Salt N Pepa
Hearing the news that Salt 'n Pepa are reuniting to feature in a new reality TV show for VH1 suddenly got me thinking about the fashion legacy the girls of hip hop helped to create before the likes of TLC and Destiny's Child were born. For those old enough to remember Cheryl James "Salt", Sandra Denton "Pepper" and of course Dee Dee Roper "Spinderella" when they first hit the scene in the late eighties/early nineties, their music wasn't the only thing to get people talking. With steamy tracks such as "Let's Talk About Sex" and "Whatta Man" the girls used popular fashion trends to add an unforgettable style element to their group. This consisted of heavy shoulder pads, acid-wash jeans, chunky gold jewellery, hot pants, neon, Reebok trainers and midriff tops. Ah... those were the days!
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who danced around in their bedroom singing along to "Shoop" while wearing cut-off denim shorts and scrunch socks.
