's realness
I was trying to figure out who her style reminded me of lol
Yessss I thought it was just me who thought that 😂😂🙏🏽👏🏽
This meant so much to me. Thank you Vogue. Thank you Geri Horner. I'm 31 and felt rekindled by this and inspired. You look stunning.
“As you grow older, you suddenly feel confident to cover up”
Looks like I was born old, lol
Lmao same
I wrote the Spice Girls a letter when I was 6..I’m 27 almost 28 now..still waiting for a letter back..I’m fine..this is fine..😂😋
Steph C I legit did the same thing!! I’m 30 now lmao!!😂
Steph C 😂❤️
Let it out, Steph! This is a judgement free zone.
Steph C I wrote a letter too!!! When Geri left. Hahaha
I tried to be apart of their fan club continually looking for correspondence in the mail that never came! 😭😂
That dress is everything! It screams POWER
she is so classy and elegant, you gotta love ginger.
1:33 Thank you, dear editor, for immediately showing us the context so that I don't have to Google and stop the video.
Also is there a chance to get proper subtitles to your videos? 😇 There are folks who depend on them (deaf, hard of hearing, etc.). Thank you. ❤️

The power of the Spice Girls is no joke. When I listen to them or watch videos of them back in the 90’s and present they give me that comforting nostalgia, that everything is ok and your going to be ok, we’ll get through this together! That is hard to do on any level and they did and are still doing so with perfection! 👑🇬🇧✌🏼☮️💖✨💋🥰
ginger spice? she looks more like regal spice now.
hironyx well she is Mrs Christian Horner now.
Hilarious
Lady Spice
She's boring and hypocrite Spice now
Old spice
She is such a cool woman. Loved it, hearing her talking about this dress....and I do love her two different eyes, one smaller, the other bigger.
Miss Gunst agreed! I have the same asymmetry and am self conscious about it. She looks beautiful!
chanell bruton Most people have asymmetrical features! It’s pretty rare for everything to line up perfectly, which is why middle hair parts are unflattering on most people; it draws attention to it. My right eye is smaller because you see more of the eyelid. I dunno if it’s a slight difference in muscle strength in my eyelids or that my eye is slightly deeper set or what. I can use my makeup to help even them out, though, so it’s less apparent.
Regardless, it’s normal, and part of what makes you YOU! 😁
I could listen to her talk all day. I like her outfit in this video as she talking about her iconic dress
I was such a spice girl fan.. even had all the lollipops with their faces on them. I still have all the concert dolls with their signatures & the movie!!
She's aging gracefully.
thankfully she isnt full of fillers and botox. You rarely see that In "hollywood"
@@penetrasean true that!
Lol, she *definitely* has Botox in her forehead. Big time. Her forehead is smoother now at 48 then it was at 36. But, no filler, .....yet.
😬
@@justin01144 Not fair to say :(
People in Hollywood are continually scruntinsed, let's stop dis judgement :)
I can’t quite describe how much I enjoyed that. Having grown up alongside the spice girl hysteria, I idolized them. Her poignant description of the evolution of girl power was spot on. I almost feel I’ve had a lightbulb go off. “Confident enough to cover up.” Mid-thirties has been a difficult transition for me. That has immediately released some pressure. ❤️✌🏼🇬🇧
Me too 😭😭 once again the Spice Girls are helping me through life
the iconic union jack dress was incredible and still to date fun and exciting as it was 23 years ago. but can we talk about the absolute perfect dress she's wearing in this video. absolutely beautiful. I love the way Geri talks.
I wanted to say the same thing, why is no one talking about it? It's FABULOUS!
Absolutely loved this! Missed her so much when she left Spice Girls. She looks even more gorgeous now!
This dress was an iconic moment! I remember watching the Brits and being IMMEDIATELY infatuated with it. I wanted the doll - I wanted ALL the photos. I even painted it LOL - I will always be a Geri fan - even time cant change that.
I can't believe how beautiful she still is. I would even go so far as to say she is even more beautiful now. So regal and elegant. Ginger was always my favorite!
Their fashion was so eclectic, flashy, and timeless.
Growing up with the Spice Girls, this is such a sight to see Geri all pearls and afternoon tea
It doesn't fit her.
this made my day! this was one of the most iconic moments in the 90s
I’m 33 now and I loved The Spice Girls!! Ginger was my absolute favorite!
I remember seeing the news of her leaving the group on MTV News and start crying like it was yesterday.
I still listen to their music and love them so much! Girl Power! ✌🏻
Her outfit & pearls are BEAUTIFUL ! She's stunning
"That pride, that power.. that never goes out of fashion." - Ginger Spice 👏💖
My heart is literally fluttering watching this - all my childhood came flooding back! I love the Spice Girls soooo much!
Watchin this crying for some reason. Ginger changed lives and empowered so many girls. Living legend. Icon Spice.
She’s got such a quick wit I love the little remarks she throws in as she speaks. What a queen
Incredible. I was in middle school when their first album came out and I idolized you, Ginger!!!!! This story made my day, thank you for sharing. I'm now in my mid 30's and you are so right about figuring out where I fit! You are an incredible woman and fashionista 💓💋🥰
She was always my fave. I’m happy she’s doing well.
8:21 "that pride, that power- ya know that never goes out of fashion." that's it, that's the tweet.
I like that she’s still proud of the dress and embraces it, even as a middle-aged woman with pearls and riches. It makes me sad that Victoria grew up and turned around to trash young girl groups for also wearing short dresses.
Yeah, Vicky grew up to a Snooty Spice.
@@soniquecat4745
More like stuck up spice.. always hated her attitude..
Ryan Tan you're a guy, honestly your opinion on what girls wear is so irrelevant
Little mix aren't trash :\
@@chaengsoo
Little Mix are very good and very talented... They've earned they're place and by all accounts lasted longer than the spice girls.. SG only had 2 albums and 1 without Geri and struggled since.. LM have just blossomed and got better and better.
I could listen to her all day, she’s so articulate and her British accent is beautiful 🥰
Never in my life have I seen a woman talk about ageing in such a positive way!!
She's so eloquent!!! Very well spoken and graceful, it makes her seem like such a beautiful person!
I remember that dress.. That moment in history.. That girl power movement.. I was a pre-teen who connected with that group at a pivotal time in my life.. That fierce yet fun approach to femininity is to this day an integral aspect of who I am... THANK YOU!! ♥ 🐆
Whoa. Randomly she hit a nerve about the mid to late 30’s. Evolution of a woman
It hit a nerve with me too. I'm 36. She's so right, where do we belong?
S B right where we are❤️ tricky right?
@@toreycarlyle9953 I hope it gets better!! :) 38 is roughhhh but love seeing these comments here
My favorite part of this is that her sister sewed on a tea towel and she spray painted her boots. 🤣
I love that it was the peace sign on the back shown first, to establish the tone. As in, I love all of you, and only then yay my country.
This was so lovely to watch. It is inspiring to see how Geri has grown and how she remains positive. I also have to say it was inspiring to see her support Age UK . I must admit as Geri has grown up she now reminds me of a GP I used to have who was very kind and lovely. I think that kindness resonates in Geri. She appears at ease and peace with herself.
That dress was ICONIC!! I got a shirt with the flag on it and rocked it as much as possible when I was younger even though I'm american. Spice Girls were and still are everything oxoxoxo
I turned 21 in 1999. The 90’s were truly the best decade of my life. I wouldn’t trade those years for anything. ❤️
in the word of juno birch: STUNNIN!! ICONIC!!
"We found power in eachother..." beautiful statement. If only all the world did this to all others. We'd live in a utopia vs a constant competitive society. Love & Power to all. I do mean (all).🤝
2:00 - 2:02 “in the olden days you could be sent to the tower” 😍 I love naughty Ginger... her spirit is just intrinsically organic... ❤️
She reminds me of Phoebe trying to impress Mike’s parents
Ha!🤣
This is comedy gold
Laugh out loud literally.
The most apt summation! 😂🤣
Hahahaha yeah. Maybe inspired?
