  • October 1990 Fashion Etc.: Twin Peaks, Muscles & Be Fri Necklaces
    2024/08/06
    This month's fashion stories run the gamut more than most issues. Do you want to dress like everyone on Twin Peaks? It's 1990 -- of course you do, and so does everyone else! 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. Snap that Best Friends necklace in half now: you'll want complete silence for our latest episode!

  • October 1990 Teen Life: Driving Lessons, Alcoholism & Croutons
    2024/07/09
    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!

  • September 1990 Pop Culture: Movie Sequels, James Marshall & The Hothouse Flowers
    2024/06/11
    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!

  • September 1990 Teen Life: Tricking Boys, Puppy Mills & Painting
    2024/05/21
    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. Grab your Rollerblades (but put on a helmet first) and join us!
