Submitted by Christina S
From Wikipedia:
Spice World is a feature film starring English pop girl group the Spice Girls directed by Bob Spiers and written by Kim Fuller and Jamie Curtis. The lighthearted comedy, made in a similar vein to The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night, depicted fictional events leading up to a major concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall, liberally interspersed with dream sequences and flashbacks as well as surreal moments and humorous asides. The film premiered on 15 December, 1997 and was released in British cinemas on Boxing Day, 1997, followed by the release in other countries in January 1998. The film featured guest appearances by Roger Moore, Elton John, Jennifer Saunders, Richard E. Grant, Michael Barrymore, Elvis Costello, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and Meat Loaf.

Cherry Ames is the central character in a series of 27 mystery novels with hospital settings published by Grosset & Dunlap between 1943 and 1968. Helen Wells (1910-1986) wrote volumes #1-7 and 17-27, and Julie Campbell Tatham (1908-1999), the creator of Trixie Belden, wrote volumes #8-16. Wells also created the Vicki Barr series. During World War II, the series encouraged girls to become nurses as a way to aid the war effort.[1] Cherry Ames original editions are prized by collectors and fans. The series generated a few spin-off items including a Parker Brothers board game; some titles have been reprinted.
Gunne Sax is a clothing label which specializes in formal and semi-formal wear for young women and is owned by Jessica McClintock, Inc. It was founded in the 1960s and bought by Ms McClintock in 1969.
While Jessica McClintock, Inc., is a large and diverse style house, the term “Gunne Sax” is often associated with its 1970s fashions, which could stylistically be called “prairie-revival”, drawing on many elements popular in late-19th and early-20th century American fashion such as pinafores, gingham prints, and calico. The company was named after the “gunny sack” or burlap trim used on some of the earlier dresses.
Gunne Sax also revived a kind of “renaissance” look, with empire waistlines and middle placket, usually with more modern textiles such as velveteen. Often there was a high collar in the back with a low neckline in the front, making for a more demure variation on the medieval “wench” look. The puffed sleeves were usually tightened below the elbow, a style known as “leg o’mutton.” Many of the dresses have laced bodices resembling corsets.
Shalamar, IPA: [ˈʃæləmɑːr], was an American music group of the 1970s and 1980s, that was originally a disco-driven vehicle created by Soul Train booking agent Dick Griffey.[1][2] They went on to be an influential dance trio, masterminded by Soul Train TV producer Don Cornelius.[3] Regarded as fashion icons and trendsetters, they helped to introduce ‘body-popping’ to the United Kingdom.

These delicious and discontinued treats were moderately expensive, especially for an eight-year-old, but when you could get someone to buy them for you, you were happy for the rest of the day. They happily still maintain a devoted following on the interwebs, and a petition to bring them back can be found here
