Geri Halliwell: From Spice Girl to Children’s Author
Posted on Apr 29, 2008 under Entertainments Gossip |
While she may have gotten famous by prancing around video sets and world tours in skimpy costumes while singing, “If you wanna be my lover…” Geri Halliwell appears to have set her compass for a new career course - authoring children’s books.
The Spice Girl was spotted at the release party of her new book “Ugenia Lavender” at the London Zoo over the weekend. And as it turns out, there was even a children’s tea party.
The “Two Become One” singer looked surprisingly conservative as she schmoozed her way around the shindig in a pink dress with a white mini-jacket, matching white heels and a white ribbon in her hair.
Halliwell told press that she hopes her book will help others discover the joy of reading, while reassuring her audience that she is, indeed, the true author of the book. “I’d love it if the average person who doesn’t necessarily buy books could discover the delights of discovering a good story. I know there is prejudice against celebrity authors but if you read my stories you’ll know they’re not ghost written - only I could be that bonkers!”
