The Guinness World Records' record for the largest collection of Spice Girls memorabilia belongs to Elizabeth West (UK), with 2,066 different items as of April 2011, which she has been collecting since 1998. Elizabeth's vast collection of Spice Girls memorabilia began in 1998 when she purchased both versions of the single 'Spice Up Your Life.' Her collection includes costumes and outfits worn by the Spice Girls.

    She spent £2,500 of her cash on a green stage outfit worn by Ginger Spice during the 1998 Spiceworld tour and is currently the Guinness World Record holder for the biggest Spice Girl collection.

   It's not just clothes she owns either, her collection includes thousands of CDs, posters and other music memorabilia from the 90s pop group.

Elizabeth West , an artist from Manchester said: "London is the perfect location for a Spice Girls exhibition as it is the city where the girls currently base themselves as well as being the location for many of their videos, photo-shoots and filming of Spiceworld: The Movie."

   "The collection started when people would buy me Spice Girl related Christmas presents when I was younger. Then when the Spice Girls would start bringing out merchandise and memorabilia which I would start buying that with my pocket money.''

   Liz West's exhibition will be on show at Ripley's Believe it or Not in London from 28th March to May 31st.
