There are Old Spice brand versions of men's body wash out there now. My ex-boyfriend used to use the Red Zone kind. It smells really good. I started using it because it reminded me of him, and now I still use it. I wonder if they use real spices in it though?Anstapa wrote:More my speed:

I agree. With the exception of Melanie Chisolm (who has released all kinds of material on her own), none of them really showed any real musical talent. But that's not even the point. The point was (and is) about having fun. That's why I love them.chrisoff wrote:Good, Spice Girls are a group, not a band.gonzo914 wrote:Some TV show a few years back (I think it was Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect) had a poll asking which was more like a real band -- Spinal Tap or Spice Girls.
Spinal Tap won by better than a 2 to 1 margin.

Re: 10 years later...
My wife and I went to see a couple of drag queens in Provincetown, MA a couple of years ago. We had a great time and I thought that they were pretty convincing women, but these Spice Girl guys REALLY look authentic!Cranberry wrote:I still listen to the Spice Girls.
It's what I grew up on.
They're such drag queens. I love them.

Some of the best drag queens I've ever seen have been biological women.brewerpaul wrote:My wife and I went to see a couple of drag queens in Provincetown, MA a couple of years ago.

A lot of people think drag queens are men who dress like women and entertain--but seriously, how many women do you know who have three feet-high neon orange hair and eight-inch heels? It's about being over the top, and you don't have to be born a man to do that. I think the Spice Girls succeed.

Back in my day, to be a drag queen, you had to be a man. Not negotiable. Nowadays, with all this loosey-goosey stuff going on, all the old norms are out the window. I don't know what to say to the kids any more. What's the world coming to?
Best wishes,

Oh, for crying out loud. What's with this fluffy all-genders-are-equal-doing-drag schtick? There is NO way that I, a man, could ever qualify, precisely because of my gender, as a "drag king". It flies in the face of reason. It's not the purpose of the genre. A woman done up in the drag style is no more a drag queen than my cat is a dog. Such a woman is merely a ringer emulating the genre, nothing more.
