Playboy May 1998

COVER STORY Sugar, spice and everything nice: That's what Ginger is made of. The Spice Girls' unofficial ringleader, Ginger (born Geraldine Estelle Halliwell) says, "My largest muscle and my biggest asset is my brain." You may also note a few of Ginger's other-assets in this month's pictorial, which proves that Spice is the variety of life. Thanks to Richard Young and Rex USA Ltd. for our cover photo. 7 PLAYBILL 11 THE PLAYBOY PRESIDENT—editorial HUGH M.
