Mel C.

Our Daily Grace!!! 

January 12, 1974 – On this day, Mel C. was born and the world was graced. 

Mel C. a.k.a. Melanie Chisholm is an English singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, actress and television personality. She is one of the five members of the Spice Girls with whom she sold over 85 million records worldwide. As a Spice Girls member Mel C. was called "Sporty Spice" because she usually wore a tracksuit paired with athletic shoes, wore her long dark hair in a high ponytail, and sported a tough girl attitude as well as tattoos on both of her arms. She also possessed true athletic abilities, including being able to perform back handsprings.In this period, the phrase "girl power" put a name to a social phenomenon, but the slogan was met with mixed reactions. The phrase was a label for the particular facet of post classical neo-feminist empowerment embraced by the band: that a sensual, feminine appearance and equality between the sexes need not be mutually exclusive. 

In celebration of the birthday of Mel C., Amazing Grace is dressed as Sporty Spice .
