Very significant update to this entry! ;-)

Investigated following Julien's comment ... It seems very likely that 辣妹 is a word whose coining
predates the formation of the Spice Girls. See correspondence from Yves.
Also ~
From 遠見雜誌: Volumes 127-129 [1993]
在情節安排上,玩家通常可邂逅六到十五名類型殊異的年輕女子,從富家千金、模範生、辣妹、
粉領上班族,到青梅竹馬戀人、丈夫出差的少婦、 成熟明齄的女導師,幾乎收盡少男情慾幻想典型的投射對象。
---- Google Books

... Hmmm, I find
遠見雜誌1997年1月號 第127期.
on the Web, which suggests that the "1993" mentioned at Google Books is incorrect.

Still, it seems likely to me now that 辣妹 was not originally a reference to the girl group.

The dictionary definitions give no hint that it might be anything to do with the girl group ~
Dr.eye 辣妹 ㄌㄚˋ ㄇㄟˋ1. [Slang] spicy girl (a girl who are very sex called spicy girl, slang of Taiwan)
MoE ~ 穿著打扮時髦,行事作風大膽的年輕女性。

Googling ["l.m." "辣妹"] seems to give results that have LM rather than "l.m."
经LM(辣妹)本人同意,发热照多张!!
Diff:
- 辣妹 辣妹 [La4 mei4] /hot chick/sexy girl/abbreviated l.m./Spice Girls (1990s UK pop group)/
+ 辣妹 辣妹 [La4 mei4] /Spice Girls (1990s UK pop group)/
+ 辣妹 辣妹 [la4 mei4] /hot chick/sexy girl/abbr. LM/
