Ginger Spice and Madhav Kumar Nepal

From the 12th October issue of The New Yorker.

After sitting down, [pop singer and former Spice Girl Geri] Halliwell said that she had recently been to Nepal, where she met the Prime Minister, Madhav Kumar Nepal. “You know guys—you have to nurture them a bit,” she said. She had given the Prime Minister a maternal pinch on the cheek. “He appreciated it,” she said. “And he told me he was scared. He had been Prime Minister for only three months.” On her cell phone she pulled up a shot of herself, in a turquoise sari, with her arm around the diminutive, smiling head of state, and said, “With collective energy, we can mother men into doing the right thing.”

Update: I found pictures.
