Listen To Sassy: Life In The 90s

Time for us to check out what the fashion and beauty crew brought to Sassy’s second reader-produced issue! Fashion story “Buttoned Up”: yes! “Frockin’ Good” and a feature on cutting your own hair? We’re less positive on those. We generally appreciate the focus on inexpensive beauty hacks; we wish the aspiring photographers had just a couple more lessons on lighting. But all our critiques melt away when we get to Dawn’s “Diary” because this staff all got to go to New York for a WHOLE MONTH?! What a dream. And YOUR dreams have come true with the arrival of our latest issue!QUICK LINKS🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our website🖼️ Check out this episode's Visual Aids☎️ Call The Hotline!

The readers have some crazy ideas about the Pop Culture topics of their reader-produced issue. What Now in the middle of the issue, and on a white background? Listen Up and Read It fifty pages apart? Making Ones To Watch of a band that will break up moments after this issue is released? At least Henry Rollins is still sternly scolding us all for our terrible choices into our current day. All this AND a shoe design contest judged by Lady Miss Kier?!

The readers have returned to produce the December 1991 issue, and they’ve got some big ideas. What He Said is out. WorldWatch and Crusaders are in. Bummer features? Forever. (Although this one is about the kind of skinheads who are cool and beat up Nazis, so it could definitely be worse.) We’ve got some editing notes and a lot of memories about Light As A Feather, Stiff As A Board and related attempts to mess with the laws of physics in our latest Teen Life episode!QUICK LINKS🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our website🖼️ Check out this episode's Visual Aids☎️ Call The Hotline!

Callers are telling us about the advertisers that let them down, where to donate glasses, and much more!

It’s nearly the holidays as this issue reaches readers, so a few things are on their minds: how to dress for a festive party; what to wear UNDER those outfits; which fragrances will be most enticing; and, of course, which pieces to purchase if they’re going full Heidicore. Outside the features, we’ve got questions about the Designer Imposters business model, which lockers an “organizer” in a fractional ad will actually fit in, whether actual popular kids are taking time out of their busy social lives to write scolding letters to Sassy, and much much MUCH more.QUICK LINKS🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our website🖼️ Check out this episode's Visual Aids☎️ Call The Hotline!
