Listen To Sassy: Life In The 90s

From our current place in world history, we know that Dirt -- the Sassy offshoot targeted at Sassy readers' boyfriends, brothers, and friends from the skate park -- had a brief but interesting run. But in September 1991, Dirt was just a dream that required a preview issue as proof of concept, and it came to Sassy readers along with that month's issue of its parent magazine. Is it obvious that this publication is going anywhere? Find out as we walk you all the way through the whole damn thing, from instructions on how to shower to instructions on how to construct a zip gun!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 staff of Sassy is probably hoping you already finished your back-to-school shopping, because this month's fashion editorials are not their most inspired. You can wear French-y stripes or bone and beige shades straight out of the Spiegel catalogue, or possibly destroy a skirt to make yourself some fringe. If you're feeling bold, you can sneak into a tattoo studio or piercing pagoda. But maybe your style icon is alleged high school cheerleader Icy Blu, whose début album is advertised in this issue? We've got questions about desert boots, cellulite treatments, "Sammies," and so much more: put down your copy of The Vampire Diaries BOOK and listen!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!
