- So, here I am, embarking on my first 'House of Style' adventure.
What I thought we'd do is what half of America is doing today, which is
going to the mall to pick up the new Spice Girls record,
but I got the Spice Girls myself here! So, we're just going to go in the mall and go shoppin'!
- Come on, gals! - Let's shop!
- Um, who do you think is more susceptible to fashion trends: Americans or Brits?
- I have to be patriotic. No, I don't know. I think it depends, probably —
- It's not necessarily a good thing [laughs]. - It's not necessarily — personally, you know,
I like the way that, you know, we dress in England, but then,
you know, I think that there's differences wherever you go. I mean,
you know, the last time we came to New York, we was walking around the shops and
[you] see some really cool people. So, I think, you know, there's cool people wherever you go.
- Have you ever been to a mall before? - Yeah, I have.
- We're hangin' at the makeup counter.
- We're hangin'! - So, how come this works on you,
and not on me? - I don't know, sweetie.
- Yeah, but how come it only works on you? - We have got to get that for Mel [B].
Mel B and Geri aren't with us today. - Is that the weirdest thing?
It doesn't work on me. - It doesn't!
- Yeah, what's wrong with them? Where are they?
- Does that mean that you're — - It's not working on him!
- Glitter mascara, to get inside your eyes — - Mascara!
- Ooh, cool! Try it on! - Blue!
Very ‘80s! I'm not a blue — Emma could try it.
- OK. Emma. Emma, we need you over here for an experiment!
- Em, there's blue here! - OK!
- Well, if our acting career — I mean, singing career flops in the States —
- I love your makeup! - Maybe I'll become a makeup artist.
- What's it look like? - You gonna get that? That's nice!
I think you should get that, too. - OK.
- I like being here! - I'm gettin' this.
- What do you call sunglasses, anyways? - Sunglasses!
- OK. - What do you think?
- I'm not sure. I thought you had a different word for everything.
- You know, in tights —
you know tights, what does that mean? What does "control top" mean?
- Panty, panty lines. - I don't know. I like these!
- Pat! - What do you like about them?
- What? - I love them!
A little bit Jackie Onassis, aren't they?
- Pat, what does — you know tights? You don't call them tights. Pantyhose!
- You know pantyhose? - No, I think those are tights.
- But what does "control top" mean?
- This is my hat, right? I'm gonna get it, 'cause I like it.
Nobody else liked it. They said it's horrible. But I think it's cute! Do you?
- Hey, what's up with the rumor that you guys own your own clothing store? Is that true?
- No, that's not true. - No? Where did that come from?
- God knows? Probably one of those —
- I'll take these home for Geri. - Wonderful British tabloids.
- Do you think us, we can come out with our own? [Laughs]
- Yeah, I know! - You can be one of us!
- I was just starting to think that this can't be a real thing.
- We can be Spice Guys, and you can join the band!
- Do you think I should get this?
- If you wanna look totally ridiculous. - Yeah, I guess.
- [Laughs] - She does! [Laughs]
- Have you seen? They sell crisps!
- Exactly when and where will you be giving us the backflips?
- Aw, I love this little thing, here. - Well, if you want, I'll do the backflip.
- Yeah. Really bad. - Should you backflip here?
- Actually, yeah. It's probably the biggest space. - Do you want me to catch you?
- Do you wanna spot me? - Oh. Look, Em.
- Is that what it's called?
- I have to do a bit of a warm-up. - No, I'm not doing that.
- Oh, look at these rings. - I'm not gonna be responsible for you
falling and getting hurt. - Now, I've been sitting on a plane all day.
So, if I land on my head, don't laugh.
- Alright, ready? Watch the boom! You don't need to hear it. It doesn't make noise.
- [Laughs]
- Here we go! Huh! Huh!
- Go on, Mel! - Go, Mel! Woo!
- I'm tired. That wasn't very good. - That was rubbish, Melanie!
- [Laughs] - That was really — you've let the band down.
- Should I do another one? A better one?
- No. Maybe we should just use the stuntman that does it in your videos.
- Hey, that's me! - Hey [laughs].
- OK. - Do it again, properly.
- If you're gonna do it, do it right, Mel.
Come on now. Come on. - I'm really tired! It's really difficult.
- I know. I kinda liked that one.
- Mel, if you don't do it properly, you're out! Right? [Laughs]
- You what? - I like the one she did.
- Are you making your pile? - Yeah, I'm making my pile. I can do —
- Wee! - That was a bit better.
Let me say something: It's never been so hard.
- Will you please tell me — now that you've conquered the rest of the world,
how important is it to conquer America?
- America — — It's very, very, very important. I mean,
you know, when we were doing England, and Europe, and Japan,
I think we probably would have had room to come over here and do bits and pieces,
but we wanted to take America, hopefully, by storm and just make sure we did it properly,
'cause it's a massive, massive place. And we just wanted to do it properly,
and as best as we could. - And are you doing that?
- Pardon? — Are you doing it?
- Just in a — yeah, hopefully, travelling every single minute of the day.
- Well, that'll help. - It's really cool because we
absolutely adore America. Like, we've been over here quite a few times.
Like, we've been to L.A., New York — - Lipstick on your teeth.
- And we're gonna visit. - And we're going to Miami this time, as well.
So, we're going to see more, like, bit by bit. So, we're really excited about it.
- If you've got girl power, Pat, go girl power! Go on, go on!
- Girl power.
- So, how important is your look? It's too important for this place, obviously.
- It's your look. - But how important is it? Yeah.
- I think — - I think —
- I think — - We both think!
- [Laughs] - We all think.
- I think that, you know — I mean, even if we wasn't in the band,
we'd all be dressing in this way.
You know, from day one, we've always had our really own individual looks.
- It's the way we feel comfortable, what we enjoy wearing.
- So, this isn't a staged thing? This is — - Oh, come on.
- We've just got off a plane! - Your regular life [laughs].
- Do you know, we have literally got off the plane and come here, dressed how we are?
- And come to see you. - So, how we always see you
is how you always are. - Exactly! You know, it's really not —
- It's natural! - It's natural, always.
- Thank you very much!
- So, [is] this like a normal day in a Spice Girl's life?
- Do you always hang out together? - Usually, yeah.
But usually, we're not shopping, we're working!
- Mhm! I haven't seen that footage yet [laughs].
- You little s--t! - On our way.
- See ya! - Bye!
- Bye! Thank you! - Bye-bye!
- See ya! - Thank you very much!
