After skipping the September 1990 Slumber Party, we're resuming with our results from the October 1990 quiz -- What Kind Of Sister Are You? -- then launching into a bumper crop of your latest voicemails.

| October 1990 Fashion Etc.: Twin Peaks, Muscles & Be Fri Necklaces | 06 Aug 2024 | 01:12:05 | |
This month's fashion stories run the gamut more than most issues. Do you want to dress like everyone on Twin Peaks? It's 1990 -- of course you do, and so does everyone else! Do you want to wear velvet? Mmmm, depends if you like everyone to see sweat stains on your catsuit. This month we're also learning why we should exercise with weights, how gardening clogs could be worn in everyday life, what benefits you could obtain from loitering around a department store wig section (???), and who came SECOND in the Sassiest Boy In America contest -- but first in our hearts. Snap that Best Friends necklace in half now: you'll want complete silence for our latest episode!

| August 1990 Teen Life: Eastern Europe, Wet Pastrami & Mr. Sperm | 19 Mar 2024 | 00:55:41 | |
Time for a new issue! Catherine kicks things off with a dark reporting trip to several locations that were, until quite recently, in the Soviet Union. Kim shares the results from a poll of guys' and girls' views, though what we mostly remember is what we thought they looked like in their underwear. Karen walks you through each day of your month as the owner of a female reproductive system. The fiction runner-up is about...talking to pastrami. All this plus Sassy staffers' romantic boyfriends, the return of Help For Him, unorthodox uses for avocados, and much much more! Stop hitting on your attractive cousin and join us!

| September 1988 Fashion Etc.: Fishing, Jean Jodhpurs & Unnecessary Accessories | 27 Jul 2021 | 01:06:28 | |
We're dealing with the fashion, beauty, and magazine-y topics of the September 1988 issue, and not dealing with them well because the editors have given us so much to yell about! Which garments are not safe to wear in a creek, or without pants? Why would anyone hike their giant pants up so high? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR DAD'S OLD JEANS?! We also look at the cold war between surfers and skateboarders (???); what's new in shoes, socks, and hair removal; new ads; Sassy Club; and why Neill gets rave reviews for...doing his actual job.

| September 1988 Pop Culture: Kevin Dillon, Amanda Peterson & Celebrity Style Fails | 20 Jul 2021 | 00:51:35 | |
This is the POP CULTURE episode, not Fashion Etc., but given all the talk of hair, we'd get it if you got confused. As extensions! On arms! Stats about who's dyeing what shade! It's a lot. Watch It has some harsh words for the Pet Shop Boys' full-length film. Listen Up features, among others, a band from Australia's nearest neighbor -- hey, Crowded House! And the features tell us all about Kevin Dillon, Amanda Peterson, and a bunch of bad candids we're supposed to think represent female stars' personal style when, let's be real, they almost certainly didn't. Pause Forever Your Girl -- but not forever; its "BOMB" review was unjust -- and join us!

| September 1988 Teen Life: Racism, Boarding School & Talking Toes | 13 Jul 2021 | 00:53:09 | |
Sassy's first back-to-school issue makes a few major missteps: a feature called "Living With Racism" whose white author relentlessly others her interview subjects, all young women of color; and an imbecilic fiction story from premiere issue Justine Bateman harasser John Elder. But "Where The Boys Aren't," about the all-girl boarding school Emma Willard, leaves at least one of your co-hosts yearning for some single-sex scholastics. Then we go On The Road to Lexington, where Sassy is disabused of some of its hick stereotypes; get an It Happened To Me from a girl whose house was used as a Rain Man shooting location; hear What He Said about female athletes (and, as usual, wish we hadn't); and take a trip through the feelings being expressed in Stuff You Wrote. All this plus an itchy Body Talk and a typically squicky Help in our latest episode!

| August 1988 Slumber Party: Guts, Cheese & Bathing Caps | 29 Jun 2021 | 00:33:05 | |
How gutsy are we? Gutsy enough to share our results from August 1988's "How Gutsy Are You?" quiz, and even to critique the framing of several questions. Then we move on to your latest calls: this month, you want to talk about the quiz (and you also have some notes), narcs, bathing caps, crushes on teachers, the horror of having restaurant staff sing "Happy Birthday" to you, and so much more!

| August 1988 Fashion: Sweaters, Denim & Smart Tartan | 22 Jun 2021 | 01:09:06 | |
Let's get fashionable, August 1988-style! It's time to start your back-to-school shopping, and you KNOW that means you're going to see a fashion story about plaid. Have you also heard about denim? Or sweaters? Because those get a moment in the spotlight too. What Next is also going to tell you what's hot on the runways of real, grown-up fashion brands, while What Now scales back the difficulty level with a craft involving buttons. (Don't be scared.) This issue also features the premiere of We Try It, with Sassy staffers raiding the beauty closet and reviewing things like the Conair Fashion Plates iron that can crimp a star into your hair! You'll also learn about Cheryl in Diary, and about everyone's jobs in a feature in which all the staffers try subbing in for one another for a day. We discuss all of the above, and so much more -- so many new ads!!! -- in this week's podcast!

| August 1988 Pop Culture: Lou Diamond Phillips, Guest Critics & Baby River Phoenix | 15 Jun 2021 | 00:51:02 | |
The pop culture coverage in the August 1988 issue is a bit slighter than we're used to, allowing us to get into nearly every bit of it. What Now tells us to get hype for The Fly II, Haunted Summer, and The Prince Of Pennsylvania, also mentioning in passing a comedy called Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, shrug. It also gets into John Stamos's new haircut, a Europe member's birthday, the unreleased Jon Cryer/Penelope Spheeris movie Dudes, the Amnesty International tour, and the dearth of women in heavy metal. Outside pop culture, we learn about "the crack" in the Sassy Glossary, and hunt down photos of the River Phoenix poster that the previous owners of our magazine copies obviously ripped out before selling them to us. To mix it up, the magazine gets a bevy of young stars it's recently interviewed, or about to -- including Alex Winter (twice), Paul Hipp, Alan Boyce, Johnny Depp, Annabeth Gish, and more -- to serve as guest critics in Watch It and Listen Up. And finally, Christina does yeoman's work in her write-around profile of an unavailable Lou Diamond Phillips. We hope YOU are available to listen!

| August 1988 Teen Life: Death Row, Teacher Crushes & Boys On Makeup | 08 Jun 2021 | 01:04:11 | |
When we say the Teen Life topics of the August 1988 issue run the gamut, that is precisely what we mean. We're going to start with the story of the youngest person ever sentenced to Death Row; then review the results of a survey conducted on 300 boys in malls, on topics ranging from when they want to get married to which outfit they'd most like to see you wear on a date. Crushing on a teacher? Christina has advice on that, some of which has not aged so well. And Barbara Bondrack's short story takes us backstage at a rock show...sort of. On The Road takes us to Boston; Body Talk covers exercise bands and constipation; Help has some advice about confusing sex dreams and bed-wetting (unrelated). Two extremely important departments make their début: Stuff You Wrote and It Happened To Me! And the first IHTM is about...getting an abortion! After that heavy topic, we need to wind down with What He Said about the upcoming presidential election. Tone down your eyeliner -- that's how dudes like it, apparently -- and join us!

| July 1988 Fashion Etc.: Stripes, Curls & Looking Like A Skater | 25 May 2021 | 01:09:37 | |
While the July 1988 cover goes hard for American-flag style (...and, okay, so does Sassy Club), the rest of the fashion in this issue is not overly patriotic. We're going to Arizona -- or somewhere very dry and hot -- for a swimwear spread. We're in an old-timey cottage for some undergarment looks. And then: stripes. So many stripes. We're also learning about hot-weather hair help, products from the beauty closet the Sassy staff swears by, how to look like a skateboarder (and possibly get called a poser in the process), and so much more. Stick some American-flag toothpicks in your hair -- or don't -- and join us!

| July 1988 Pop Culture: Dating Game, Aussie Bands & Cool Breezes | 18 May 2021 | 01:05:52 | |
Our discussion of the pop culture topics in the July 1988 issue of Sassy turns into a wild ride, as Dave takes tough stances on overstuffed comic books, Pam fact-checks an item on Keanu Reeves's name, and a factoid about fireworks ends up in a revelation about pediatric dentistry in Saskatchewan in the 1980s. Watch It covers Permanent Record and Running On Empty, among others; then Listen Up assigns Jenny Morris the wrong nationality but also tells us about a solo project from a guy in The Smiths. Chris Young tries (and fails) to break the One To Watch curse. Then it's on to the features: Christina reports from the set of The All New Dating Game and delivers a roundup of Australian bands, before Karen profiles a very VERY young Chynna Phillips.

| July 1990 Slumber Party: Horse Parking, Cher Impressions & A Mall Security Guard With A Secret | 12 Mar 2024 | 00:56:27 | |
Skipping the June 1990 Slumber Party means we're doubling up on the quizzes this time, which is just as well since they're both about half as compelling as usual. Rate Your Sassy Staff IQ? Rate Your Prejudices? Is...everyone okay? Fortunately, everyone who's left us messages since the last time we heard from you is doing great: we're delighted to hear your stories of life in Phoenix during the rodeo, how to use a pot lip balm without greasing up your finger, which smutty book compromised the integrity of your toys, and so much more. Grab a cocktail -- maybe NOT from South Of The Border -- and listen! QUICK LINKS 🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on ListenToSassy.com ☎️ Call The Hotline!

| July 1988 Teen Life: Queer Couples, Guys Not To Date & Outdoor Parties | 11 May 2021 | 01:01:17 | |
What was going on in Teen Life in the July 1988 issue? A LOT. First, Catherine profiles a pair of queer couples she and Jane met at a legendary LGBT dance at Columbia. Then, we learn how to throw three distinct kinds of outdoor summer parties...and we have notes. Christina schools us on the five types of guys we should NOT date; Pam's not sure if that means, like, ever? And the editors' suggestions for ways to get fit without really noticing you're exercising are confusing: there's kind of a world of difference between how much you exert yourself skateboarding as opposed to floating in a lake. Lauren Yaffe's short story "Under The Light" takes us to camp before On The Road takes us to Vienna, WV. Body Talk informs us about fitness walking, potato chips, cervical caps, and shinsplints. We hone in on the Help letters about drug-using parents, sex-having step-siblings, masturbation, and stinky feet. Finally, we discuss What He Said about losing his virginity. Steal that cocaine out of your mom's purse (spoiler) and join us!

The June 1988 quiz purported to calculate how artistic we are, but not all of your co-hosts are on board with the magazine's methodology -- though we do tell you how we did. Then it's on to playing a selection of your voicemails, covering such topics as Kiwi periods, guerrilla anti-smoking campaigns, Guess Jeans, Beetlejuice, and justice for George Newbern. Get into it!

| June 1988 Fashion Etc.: Hippies, Hat Crimes & A Hacked-Up Prom Dress | 27 Apr 2021 | 00:47:25 | |
We're talking about the fashion and beauty of the June 1988 issue! Why is "My Backyard" in black-and-white, and did it make us less likely to covet the clothes? Which panelists hate all the hippies (and the hippie looks) of "Hip Hip Hippie"? Did any models cut their feet modeling barefoot in "Big Brights," and what the hell does "popsicle speed" mean? Did you attempt to tie-dye using What Next's instructions? Did "Some Things Never Change" make you nostalgic for your grandma's style, or Tim Conway's comedy? Isn't that a co-host of The Real on the About Face page? SHOULD you cut up your prom dress? How wild are "The Wild Ones" of Coty Wild Musk? Do we still think Mary Clarke is cool and envy reader Barbara Francis's day at the magazine? Some of these questions will be answered in our latest episode!

The reviews introduce you to Feargal Sharkey, Toni Childs, Little Nikita, and the now months-old Beetlejuice. WAS George Newbern One To Watch? Your panel is divided!

The time will soon come (heh) when Sassy can no longer talk about such things, so get your fill (heh heh) of Karen's piece on getting turned on NOW. The issue also tells you everything you need to know about breasts -- or, almost, as Pam informs her moderately horrified co-hosts. Catherine's report on two 11-year-old child geniuses is dark in the moment, and gets darker after she leaves, as you can see in further reporting linked in the show notes. Pam and Tara are enthralled by Elizabeth Mosier's "Wheels," and former Hawaii residents Tara and Dave have some fact-checking notes when On The Road heads to Honolulu. Body Talk and Help get into their usual embarrassing areas (sponges! yeast infections!) before we close out with What He Said about smart girls, siiiiiiigh. JUMP IN to our latest episode!

How Vain Are You? The May 1988 quiz determined our rates (and yours) in a very scientific way! We hear from listeners about the quiz, vintage legwear, the Bill & Ted soundtrack, and other euphemisms for farting, among other topics. Then, as a special Slumber Party bonus, we all fill out the application for The Sassiest Girl In America contest...as we think we would have done in 1988. Get into it!

It's about to be summer, which means it's time for us all to look at some swimsuits, photographed in a tropical locale (St. John in the Virgin Islands, to be precise). Bright colors? Black? Some all-white dresses? All represented. Catherine also lets you in on the secrets of how models always look so perfect in magazines (it's all kinds of sorcery). Then you can go ahead and plunder your household pantry to make some natural masks and tinctures for your face and hair. We're also talking haircuts, hair dye, a whole mess of ads, Sassy Club, Christina's turn in the Diary spotlight, and much more. Put on your whitest dress, try not to spill a Coke on it, and join us!

May 1988 was a big one for pop culture: the airing of the St. Elsewhere series finale meant the dawning of the Tommy Westphall Universe! After discussing that, plus some other big moments in contemporaneous TV finales, we take a stroll through What Now. Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy, stretching as actors! Patrick Swayze, opening a restaurant in New York! Karen, breaking a Tiffany album in half! And Pam delves into the dark history of Anna Jarvis, creator of Mother's Day! Finally, the issue folds One To Watch into its one and only pop culture feature, having Christina interview FOUR Ones To Watch. Sure, we all know who Alex Winter is, but did Paul Hipp, Billy McNamara, and Alan Boyce amount to anything? Find out with our latest episode!

You're getting a BRUTALLY detailed story about a girl who dropped out of high school to become a stripper -- either encouraged or forced to do so by her mother. Sassy editors poll 200 mothers and daughters on what they know about each other, and what they don't. Catherine gets into the weeds with her advice on how to kiss.

The July 1990 issue has a lot of ideas about your look. Some are good, like the spread of 40s-inspired swimsuits. Some are weird, like the Making It suggestion that you cut off the collar and cuffs of a buttondown shirt and just tuck them, loose, into a pullover sweater, hoping for the best. Some are simply Not Done anymore, like getting white girl "beach braids" on your visit to the Caribbean. We're telling you about all this and more -- including a bumper crop of all-new ads! -- in the July 1990 Fashion Etc. issue!

Watch It features reviews of Hairspray (the original and best), Dominick And Eugene, Stand And Deliver, and She's Having A Baby, while Listen Up highlights artists with hair (Twisted Sister) and without (James Taylor). We check in on where One To Watch Matt Adler is now. Then we are divided on Karen Catchpole's infamous profile of Tiffany, and Christina's turn as an extra on 21 Jump Street. Put on your vintage party dress and get into it!

| April 1988 Teen Life: AIDS, Divorce & Dating A Rock Star | 23 Feb 2021 | 01:04:10 | |
We're back to TEEN LIFE topics, now in the April 1988 issue!
Christina Kelly gets a first-person account from a man whose friend died of AIDS as a teen. Karen Catchpole demystifies what it's actually like to date a rock star, killing some Beastie Boys crushes in the process. Karen then dares to tell the truth about boys' bodies -- not just the parts in their boxer shorts, though that is admittedly what we're mostly interested in. And Catherine Gysin prepares readers for how their lives might change after their parents' divorce.
Christina returns with the Short Short Story "What Sudie Didn't Tell Me." On The Road takes a trip to Austin (a place all your co-hosts have lived and loved!). Body Talk moves from Fashion to Teen Life, and with it our comments on its reporting on pap smears, golf, and cross training. Help has some truly wild questions we must pray are fake before closing things out with What He Said: "What do you think of girls who make the first move?"

| March 1988 Slumber Party: Competition & Baking Soda | 19 Feb 2021 | 00:36:10 | |
We took Sassy's very first quiz -- How Competitive Are You? -- and so can you! It's online and linked right here in the show notes. We each pick one question that particularly resonated with us and discuss it, and then report on our scores. Next, we play some of your calls. A few are about the quiz; a few are about how Sassy first came into listeners' lives; and a few are on subjects we never ever could have predicted, and we love them. Then, we read an email from an O.G. Sassy staffer. Learn more about us, yourself, AND your fellow listeners with this latest episode!

| March 1988 Fashion Etc: Bandanas, The Boardwalk & Bugle Boy | 16 Feb 2021 | 01:01:40 | |
Once Tara and Pam have described the fashions they were sporting or coveting in March of 1988, we critique the cover, and then get into the fashion stories of Sassy's premiere issue, set on a boardwalk, at an old railyard, and in a palette of creams and beiges. What Next also forecasts coming fashion trends with pinpoint accuracy -- thanks, Michael Kors and Betsey Johnson! The beauty features teach you how to use bandanas and makeup; then About Face tells you about bang trims and hot oil treatments, and Body Talk warns you about gonorrhea, weed, and NutraSweet. After Elise gets a makeover (and WILDLY negged in the process), we take a quick trip through some of the issue's most memorable ads, including Benetton, Levi's, Cherry Lane trying to make bloomers happen, and which Sassy Club products we'd be bugging our mom to buy us.
Then: the Magazineyness! Jane's first Diary (her editor's letter) has a culturally insensitive lede but otherwise makes us want to keep reading. The letters to the editor in Say What are probably just as real as the ones in Help! And should Sara Walker, the subject of Inside Out (the magazine's inside back cover column for magazine production ephemera) who actually named the magazine itself, maybe have been its first cover model? Start thinking about how you can source these outfits on the cheap as you listen along!

| March 1988 Pop Culture: Mack, Mallory & Iron Lad | 09 Feb 2021 | 01:11:30 | |
After flicking through Mackenzie Astin, Keith Coogan (yes, again), Married To The Mob, Tom Cruise, and more (Glemby) in What Now, it's on to the reviews. How do we vibe with the star ratings given to Rick Astley, Madonna, and R.E.M. -- of course -- in Listen Up? What about Moonstruck and September in Watch It?
Then, once we revisit Charlie Schlatter, our very first One To Watch, it's on to the pop culture features. Christina and an Iain Blair tag-team to profile a circa-Less Than Zero Robert Downey Jr. Then John Elder pervs all over poor Justine Bateman.

| March 1988 Teen Life: Sex, Flirts & Tiaras | 02 Feb 2021 | 01:08:06 | |
We're delving into the features and ephemera regarding TEEN LIFE in the March 1988 issue!
Karen Catchpole dares to be frank on the matter of "Losing Your Virginity" (and parents/right-wing wackos were PISSED). Catherine Gysin goes undercover at the Miss South Carolina USA pageant and learns secret uses for Vaseline. The whole staff collaborates on a "How To Flirt" guide…of sorts. In the spec piece that got her the job at Sassy, Christina Kelly addresses how to handle "Talk Behind Your Back." Catherine speaks to the survivors of three young people who died by suicide. Christopher Newbound kicks off the fiction section with "My Name Is Daniel."
Then it's on to the departments: On The Road to Miami; What He Said about why guys dumped their girlfriends; and a real mixed bag of Help. (What to do when Mom kisses Boyfriend is just one of many questions WE have for that possibly fake letter writer.)

| July 1990 Pop Culture: Bart Simpson, Scott Garrison & Dozens Of Recommendations | 13 Feb 2024 | 00:36:32 | |
For its July 1990 issue, Sassy COULD just give you five reviews each in Listen Up and Watch It, as usual. But no: they've gone above and beyond to save you from boredom by creating a special pop culture supplement you can tear out and take straight to the video store, record store, bookstore, and library to load up on all the movies, albums, and books Sassy thinks you need to check out. Are some of their recommendations weird or wrong? Sure! But a lot of them are solid; we go through the lists to say which ones we co-sign. All this plus a What Now with possibly the best Sassy Glossary item yet AND a One To Watch who definitely wasn't awaits you in our latest podcast!

| July 1990 Teen Life: Road Trips, Boyfriend Fights & Inverted Nipples | 09 Jan 2024 | 00:37:54 | |
We're diving into a new issue and...finding horror, unfortunately. Catherine interviews a girl whose high school boyfriend murdered her parents. Help offers painful-sounding advice to a letter writer looking to turn out her inverted nipples. AND Kim, Karen, and Mike are staying in low-end hotels?! Okay, that last one was a joke; their road trip sounds pretty fun. And there's a lot to love in the issue's teen life topics, from great advice about fighting with a partner to a contest-winning fiction story from a future bestselling author to a whole new column: Help For Him!

Summer is officially here, and that means learning how to stay beautiful in the water, and not use too much, but also splash your face 20 times when you wash it. It means spending time in the sun, and boiling a whole lettuce head to use the juice to soothe your skin if you burn it. It also means taking a perfectly good one-piece swimsuit, cutting it into two, tying it in knots, and hoping for the best? We cover all this, plus a bumper crop of ads, in the June 1990 Fashion Etc. episode!

Who Rachel Hunter would end up with after Kip Winger? How many more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies would follow the 1990 début? There's just so much to know!

After racing as fast as possible through "Boys Who Raped," we lighten up with a look at some of Texas's most impressive teen cowgirls, and another Kim banger -- this time on what might make you a bad friend. Sandra Tyler achieves Elizabeth Mosierian heights with her fiction piece, "Visiting My Father."

The photos for a swimsuit story starring Lou Rawls's model daughter Louann all come out looking brown. Editorial on mixing prints gets mixed reviews. And the blue-green beauty story raises a lot more questions than it answers. We also cover Alice bands, harsh acne treatments, sunscreen, suntan oil, the slow death of Sassy Club, and much more!

| May 1990 Pop Culture: Johnny Depp, Samantha Mathis & More Johnny Depp | 17 Oct 2023 | 00:56:31 | |
We've had a lot of different feelings about Johnny Depp, the May 1990 cover boy, over the course of our lives, and while we might want to distance ourselves from the people we were in May 1990, when he was about as hot and sexy as he would ever be...we can't; we have to talk about him -- not only because there's a feature profile on him, but because he's all over the rest of the magazine too! His TV show, 21 Jump Street, comes up in What Now as the source material Dick Wolf's Nasty Boys is obviously ripping off! His new movie, Cry-Baby is reviewed in Watch It! Even his fiancée, Winona Ryder, comes up in the blurb on One To Watch Samantha Mathis! And then the profile itself is almost all just first-person quotes from Depp himself. It's a Deppth charge of complicated memories, and we do our best to sort through them in our latest Pop Culture episode!

| May 1990 Teen Life: Pets, Fishbowls & Tortured Moms | 03 Oct 2023 | 00:48:52 | |
It's time to crack open a brand-new (33-year-old) issue of Sassy! A lovely profile of Cara Dunne, a blind Harvard student, is chased by the horror show of Karen's report on volunteering at a vet's office. Kim has the brilliant brainstorm of soliciting stories of her colleagues' teen cruelty to their moms, and THEN reaching out to said moms for comment. Christina goes to Hawaii to interview some world-class surfers about the sport. And the rest of the Teen Life topics are a rich tapestry too: we do a tight ten on the bizarre photo choice for Body Talk; critique the What He Said respondents on their stories of standing up dates; sit with the deep thoughts of Stuff You Wrote; and more! Call your mom, then listen!

Is Tremors actually a better movie than its marketing would have you believe? Will new Young Guns make the Young Guns sequel more compelling than the original? Who exactly is ruining the scene outside Grateful Dead shows? And why didn't Jason Priestley talk to Christina -- surely Sister Kate couldn't be keeping him that busy?

The April 1990 issue may have fewer Teen Life features, but what they lack in number they make up for in discussion value. Mike counsels us on how not to talk to guys. A story on an anorexic girl basically leaves her out entirely. Christina is stunned to learn that dolphins...may not want to swim with humans? All this and more, from Gilda Marx to the family restaurant Dave is deprived from visiting, awaits you in our April 1990 Teen Life episode!

The March 1990 quiz dares readers to "Rate Your Self-Centeredness," and we dropped everything to do a deep analysis on life's main characters: us!

Sassy's second birthday coincides with prom, and this issue is on it, showing you how to get ready (with...a bodybuilding magazine?) and one ad full of Merry Go Round's weirdest dresses. There's also a great spread on Audrey Hepburn as a fashion muse, and a weird spread on environmentally conscious fashion that doesn't quite think things through. We're also learning which natural beauty products passed Sassy editors' testing, what Climax Springs is, and how friggin' many soap stars had their own 900 numbers in this era.

| March 1990 Teen Life: One-Night Stands, Pick-Up Lines & Mother Teresa | 13 Jun 2023 | 00:48:43 | |
Sassy embarks upon its third year with a fun, kicky feature on a girl whose parents committed her to a mental institution for what sure seem like spurious reasons. Christina gets heteronormative about one-night-stands, starting with the assumption that you, a girl, might not want to have one. A list of the 20 coolest women hasn't aged well the whole way through (although "Mom" probably still rocks). All this plus another weird short story, Young MC abandoning his whole ethos to pretend he doesn't use pick-up lines, all the ginseng news you can handle, and much much more!
