I think Aaron looks quite dishy in his new avatar pic - the one with him sniffing some black pussy.

I fully agree.

I'm gonna explain my adoration of Melanie C once and for all and then forever hold my piece, I promise.
In the first days of the Spices they weren't that hot - you kinda wanted them to be cos you were switching on MTV and getting ten tits instead of Nirvana - but taken individually they weren't really sassy and Sporty was widely regarded as the one least likely to float your proverbial boat, unless you had a thing about PE teachers. But around 97/98 she radically changed her look - more feminine clothes, shoulder-length hair, overall softer - and I thought she was, technically speaking, a total dream-boat. Pictures like these - http://www.tornado.pair.com/melaniec/x-mcc/gx051.html / http://www.tornado.pair.com/melaniec/x-mcc/gx067.html / http://www.tornado.pair.com/melaniec/x-mcc/gx066.html - could (still can) make me go physically weak at the knees, and I sure as hell wasn't alone, as you'll see from polls and surveys of the period. Loads of people fell for her, but like all true sex symbols she had an elusive, unconventional appeal: in a world of boob jobs, pop tarts and extreme make-overs Melanie has always represented her own distinctive, natural, endlessly fascinating eroticism. Which means I'd do her. How can Madonna honestly say she's 'Like a Virgin'? Why does Gaga have to act handicapped or dress up in veal to sell records? And wtf was Britney Spears pandering to with that seriously dodgy schoolgirl vid? Give me the pure, clean, unadorned sensuality of Melanie any day. Check out those 'celeb without make-up' howlers and believe me, she's the only one you can look at without destroying a thousand fantasies forever.
Mel gains extra kudos for being the only Spice to have a strong voice and a genuine passion for music instead of just being a masturbatory stereotype pin-up. That's why she's enjoyed a steady stream of releases (so do I when I look at her) and gigs, while the others have become little more than cardboard cartoon celebrity figures. (Editorial note: A celebrity is someone who does sweet FA all day then talks about it in interviews.) Like George Michael or Robbie Williams, she's transcended teenybop origins to become a valid recording artiste. Will we ever say the same of Victoria?
Plus she has a great sense of humour and self-irony, like she's always up for charity bashes, even ones parodying her former group!
Okay, so Melanie's knocking on a bit these days. And as I myself approach 40 I'm hardly gonna stick pin-ups on my bedroom ceiling and, ahem, toss and turn myself to sleep. And yeah, not every image has flaunted her sensuality to the full (like the Sid Vicious in glasses period was never a favourite of mine). But I'll always have a soft spot (that's old age) for Melanie C, she's utterly effortlessly undeniably gorgeous.
PS Melanie C once said her ideal bloke is someone who likes 'a laugh and football'. If you're reading this Mel, can we waive the football under the circumstances?

Just like the ginger one in Girls Aloud, then!

I always thought Melanie C was alright. She probably had a best voice in the group too.

Geri was always the most fanciable for me. Nice curves and naughty eyes. What more could a Ben want?

Your spelling is a bit dodgy but your taste is sublime.

I'm sure she played someone evil on something recently...

She looks a little like a cat...funny how some people resemble animals, I always think Alan sugar looks like a craggy old koala bear.

Melanie C and pussy. Best way to start the day, thank you.

You possibly know this already but technically the Koala is not a bear. When I was a child there was a popular childrens entertainer who had a song about not calling them Koala Bears.

It went something like "please don't call me a Koala Bear, I'm not a bear at all"

I will try and find a link somewhere.

Who'd have guessed that Ricky Tomlinson was such an animal rights activist?

I think Australians need to get over the whole 'marsupial' thing.
