Salt N Pepa's hair?

the following was originally posted at my blogger blog:

Okay, there's a Salt N Pepa show. Who knew? I was eating lunch and thought I'd flipped channels and ran across the Salt 'N Pepa show on VH1. Salt (what's her real name?) had a weave in and it was driving her crazy. It's not her style. It was itching, etc. Anyway, Pepa (what's HER name?) is all excited about a fake hair line.

The last I heard about Salt 'N Pepa. Pepa had gone religious and Salt was getting a divorce I think. I watched for about 15 minutes and all I could really do was ask myself questions; how old are they? how long ago was it when they were a big deal? why do they have this show? who watches this show and why?

The Answers to My Easy Questions

Q: What are their real names?
A: Salt is Sandra Denton and Pepa is Cheryl James Wray

Q: How old are they?
A:Both Salt N Pepa are 43.
extra: I'm 44 so I'm not going to say "old" again.

Q: How long ago was it when they were a big deal? extra: Rereading it, I don't like the sound of that question. They're both women to admire so their entire lives are a big deal not just the being in the public eye, performing part.
A: Salt-N-Pepa stopped performing together around 2002.
extra, extra: I hasn't been as long as I thought.

More Questions for My Not-So-Easy Questions

Q: Why do they have this show?
A: I bet they get paid. It gets them back into the public eye. A woman's got to do something with her time, talent, and energies.
extra: one day I'll watch an entire episode. It's only a 1/2 hour.

Q: Who watches this show and why?
A: People who like people watching.
extra: The part of the
show I watched was pure voyeurism. They were doing what they do and I was watching. "Reality" TV is strange.
