WEBMASTER
 
ABOUT ME

NAME: Melissa Flood
AGE:
26
GENDER: Female
COUNTRY: Australia
SPICE WEBMASTER: I started a Spice Girls fan site way back in 1999 - so 9 years now!
OTHER SITES: Spice Girls Centre, Spice Girls Video Shop & Never Give Up On The Good Times

FAVOURITE SPICE GIRL:

Geri or Victoria (Does Beau count? lol!)

LEAST FAVOURITE SPICE GIRL:

Melanie C at the moment

CRAZIEST THING I'VE DONE FOR THE SPICE GIRLS:

In 1997 I sat on the floor of my local Target for 30 minutes going through their stack of the Spice Girls "Push Pops" making sure that I had all 25 of them! - That and spending all my money on Spice Merch in 1998 / 1999!

WHY I LIKE THE SPICE GIRLS:

I've always liked the girls since Wannabe was released - although I have to admit that the first time that I saw the video on Hey Hey It's Saturday (Aus TV Show) I thought "Oh My God - who are these tarts?" :$. Anyway, I grew to love Wannabe and of course Say You'll Be There. The 2 Become 1 video really made me love them when it was released in Australia in April 1997, but it wasn't until "Live In Istanbul" was aired in Australia in November 1997
that I really became obsessed with the girls.

HAVE I MET THE SPICE GIRLS:

I'd love to say yes, but unfortunely, no, I haven't. I haven't even been to a gig of theirs because they never toured here.

BEST SPICE RELATED THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME:

In 2001, I emailed EMI Australia to ask about the Australian release of Melanie B's single "Feels So Good" I said that I was a fan and would appreciate some rare
Spice stuff for my collection - here is what they sent me:

Forever promo
Hot promo
Hot interview promo cd
Hot promo intervew video
What Took You So Long promo
Tell My Why promo cd
If You Wanna Have Some Fun promo cd.

I emailed them again later in the year to ask about the "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight" and "Calling" Aussie release and said basically the same thing and got this:

A Girl Like Me interview CD
Take My Breath Away promo
We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight promo
Victoria Beckham interview cd
SIYWGF speed dial promo
Calling promo

WORST SPICE RELATED THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME:

Geri leaving & the girls calling off their Australian tour date. Also my little bro wrecked a few of my merchandise items.
