CW: sexual assault. We're cracking open the June 1990 issue and kicking off with a discussion of its Teen Life topics! 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." Tooth brushing techniques, cracking knees, an Alien Nation alien, Stuff You Wrote going 5 for 5 with pure gold -- this episode's got it all!

The May 1990 Sassy quiz invites us to Rate [Our] Embarrassability, almost as though they don't know the kinds of things we have disclosed on this podcast. And then, we're taking your calls, including some of YOUR embarrassing disclosures! What got up a listener's child's nose, and how did it get out? What are your phones recommending you buy, perhaps based on your listening to us? HOW MANY of you want to hit up your local Olive Garden with David T. Cole?! We cover all this and much much more in the May 1990 Slumber Party!

We still have a little left to say about Johnny Depp -- he is our cover boy, after all -- but then we get into the fashion (etc.) of the May 1990 issue. 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! Put on your Artcarved class ring and get into it!

๐ Notes To Boysย at RareBirdLit.com
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 fiancรฉe, 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!

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!

After sharing our results in the Rate Your Movie Knowledge quiz, we're playing your 20+ calls, on subjects ranging from the sound of dot matrix printers, how Jason Priestley's cuteness defies pixelation, and what criteria you must meet to join Dave at The Olive Garden. All this and more in our latest loopy episode!

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? We answer all these questions and tons more you literally never could have anticipated in our latest pop culture episode!

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! In fact, because the voicemailbox was a bit empty this time around -- maybe the heat wave fried your phones? -- that we were able to focus on our responses to the quiz for twice as long as we normally do! Then, we flipped over to your calls on topics including Buns Of Steel, a Sassy cameo in Christmas Vacation, how far back our lives on the internet actually exist, among many other concerns. Take a break from listening to your own inner monologue and listen to us instead!

๐ Pam is going to be on The Scriptnotes podcast
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. Put on your most diaphanous sleeves and get into it!

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!

First off, we take February 1990 "Rate Your Willpower" quiz. If you think you may know what kind of tangents that leads us to, you are almost certainly wrong. Then we play your latest voicemails, in which you tell us about your own experiments with Sassy's beauty hacks, your musings about which kind of medical procedure would be least terrible if interrupted by an earthquake, what it's like to get scammed by a poetry contest, and so much more!

๐ข Tara's post onย The Connersย at Cracked.com
The February 1990 What Now claims to be a "Low-Venom Edition," then lashes out at Combos and Child's Play for no good reason on the very same page, so we're not sure what to believe. (We aren't going to "bail" on it, though we now know that's a slang term we could use if we did!) After we learn about Alyssa Milano's Japanese pop album, illicit Norwegian skateboard imports, and so much more, it's on to Watch It, where Courage Mountain (a Heidi take with Charlie Sheen, of all people) and The War Of The Roses get surprisingly good reviews, and Steel Magnolias gets one that's surprisingly mid?! Neill renews his Australian passport with a rave about Max Q, the self-titled Michael Hutchence side project dรฉbut; we play you some so that you know Neill is wrong, as usual. One To Watch notches another one for the W column, and then Mike makes up a person who hates rap, gets mad at them, and tries to get them on board by profiling four positive artists. Which one sideswipes Public Enemy? The answer may surprise you! Listen and enjoy!

Thirteen months have gone by since Sassy crowned Rinnan its first Sassiest Girl In America, so it's time to pick a new one from a notably smaller field of finalists. Did we agree with the judges' choice? (Would we bring it up here if we did?) Catherine reports on a woman who was divorced before she was old enough to vote. Kim France makes her debut with a confusing piece on "dude defects." Karen tries her hand at fiction again. All this, plus What He Said about fantasy women, an It Happened To Me that's more It Happened To Dad, a Stuff You Wrote that inspires musical interpretation, and much much more!

Yes, we know it's spring and we're talking about the winter holidays, but that's just how things shake out sometimes. After the "Rate Your Ho-Ho-Ho-ness" quiz discussion takes a surprisingly contentious turn, we play some of your latest calls! Topics include but are not limited to: Cher, Tori Spelling, the redheaded guy from Workaholics, Comedy Central, Cher, chambray, Fuddrucker's, Skyline Chili, Hatchet, Belk, and how many eye puff tests one person can experience in a day and still live to tell about it. Roll out your sleeping bag, it's the Slumber Party!

One decade's ending and another one's starting: maybe your old aesthetic should end and you should try out a new one? The December 1989/January 1990 double issue has some ideas! What if you dressed like Lucille Ball, or a crow? What if you glued sequins to a t-shirt, or your face? What if you gave yourself dreadlocks??? ...Actually, don't do that one. Elsewhere, readers are calling out fur that turns out to be faux; a feature writer keeps her job thanks to fax machines; and the whole staff is giving you Christmas presents that cost them absolutely nothing and that they didn't even edit. We've got LOTS to say about all of it!

The pop culture topics of the December 1989/January 1990 issue fall into a few clear categories. Want to learn about age-appropriate boys? There are What Now items on Fred Savage and Jared Rushton. Want to get confused by feelings of horniness for unbelievably hot men? There's a shirtless Patrick Swayze and Billy Wirth, the latter apparently One To Watch. Want to be really mean about people who are wealthier and more powerful than you will ever be? There's a swipe at Cher for being old (at 43), and a WHOLE bunch of snark in the results of the entertainment poll -- including the magazine's editors snarking at YOU and your choices! We, however, think you're just great, so listen to what we have to say about all of the above, and more!
