Listen To Sassy: Life In The 90s

Pam is on assignment, but Dave and Tara are bravely carrying on without her. What Now brings us such items as the first news blurb Tara probably ever saw about the Texas mom who came up with a murder-for-hire scheme to advance her 13-year-old daughter's cheerleading career to the 1,000,000th update on reigning Sassiest Boy In America Ian Svenonius (LET IT END). Jane admits she can't be objective about R.E.M. generally and Out Of Time specifically, but at least she's right! The Doors is a five-dot pick we're dubious about; Paris Is Burning deserves not just the five dots it also gets but 10! 10! 10s across the board! Finally, we close on whether John Leguizamo proved to be One To Watch, and what associations we still have for Balthazar Getty beyond being an oil heir. If YOUR heroes have always been cowboys, you MUST listen.

It's May 1991, and Sassy knows exactly what your mom wants most for Mother's Day: you following her around the house quoting statistics about how bad school sucks in this country! When she tells you to give it a rest, you can learn about Kim Frey, a young woman living with HIV, or why you should consider making friends with boys. (It's not because they have amazing answers to the What He Said question about what they'd do if they were invisible, that's for sure.) Also: hay fever, plants, vitamins, deodorant, and more than you ever wanted to know about breast discharge! You're welcome!!!

With Pam out handling a family emergency (everything's okay now!), Dave and Tara bravely handle the Slumber Party on their own. After sharing their results from the "Are You Parent-Tolerant?" quiz, it's on to your calls: one serious one about Pam's massage story, then a lot of silly ones about: other places spooge has unexpectedly appeared; what to try if your nails are weak; that vulnerable feeling when you're wearing a romper and have to pee; and a TRULY horrifying tale of a restaurant trip gone awry.

Whose voice is described in this month's Listen Up as "vomity"? It's sure not Sting because Catherine CANNOT be objective about him. It's also not Debbie Gibson protégé Chris Cuevas, though we do have a lot of opinions about the little photo of him we get in What Now. We also discuss whether L.A. Story is still worth seeing and whether it includes a baby in a basket on the side of the freeway; rate the tracks on R.E.M.'s Out Of Time; and wonder whether Christina's piece on why going backstage at a rock show sucks is actually just a huge humblebrag.

The April 1991 issue lulls you into a false sense of complacency by burying its biggest bummer feature in the middle of the island, but then there it is: "They're Shooting Horses." DAMN, KAREN! (Spoiler: this is a problem the U.S. government still hasn't solved -- hope you were sitting down to read this.) Around it, we get Christina's embedded report from a Black debutante ball in Georgia; Margie's mini-profiles of 5 people in cool and important jobs, What He Said about dating an unpopular girl, It Happened To Me from a conflicted breast-reduction surgery patient, and a lot more. Content warning for the fiction story: it's about a girl with the OLDEST MOM IN RECORDED HISTORY -- 60!!!!!

It's March, and that means it's time to start morbidly obsessing on prom, up to and including having a dress rehearsal five days out. All the frippery that fills the special pull-out prom insert feels very un-Sassy, so we hope sponsor Tampax at least paid a truckload of money for both that and a half-reassuring, half-fear mongering insert about periods. (No, your tampon can't get lost inside you...but then again why would they even bring it up unless MAYBE IT COULD?!) Elsewhere, there are tips on nail care, a creative/non-dirty use for an odd sock, photos from Sassy's third birthday party, and more! Put on your pastelliest formalwear and listen!

Sassy launched with the March 1988 issue and here we are in 1991, watching our friend turn 3! And if we were reading the issue in order, this would probably be a cool, fun party, but since we're starting with the Teen Life topics...the first feature is about a rape on campus at the University of Rhode Island that, spoiler, did not have a happy ending for the survivor. After that piece, things lighten up: Jessica revisits her old job as a substitute teacher. Christina collects a (somewhat questionable) list of decent men (and the fact that one of them is fictional and six of them are dead kind of says it all). Two of your co-hosts are divided on the quality of this month's fiction piece, "Train Date," while the third mainly just wants to keep playing a clip advertising a mail-order train set. Guess who? The answer won't surprise you! Body Talk divides a household. Body hair is a confusing Help topic. What He Said star Pauly Shore is somehow still a going concern in our day. And to the Jeannes in our listenership: sorryyyyyyyy. All this and even more awaits you!

The February 1991 quiz -- How Good Are You In A Pinch? -- has us all doing a little introspection and a lot of complaining about the "d" options that aren't available. (As for Pam's husband Jason's score...well, listen and find out.) Then we're playing some of your latest calls on such topics as at-home highlight kits, turning into the Target lady upon injury, how much we miss catalogs and pleasant department store bathrooms -- and, of course, dinks.

Pam is out on assignment, so we lined up a wonderful substitute third chair who was, in fact, also a teenager in the 90s: Daniel Blau Rogge! This turns out to be a surprisingly male-skewing collection of articles: Catherine tries hunting, Kim reports on girls who gave their guys aesthetic or personality makeovers, and Christina tries to understand what "Saddamums" (yes, really) has done to bring Operation Desert Storm down on his head, not knowing that this war basically won't outlast the month of February 1991. There's also some humdingers in Help and Help For Him; a probably authentic (read: dull) scoliosis tale in It Happened To Me, and a What He Said featuring a couple of cuties from a new show you may have heard of called Beverly Hills, 90210.

Find out who landed in the happy middle, and who ended up in the freak extremes.

To kick off the new year, Sassy wants you to wear pastels, catalog fashions, jean jackets, white t-shirts, and an alice band you made yourself. It also wants you to shave your legs, fix your skin, and buy the right bra. If you're in L.A.? You're doing everything right.

How many offspring can cockroaches produce? Why should you keep sending postcards? Why were weird hats having a moment in 1991? Believe it or not, these are all questions that get explored in our January 1991 POP CULTURE episode -- but we do cover more expected topics -- shocking omissions from Karen's reviews of Mermaids and Listen Without Prejudice; not-so-shocking half-assery from Neill in his INXS album review; a One To Watch who wasn't; and much more.

Back in 2009 Tara, Pam and Dave went to the Big Island of Hawai'i. It was a time. We recorded an episode of the Overwhelming Positivity podcast while we were there. A lot happened.

It's a new year in the Sassy timeline, and you know what that means: time to crown a new Sassiest Girl In America! The latest crop of hopefuls descend on New York (thanks to Clairol and L.A. Gear), and apparently don't slow down for photos because other than the winner on the cover, all you get are silver dollar-sized, super-processed photos of them. (If this is what we have to look forward to from the magazine's new redesign, its first since its launch almost three years ago: boo.) Elsewhere, we hear first-person testimony from staffers' bouts of depression, a wildly sexist feature on why boys find YOU scary, an excellent short story from copy assistant Jessica Vitkus, the incongruous choice of Nick Cave as What He Said's celebrity boy, and much more. You're going to need your reading glasses and a flashlight to make out what's on some of these pages, so you might as well just let us tell you about it all instead!
