Victoria Caroline Adams, also known as Posh Spice in
the pop phenomenon Spice Girls, was born on April 17th,
1975 in Hertfordshire. Her father is a very successful
businessman who owns and runs an electrical wholesale
business. She has two other siblings, Chrisian who is
eighteen years old and Louise, who is twenty.
As a child she would beg her father not to drive her
to school in their Rolls Royce because the other children
would laugh and make fun of her. She was also the butt
of many jokes because of her nose and Victoria says
her nickname was Sticky Vicky. She attended
ballet school when she was younger and did quite well
scholastically. When she was fourteen, her parents sent
her to a monastery-boarding school so she could learn
proper discipline. Unfortunately Victoria encountered
more than anyone had bargained for; one of the nuns
had tried to molest her. Victoria recalls There
was a rude command-tune, we lived as in an institution.
One of the old nuns once tried to seduce me. During
dinner she put her hand between my legs. While she was
burrowing herself in my skirt she spoke of god and recited
Lord-Byron-poems.
After high school Victoria Adams became a dancer and
dreamed of becoming a pop-star icon. While in College
she joined a band for a short time. Her dream was about
to be realized, in March of 1993, when she saw an advertisement
in an English magazine called The Stage.
The ad read Are you between 18 and 23 and are
able to sing and dance? Are you street-smart, extrovert,
ambitious and serious about it?
Victoria, along with 3 of the other Spice Girls (excluding
Emma) to be, responded to the advertisement. The girls
auditioned and won it. Victoria Adams knew Geri because
they both had auditioned for a role in Tank Girl.
She attended rival schools with Mel. C. when they were
fifteen and met Mel. B. at the audition. Emmas
place in the band was originally taken by Michelle who
opted out of the group some time later because someone
in her family fell ill and she wanted to attend College
instead of sticking with the band. After a few auditions,
Emma was found to replace Michelle. Victoria and Emma
had known each other from childhood. They were in a
play together when they were younger.
Their managers supplied them with songs - which the
girls thought to be dreadful - and tried to force uniform
dress regulations. The girls knew from the beginning
that the managers were no good. In October they separated
from their managers, who were attempting to bind the
girls by an unreasonable and unacceptable contract.
The girls spent the following year writing, recording,
dancing and perfecting their group. They arrived at
a management company who was lead by the manager of
Annie Lennox in March of 1995. In august they signed
at Virgin records. The Spice Girls had arrived.
