She doesn't seem like a "creepy" obsessed fan, just a collector. She will make a mint one day
Mont Blanc yup, that's only going to go up in value...
@@dr34mlucid The way their legacy is dying, with no new music I’m not sure how many fans would be left.
@@anduxx they have a worldwide fanbase. Just their 2019 tour is evidence that they are still very relevant considering Victoria was not there
@@anduxx They sold out studiums worth of shows on their last 2019 tour, The most successful tour they have ever had. Their Fanbase is obviously not dying.
@mont blanc yeh she doesn’t seem creepy just a big fan and great collector
when I read "3 MONTHS LATER" I was imagining all her "Spice Girls" memorabilia catching on fire & Liz losing her shit. Holy shit that would be awful.
J ay LL OMG I thought the same thing!!
J ay LL LMFAO!!!! This made me laugh so hard. Just the thought of it
J ay LL lmao I was expecting the worst as well.
I was thinking that too😅😅
I do hope she has her collection insured. Do to the one of a kind costumes that collection is worth Thousands
They need to open a permanent Spice Girls attraction in London, like a museum with exhibits, shows, karaoke, a gift shop, cafe, or even amusement rides. Liz's collection could be proudly displayed there for every fan to enjoy. But also because Spice Cadets need a permanent place where they can visit, meet up, or make a pilgrimage to.
Good on her, why the fuck not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is intense. She should start a Spice Girls Museum... whoops spoke to soon!
EXACTLY.
SAY IT LOUDER
Shes no different than someone who collects Michael Jackson, The Beatles, anime, comic book heroes, mickey mouse, Barbie or star wars memoribillia to each his (or her) own, no judgement
After my mom passed in '98, I turned to the Spice Girls music which got me out of my grief.. there's nothing wrong with escaping during a time of need or boredom...
omg the shoes were awesome!
exactly
I got the chance to see the Spice Girls exhibition at Ripley's in June just before it closed and so glad I got to see it. Brings back all the memories and made you realise truly how massive they were!
If it were a male collector showing off male-marketed collectibles, such as trading cards or matchbox cars, no one would be making snide remarks. Check yourselves.
Yes I would if it had gone this far
equal parts impressed and freaked out...
WOW THAT WAS AMAZING :D SHE NEEDS A FULL DOCUMENTARY ON HER COLLECTION :D
The infamous stairs part. YASSS
SLAYY
1:09 Those sneakers 😍😍
impressive
Her collection is brilliant ❤️
Absolutely loved this. Great production value, cinematography and everything. I was a huge fan and have a lot of memorabilia as well. This was great.
as a fangirl myself this is such GOALS! youre awesome liz! keep doing you!
this is a mood it really is,they mean everything to me😆❤️
She's so cute 😀
to each there own I guess
This is awesome, i have my own little treasures of the spice Girls from back in the day. I'd love to see her collection. So cool!!!
I actually listen to the Spice Girls everyday. Oh, how I miss them...
That is so cool!! I would kill to see those items, especially the clothes that the girls used in videos or shows! Impressive collection!
this has just lead me to watch a spice girl documentary thank you
The reenactment at the end, so great
I love your collection, it's pretty awesome :)
I loled so hard!!! I guess there you have a possitive bascet case
this was so cute. she's so happy.
this woman is so great
I LOVE THIS! ❤️🌎
Great portrait of a collector and the Spice Girls too!
I love the boots! 70s glam 💓
Gosh, this is f*cking FANTASTIC!
If she was. Spice girl she'd be Called obsessive spice
Nice!!!

Spicetastic! xx
So lucky!
I thought I was a big fan haha love collecting their stuff too
Wow amazing
Omg adorable
WhY does this make me so happy 😊😊😊
brilliant montage there at the end
1:30 how can I pair a boots be SO iconic? ugh, gotta love them
The one ultimate iconic item she doesn't have in her collection which she needs to get her hands on:
Ginger Spice's Famous Union Jack Dress from the '97 Brit Awards.
That dress with worth tens of thousands.
I believe Hard Rock owns the dress and they have it in storage somewhere. It used to be on display at various casinos.
Im so jealous..i wish i had half this stuff!!
Waaaaaaaaaaaa i love you i love spice girls (viva) forever ❤
This creeps me out so much.
OMG !!! Im looking for those orange buffalo everywhere 🥹
this is so cute
Adorable:)
u go girl
bril!!
It's a neat collection, and it's nice that she collected all that memorabilia...but her attitude comes off as haughty and arrogant.
"For me, the way to become closer to my idols was to begin this collection. The more I have--it meant the bigger fan I was."
Wrong. It doesn't matter what you're a fan of. Having the materials of your idols doesn't make you a *better* or a *bigger fan.* If anything, you're a fan like everyone else. Not every person can afford a collection; or has the chance to swoop up this type of merchandise.
"I have all this stuff; this belongs to me...No one else. There are other fans out there that see that I've got fame from my collection. I've met the girls; the girls know who I am."
So what? Everyone is a fan of something for different reasons. Whether it's a person, group, story, film, actor, actress, etc. It doesn't matter what you're a fan of. Individuals connect to someone or something for a variety of different reasons. You're no different. You've met them? Cool. I'm sure they've met dozens of fans. You know how grateful some fans are to merely have been able to receive their CDs alone; as a gift or have had to save up money? I'm sure a huge chunk of their fans.
It's this "I'm better than you are because I have more stuff" attitude that's problematic. You say that there's a 'rift' between you and other fans? Well, gee...I wonder why?
A little bit of humility goes a long way. This memorabilia in a museum would be cool, but perhaps giving some of it to someone else as an act of kindness would be a nice thing as well.
Elena F well said 👏🏻
Elena F i literally scrolled down to read the comments to see if someone had pointed out how arrogant and cocky she was being, it annoyed me so much
She literally said "for me" as in her own opinion for herself not others...
I agree w everything u said 🙌🏻
Shut up. It's not that serious. You clearly must be a feminist.
This woman is great!! I’m a huge Melanie C fan!!
Dope
0:11 that moment made me spit my tea out.
you go girl! I wonder if she has the yo-yo. I have the yo-yo!
Adorei sua coleção e de dar inveja a qualquer fã das spice girls,mais o mais importante você não tem uma tatoo provando seu amor por elas,eu tenho a minha.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hi, I met Mel B a few weeks ago near the Savoy Hotel, London. She was great, had a photo with her and signed a couple of things.
Im coming for your title, Liz!!
Its coming soon..
:)
*hehe*
I'll be the little girl from West Virgina, America to have the biggest Spice Girl collection.
Not because I want to be famous because I love them and always wanted all their stuff!
I was very poor as a child so... my chance has come!
I have about 200 items of theirs! ♥
Nice your colection ist Wow 🙂😉🤩💖
Are you happy? So is Ok! :)
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT A-Z OF SPICE
Wow .
I wanna see those in person.... huhuhuhu
💙❤💚💛💜💟💘✌✌✌💖💖💖 This woman is a beautiful example
she's trying to fill a void
well spotted. that could be it.
and how do you do it?
Camille L What's the big deal if she collects Spice Girls memorabilia.
I don't think so. She looks completely normal. There's some things that are just awesome by nature, the Spice Girls for example.
Please set up a museum!
Mamma mia!!! :D
She seems like my new best friend
SHITTT I just realised she’s one of the people that came to our school talking about her artwork and what she does,she NEVER mentioned this!i would’ve been amazed
It's crazy
Wow
Omggggg I totally regret destroying my spice girl toys 😭😭
lol this is me on 2NE1
I wonder if she has the Spanish limited edition of the first album which included the 2 become 1 Spanish version
Obsessed: with herself
Creeeeeeeepy
I want to be her friend😍
I wish I was this girl
I wish
Baby Spice is my favorite spice girl
big collection do you have/luv david bowie ja
her room I declare is a spice girls emporium.
I chucked out the rest of my spice girls stuff last summer. If I'd have known I would have sent it to her instead.
What a stupid thing to do. Old Beatles memoribillia from their hayday is worth a lot of money now. They same will happen with Spice Girls Memoribillia. Years from now it will be worth more and more.
...right
I'm holding my record, im famous, i have the most stuff of spice girls... o yeah! And i am a fan...
Biggest and only collector possibly.
She's had the collection valued and it's now insured for 50p
Yes, more than what your education cost.
…she understands me …
Collector Spice
All I had was the Barbies. I suck.
WHO WENT TO SPICEWORLD 2019
Damn she crazy tho
I obtained Mel's b Waxwork hand from Madame tussards that was autioned as it was a spare they did,nt need,also 5 spice girls squeaky heads squeaks don't work I don't think now.
Hahaha! Has she met them before? I'm sure she lost her shit!
Something seems really off about her vibes...
kinda psychopathic but nice at the same time..at least she sounds happy i guess
I wish I could see it closely
