October 2004, Geri Halliwell
Quite why we did a sexy nurse-inspired, Carry On-adjacent cover shoot with Spice Girls legend Geri Halliwell back in 2004, we’re unsure. Brilliantly surreal as it is. (Her previous cover, from 2001, was set in a boxing ring, which is equally ridiculous.) “When I was thin, I felt like sex was not on my radar,” Ginger Spice told us of her ‘It’s Raining Men’-era look. “I was almost androgynous, and my hormones weren’t as alive and kicking. Then suddenly, I don’t know if it’s because I’ve hit 30, but I feel much more in touch with my sexuality, my female instinct.” Having previously divulged on The Howard Stern Show that she’d had a fling with a woman, the star refused to confirm TO US whether the lucky lady was Mel B. “It was something that was very innocent and private, and it will remain that way.” Fast-forward to Scary on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories in 2019…
