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!

Some of the readers in charge of fashion freak it, like stylist Daisy von Furth's fun and quirky denim looks. Others, like Shelly Franklin, went to a Gap and grabbed the first seven garments she saw. The two co-exist uneasily over 12 pages in the December 1990 issue's one and only fashion feature. (Which stylist did you prefer? Tell us at 720-SASSY-GO!) Beyond that, we get a makeup enthusiast getting mentored by an expert; an essay about how weight-related beauty standards change over time, an absolutely cuckoo Making It project, and much much more.

Our second episode on Sassy's first reader-produced issue covers its pop culture topics. Whose mom surprisingly liked Das Damen? Is "gnard" going to catch on as a slang term? And is Nathan Limbaugh...okay? There's also movie reviews, a One To Watch who may or may not be, a profile of Faith No More's Mike Patton, and a bushel AND a peck of a Mystic, CT scribe named Eva Peck.

The staff at Sassy had impeccable instincts for building its community -- and in the days when doing so required going to the post office to put actual paper goods in the actual mail, too -- and there's no better proof of their success than its first-ever reader-produced issue. The proof that some 80+ real readers made the issue happen is that...you know, the photos are kind of dark. Also that a lead feature about parents doing cocaine and the effect of their drug use on their 10-year-old son showing a few more gaps than we typically like to see in a piece purporting to be factual. But is the nitpicking by at least one of your co-hosts due in large part to the fact that she's jealous of all her then-peers who, unlike her, WEREN'T too scared to apply? Yes, yes it is. The readers bring us all the usual departments, plus a new one (Green Gossip) and the return of On The Road and a super-sized Stuff WE Wrote: join us as we leap in to the Teen Life topics of the December 1990 issue!

How spacy are we? According to Sassy's November 1990 quiz, the answer is "possibly a lot spacier than some of us would care to admit" or "just about as spacy as we thought." Then, because we spaced on our last combined Slumber Party episode, we go back in time to take the September quiz and Rate [Our] Boy-Obsessiveness. (If you predicted that Pam's score would require a whole different scale, good job: you've REALLY been listening.) Then we move on to some of your latest calls, which cover topics including how a driver's ed teacher might work smarter, not harder; how to ruin a pair of overalls with a single trip to the bathroom; and how messy a woman's first-date meal can be without driving her beau away.

The weather's getting chillier, and the fashion (etc.) of the November 1990 knows it. Hence a whole story about brown coats, and a spread to help you source all the goth-y looks your black heart desires. Mary brings us a report on her time auditing classes at the Vidal Sassoon Academy and actually getting to cut real (mannequin) hair. Jane tells a confusing story about getting mugged, a pet store owner's daughter sticks up for her mom (we're not having it), and much much more in an episode that REALLY smells like Teen Spirit!

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.

More so than usual, the Teen Life topics of the October 1990 issue are here to help you figure out your life. What might a wise older person tell you about trying to get your driver's license? What jobs are so weird you might actually want to do them? How do you heal from a parent's substance use issues? Then there's Amy, who writes an It Happened To Me about her internship at Mad magazine, not knowing what hangs us all up is her throwaway detail about spending the summer BEFORE that working at a crouton factory, but...did she? Really? Or is she just putting on airs (and seasoning)? Tampon durability, the first Sassiest Boy In America, and more all await you in our latest episode!

Shop like a model; dress like an elf!
There's a lot of pop culture in the September 1990 issue that will need revision sooner or later. Like: a report on the cancellation of 21 Jump Street, just weeks before its revival in syndication. And: making James Marshall One To Watch off the strength of one season of Twin Peaks, before he went off the grid. Or: an extensive feature on The Hothouse Flowers, perhaps to justify the expense of whoever paid for Christina to go to Dublin and interview them. And while giving Die Hard 2 a mere 2 stars is, of course, a matter to taste...it's not taste we share. All this and much more awaits you in our latest podcast!

The first thing you need to know about this episode is that there was an issue with one of the tracks. It doesn't matter who did what: the result is that Dave had to use a backup to the backup, which means this is going to be a more rough-and-ready version of the podcast than you're used to. We're sorry about that, but hey: it'll be all the more enjoyable when the next episode reaches you with its usual level of polish. MOVING ON: the September issue's Teen Life topics include gangs, puppy mills, and a bedroom painting project your parents are probably never going to let you do. Fortunately, we also get a report from Kim about which boy-meeting strategies worked best at a recent party attended by several eligible Sassy staffers. We'll also touch on braces, veins, a conversion to Islam in RECORD speed, which girls are allowed to dress "provocatively," and an annoyingly brief Stuff You Wrote.

Considering that Pam has not seen a single one of the five movies reviewed in the August 1990 Watch It, we find an awful lot to say about them. But that's not all! There's also dolphins, Butt-head, Goo, spack, Barbie, garbage, Sondheim, Michael Rank, Michael Rank, and Michael Rank -- and it's all stuck together with God's glue. If that's not Enuff? Z'Nuff!
