Kanye West was sadly absent from last night’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show—where he was supposed to perform—at the Kodak Theater in L.A. Helping to fill the "College Dropout"’s void was a spectacular occurrence—a Spice Girls reunion. By the looks of this picture on the red carpet, it probably shouldn't happen again anytime soon. (It will.) The photo of the ladies, who presumably performed to promote the recent release of a greatest hits album, is, we think, kind of hysterical and very telling. It seems a lot has changed in the decade following their pop apex, "If You Want to Be My Lover." Scary looks posh; Baby looks scary; Sporty looks like a character in Working Girl; Ginger looks, well, the same—but older. Then, of course, there’s Posh, who appears either truly mortified to be standing next to her former band mates or heavily sedated. Or both.

For anyone out there who plans to pull off wearing a pair of 3 or 4 inch heels all day during pictures and all night long at their wedding, I offer you mad props. Apologies to Manolo and company, but heels KILL ME. I'm talking Quentin Tarantino, mad violence sort of pain. There's no way in hell I'd even consider keeping heels on all night without making plans to leave the reception in a wheelchair.

High-wedge thongs, 3 1/4" heel, they're genius.

Granted, they are kind of ugly, but they clock in at a whopping three and a quarter inches of fierce, flip flop heel height. For a girl like me who is 5'4" (OK, I'm 5'3", but I lie about it so much, I've convinced myself I'm officially one inch taller), these are just what the doctor ordered.
