  • March 1991 Teen Life: Men, Bread & Trains
    2025/05/06
    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!

  • February 1991 Slumber Party: Highlights, Woody's & Dinks
    2025/04/22
    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. At least some of this will make sense when you listen. So you should!

  • February 1991 Fashion Etc.: Flowers, Hearts & The Candyman
    2025/04/08
    Pam is still out on assignment, so it's just Dave and Tara this week to talk about all the style contained in the February 1991 issue. Dress in florals, or straight out of a mall store! Dye your hair, for a while or forever! Annoy everyone you know by going overboard with a heart motif! DON'T buy the sketchy products advertised at the back of the issue -- let Karen tell you precisely why! And above all, when you're applying mascara, OPEN YOUR MOUTH. All of this and much much more awaits you in our latest episode!
