I mean f*** Starbucks (rotten, exploitative organisation that funds Israel's genocide and makes terrible coffee) but what is more interesting here for me is these two aspects:

 

1) Geri refusing to associate herself with the Ginger Spice moniker in such a high profile company

2) Geri working/meeting for months on a project only to pull out in the most fickle manner AGAIN

 

It really shows a lot about her character and where she is at with her Spice Girls days...

Hold up, the article doesn’t mention her not wanting to be associated with “Ginger Spice”! :thinking: Where’s that from from?

The association is that she is known as Ginger Spice, thus it makes sense for her to front a spice-related popular drink. She wanted it to be framed around Geri Latte instead, distancing herself from the moniker and only her Geri name. It is too obvious a decision/distancing

I don't believe that her wanting the drink to be called Geri Latte (for the time she'd have been the face of Starbucks) indicates a refusal to be associated with the Ginger Spice nickname? It appears that Starbucks didn't intend to dedicate the drink to her full stop, instead preferring to keep it as a pumpkin spice latte (i.e. they weren't going to lean into Ginger/Ginger Spice as a name for the product either).

 

I'm sure Geri/her team must have understood that the overall gimmick of her association in the campaign would be "Spice Girl promotes a spice latte", and that she was willing to lean into that for the adverts/marketing. Otherwise, surely she'd have dismissed the proposal straight away and not get this deep into the negotation process.

 

My reading of this is that the issue isn't her wanting to distance herself away from being known as a Spice Girl/Ginger Spice. Just that in addition to her involvement in this campaign, she wanted the drink to be named after her actual name - but Starbucks didn't want this to be about renaming a product.

Know how I know the Geri/Starbucks story isn't real? A Halloween-themed ad campaign would have required her to dress in fall colors. And...well. We know six-figures still wouldn't be enough to get her in anything other than white.

 

Though. It's Halloween. I guess she could be a ghost...

 

But. No. Really. I'm not buying it. It's all 'sources say'. I'm not seeing any outlets I'd consider reputable reporting it. I also just don't think any of this makes sense. Why would it only be Geri? Wouldn't it make more sense for at least a four-piece Spice Girls to front a pumpkin spice campaign? It's Starbucks. They could afford it. Also. Starbucks is a US-based brand...and all four of the other girls have done better at maintaining a profile here than Geri has. Geri's a part of 90s pop culture, but she...by herself...wouldn't mean much to a US audience in 2024. Starbucks partners in the past with Oprah and Taylor Swift, and now they're going with solo Geri? I guess you could argue she could be used in specific global markets. But. A year of negotiations and six figures for just Geri wouldn't be worth it to Starbucks. This story is shenanigans, I tell you!

The issue to me is not about refusing to be associated with Ginger Latte but to ask Starbucks to change their coffee to Geri Latte?? That’s bold.

It wasn't ginger latte, it was Pumpkin Spice. Also Geri has always been bold it's what got her to where she is, the utter lack of shame :lol:

Geri Halliwell-Horner - Table Ma...

Geri Halliwell-Horner | Table Manners with Jessie and Len...

Her husband has been sacked by F1 team Red Bull after 20 years. With this happening, some articles are bringing up last year's "scandal". It's seen as a somewhat out of the blue dismissal.

I won't pretend to know the ins and outs of the F1 world lol, but it does seem like this is quite the blow for his career. And although there's likely no reason for Geri to comment publicly, I wonder how she feels about this!

Could be about results possibly, the performance this season or something that hasn't come to the public eye yet. It certainly is an out of the blue dismissal.

I hope Geri is ok ☹️ Maybe there is more about what happened last weekend, where she didnt show up for Mel B but also looked so blue/sad on Sunday at the F1...

Seems like her Rosie Frost series isn't very successful??

I wouldnt be surprised if she will do a final tour to get some other cash to pump into her other work, just like they all do...

Nothing. They just used the scandal to focus on atacking Geri even more...
