Recently, Victoria Beckham sat down with Fern Mallis for an interview. During the interview Beckham got very nostalgic. She also said that the original name for the girl group was the same as a porn website.
“There were thousands of girls that turned up to audition for the group. There were queues around the studio. Everybody sang a pop song. I sang ‘Mein Herr’ from [the Broadway musical] Cabaret, which was really not the right thing to do, but it was very dramatic. In the beginning, we were going to be The Spicy Girls, but then we realized there was a porn site called the Spicy Girls. That wouldn’t have been good!”
Beckham also went on to say how she is still close with her former bandmates. “Posh was given to us by a British teen magazine, but we were already acting like our names. Mel B really did dress scary, always in leopard print. Emma really was Baby; she always wore pigtails and those bloody awful platform shoes! But I’m still very close to all of those girls. I’m really proud of what I achieved with them. We were just five girls who weren’t all that great individually, but together, we were pretty great! That’s real ‘girl power’: Be who you are, do what you like and be friends with other girls!”
