Ginger Spice" Halliwell
says. Yes, the Spice Babies are infected! 18-month-old Bluebell "loves hanging with the Beckham boys," Geri claims, so catching the pox was inevitable. But unfortunately, it means Bluebell will have to be left at home while the

caught red-handed

discriminated against. In a weirdly institutionalized sort of way! Meaning: Hateful slurs, defacing graffiti, and workplace discrimination, all because of some God-given Titian locks.
Photographer Charlotte Rushton said people often yell at her in the street and she often feels like part of a minority. 'The nail that sticks out gets hammered down,' Rushton said.
