So, Spice Girls have gone all fashionista darlings!!!

It’s been wonderful collaborating with Roberto Cavalli on our tour wardrobe. We went to his Menswear fashion show on Monday. They flew us over in a private jet; it was such fun and glamourous, and the clothes were gorgeous.

Okay, I have to be honest. I was hoping to check out the eye candy and stare at hot male models but they weren’t my cup of tea. I like my man to have bit more meat on his bones.

Anyway, it was a laugh hanging with the girls. We got some free clothes from Roberto, which is always nice. I’m grateful I got a snuggly coat which I can wear in New York. We are off shortly to the east coast of the USA with the tour.

It’s all going so quickly. We have four gigs left at The O2 and then it’s Manchester. God, this is the last time the Brits will get to see the Spiceys. I am trying to enjoy every last minute. In fact, I did the splits on stage last night, in the “Go Geri” moment. It made the girls laugh.

So it’s 10.30pm and I got home half an hour ago. We just did a run through of the show; it’s feeling really good. It’s hard to tell u without giving too much away… but Simon Fuller, our manager, came down and he was blown away. I think we might surprise a few people. Actually, I never thought I’d say this (because I wasn’t part of the group when it was conceived so it was hard to be objective) but Holler is white hot. That’s all I’m saying otherwise the girls will kill me.

Okay, so backstage… it’s amazing to see how much goes into making a show – lights, catering, dressers, sounds, engineers, crew – it’s like a travelling circus.

I actually feel like I’m in the Spice bubble… we are encapsulated in this world where we are just immersed in each other’s lives constantly.
Just before the run through of the show this morning, Mel B, Victoria and I even went to the loo together… in separate cubicles, obviously!

But of course… there’s also my daughter Bluebell. She loves hanging with the Beckham boys. Cruz and Bluebell have play dates, and Romeo – well, he is just gorgeous with her. Actually, it was a beautiful moment when we were rehearsing the other day and all of our kids were playing on the stage at the same time. It made me smile.

As you probably know, Mel B was in the live final of Dancing With The Stars and we surprised her on Monday down at the show. She was so shocked, it’s the first time we’ve ever seen her quiet! She was with us in rehearsals yesterday morning and then went to the studio in evening for the results show. She SO should have won… I’m very disappointed. But we are all so incredibly proud of her. You’re a winner to us Mel!

Okay, I have to go to bed in a bit as we are working really hard on the show and I need to get some rest. If you have a ticket for the tour, you really are in for a treat. Get ready to party!

So, I am sitting in the rehearsal studio on a lunch break. We’ve just finished rehearsing Who Do You Think You Are. No, I’m not going to tell you any details. You’ll just have to wait and see! It’s a lot of fun.

Beau is sitting opposite me on Emma’s lap, giving a smile.

We’re working hard and it’s like we’ve never been apart. I really like it when we’re singing in harmony with the band. It’s funny that ten years on each of us still remembers our harmony lines. It’s like riding a bike – you just don’t forget. It’s like it’s ingrained in us.

What else can I tell you? Cruz has been looking for a pump to blow up his rocket and now he’s trying on Melanie C’s hoodie.

Melanie C is definitely embracing her Sporty roots today in a fetching pair of tracky bottoms. Looking gorgeous! Actually, that’s Bluebell’s new favourite word.

Bluebell is on her way down here in a bit. She keeps on picking up a microphone, so it’s like the Waltons on tour with babies and husbands all around. Jade (Emma’s partner) is the perfect daddy. I can tell he loves being a father.

I’ve gotta tell you, it’s been the most wonderful experience being back in Spice World. I love being part of a group and I feel this experience has done exactly what I had hoped. It has reunited us and made our friendship stronger. We have a bond that we will share for the rest of our lives.

Let me tell you, the Spice Girls are now Spice Women – full, sensual and stronger through their life experiences. It’s fantastic to be around the humour, and although the pressure is on, being part of a group is a wonderful thing. I receive a lot of support and encouragement from the other girls.

We are definitely a democracy. Every morning we check in with each other and we discuss the decisions that have to be made.

We have a great band. Melanie C picked them and she cracks the whip when it comes to vocal warm-ups.

Okay, I think that’s enough for now. See you very soon… one month to go!
