ABOUT
MARINATED PEPPERS
The Marinated Pepper Steppers are the steppers between the ages of 39 yrs old and 49 years old. This group is in the 'marinating' spot before reaching that 'seasoned' status, still maturing but not quite there yet.
Check out the first video created by and for stepper RaRa. This video is a mixture of Spicey, Marinated and Seasoned Pepper Steppers.
Enjoy!
