Well, that image disappeared in May 1998, when Geri Halliwell left the Spice Girls. Like a butterfly, she emerged from the hype transformed. I met her at a book signing in October 1999. She was quiet, but kind, very blonde (no red in sight), hardly any make-up, friendly but seemingly overwhelmed at the attention and queues of fans waiting to meet her. When I told her it was my daughter's birthday that day, she wrote 'Happy B'Day !' in her book, then gave my daughter a kiss. I ...
