Growing up and becoming a woman in the 90s



This was my humble attempt to write a story about growing up as a young woman in the 90s.

It was a dark and dreary night. My good friend Mercedes was throwing up in the club toilets and Porsha was smoking a fag in the corner. We were in a nightclub called Club 69. Me and the girls often come here. You might say were die-hard 69-ers.
Speaking of Die-hard, I sure fancied a bit of that Bruce Willis, he was a bit of alright and no mistake! I wonder what he would look like bald?
I held back Mercedes' hair until she'd finished throwing up and she smiled and said "I haven't even drunk that much!" As she spat the last of the puke into the loo, Mercedes restyled her hair into what was described as "The Rachel", after Rachel from Friends. It was very much the 'in' thing at the moment and consisted of chin-length hair, with a fringe and highlights. She looked totally glam. Friends was my favorite show after Biker Grove. I also liked The Bill.
Porsha was rocking some Baby Spice bunches as Emma Bunton was an idol of hers. She wanted to be a glamour model but her strict father was very against it, and was a firm supporter of Promise Rigns and Chastity Belts. They were so not the 'in' thing. As she was a strong, independant woman, however, she refused to wear them.
"Say, Mercedes", began Porsha, "what do you think of our new Prime Minister, Tony Blair? I think he is phat!"
"Oh buzz off!" spat Mercedes, "I ain't in the mood to talk politics! But I tell you what: that John Major was a right scrub!"
"Word!", hollared Clarissa (who is me. I decided to stop talking in first person from here on out)
The trio left the toilets and headed back to the dancefloor. Mercedes was still pretty drunk so Porsha had to support her as they busted some moves to the latest hit from Mariah Carey.


I hope you all enjoyed that. I may come back to them later.

This has been a short post, I'm afraid, as I am shattered. I will make it all up to you with another post over the weekend!
These are the Spice Girls (Take note of the Baby Spice bunches)
