News Corp Columnist Angela Mollard discusses the Spice Girls and their reunion for Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday.

“I think the distinction, I think about when I was in my 20s and I’m in my 50s now, is that life was about how it felt – It wasn’t about how it looked,” Ms Mollard said.

“I remember having those feelings in my 20s that anything was possible.

“The Spice Girls represented that.

“They represented difference – you could have thick thighs, you could have an afro, you could have red hair, you could be a bit gobby and gutsy, and people loved you for that difference.”
