November 1991 Slumber Party: Black History, Vocal Doppelgängers & Hernias
2026/09/22
Callers are telling us about the advertisers that let them down, where to donate glasses, and much more!
November 1991 Fashion Etc.: Germans, Bras & Park Ave Cologne
2026/09/01
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.

November 1991 Pop Culture: Shemp, Jason Priestley & Special Guest Sarah D. Bunting
2026/08/18
The time has come to discuss cover boy Jason Priestley, then just a few months into Season 2 of Beverly Hills, 90210. And since we have access to an expert — Sarah D. Bunting, Tara’s co-host on the once-upon-a-time Beverly Hills, 90210 podcast Again With This (though we’ve since gone on to run out of those and move on to Melrose Place, Dawson’s Creek, and very soon Felicity) and co-writer of A Very Special 90210 Book. Before we get to Priestley REALLY straining to seem edgier to Christina than his squeaky-clean character Brandon Walsh, there is much to discuss: Gregorian chants, mood rings, Hard Courts, Barton Fink, and much much more. No need to exchange an egg: hop right in!

November 1991 Teen Life: Divorce, Seafood & The Possibility Of A Female President
2026/08/04
The next U.S. presidential election is a year away, so why not start thinking about candidates outside typical power structures — maybe the first female president could be Lynda Barry! Or Queen Latifah! Or Cindy Crawford even! Then again, if this month’s What He Said is anything to go by, the (good) guys Sassy talks to would TOTALLY vote for a woman but don’t think other hypothetical (bad) guys would, so: better put a pin in this for the next 30 to 60 years. The issue also gets into real girls’ stories of their parents’ terrible divorces; how to get into college even if your SAT scores stink; Karen’s recently deceased friend Aaron; and why you should be at least a little scared of eating fish. You don’t need to be scared of our latest episode, though — come on in, the water’s fine!

October 1991 Slumber Party: Relationship Readiness, Sunburn Trauma & Model Privilege
2026/07/21
You might think that the October 1991 quiz, "Are You Relationship-Ready?," would be a cinch for your three married co-hosts, two of whom are married to each other. ...Actually, if you've been listening for a while, you might not think that at all. After sharing our range of results, it's on to your latest calls about everything from how bad Neill sucks to whether Sheila Heti should count her days. Finally, we look back on "Probe," the reader survey from the preview issue of Dirt, and almost make it all the way down the first column of questions! More to come there, but for now, pour something tasty in your color-changing mug and join us!

October 1991 Fashion Etc.: Model Height, Coat Choice & 99¢ Treasures
2026/07/07
The one thing everyone knows about modeling is that they want you to be tall. Nancy Brensson, one of the cover models for December's reader-produced issue, thinks she should still give it a shot at 5'6". How does it go? Spoiler: pretty much how you'd expect. (Sorry!) Height does keep coming up, though, from 5'11" Janet in an all-Sassy fashion/beauty staff editorial spread to a 5'1" Zits And Stuff letter writer/aspiring basketball player who wants to increase her vertical jump. Milla Jovovich presumably feels safe talking shit about Christina since at 5'9" Milla probably towers over her. All that plus coats, lipstick, and what we'd buy from a back-of-the-issue Teen Sale awaits you in our latest episode!

October 1991 Pop Culture: Escalators, Mudhoney & Bulgarian Wedding Music
2026/06/23
After being so excited in the October 1991 Teen Life episode that the Ian Svenonius era was over, HERE HE IS AGAIN in What Now, along with stories on Wig Out, Brad Pitt, and Bulgarian wedding music. Your co-hosts are bitterly divided on the films of Mike Leigh, but come back together on Mary's Danish. Did One To Watch live up to his designation? Was Mike's report on his time as an extra in Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare scooped up after getting cut from Dirt? We discuss this and much more in our latest episode!

October 1991 Teen Life: Best Friendship, Sweat Glands & The Sassiest Boy They Could Find
2026/06/09
Can you maintain a close relationship with your best friends from high school? What's it like to have a port wine birthmark? How many guys say they've been cheated on? And…what's up with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process? One of these things is obviously not like the others, which is why we leave it to you to discover rather than wading into the quagmire ourselves. But! We also tell you about Mike Clark, the adorable new Sassiest Boy In America; an enjoyably offbeat fiction story; and what we think of abbreviating the word "tampons" to just "'pons." Light some incense -- ASSUMING YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY DONE THAT A BUNCH THIS WEEK -- and join us!

September 1991 Slumber Party: School Phobia, Soup & Satisfaction
2026/05/26
Are you school-phobic? Given that most of our listeners who regularly get near a school are probably students' parents or teachers, we...hope not? But we mentally traveled back in time to take Sassy's September 1991 quiz, "Are You School-Phobic?," to rate ourselves from our high school days. Then it's time to listen to your latest calls: you're listening to Good Hang, taking your kids to swim meets, mixing up VERY similar words for VERY different concepts, and so much more! Get into it!

September 1991 Special: Dirt Preview Issue
2026/05/12
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!

September 1991 Fashion Etc.: Beige, Icy Blu & Toilet Breath
2026/04/28
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!

September 1991 Pop Culture: Brandon, Brenda & The Women Of The Music Industry
2026/04/14
The pop culture Sassy covers in the September issue includes some venerable names: Prince, Duran Duran, Violent Femmes. But there are some thrilling new ones, too. All the women who work in the music industry that Christina profiles, getting readers hyped about how to get jobs like theirs. Reese Witherspoon, a mere 14 years old in her breakout movie, The Man In The Moon! All the Commitments from The Commitments! And, probably most importantly, a show whose fortunes Sassy will continue to track until it, amazingly, outlives the magazine: Beverly Hills, 90210. Sure, you've seen their pinup pages in Teen Beat and Bop, but you've never seen them like this: in their underwear, just waiting for you to cut them out along with their clothes and put their paper dolls in situations Darren Star never dreamed of. Fact-checking Christina's blurbs is but one of the many orders of business in our latest episode -- listen!

September 1991 Teen Life: Farming, Popularity & Baked Potatoes
2026/03/31
Tara needs to thank the scissor-happy Sassy reader who sold her the podcast's original copy of the September 1991 issue, because if not for the missing pages (full and partial), we would never have had to acquire another copy of the same issue and find out there were TWO VERSIONS of the cover -- one lipsticked and glossy, one nude-lipped and matte! Stand by as Pam uses her angles to try to get the inside story. While you wait, we can tell you about the issue's Teen Life topics. Karen does a shoddy job trying to make us take up for the beleaguered American farmer. Kim tries to make us chill out about the popular kids. Boys are crying and REALLY defensive about it. And much more! Get into it!

How health-conscious are we, according to Sassy's August 1991 quiz? Quite, as long as you have no follow-up questions! After sharing our results (and complaints) about that, it's on to your calls on subjects including (but not limited to) Nad's, dry brushing, Little House On The Prairie, Hypercolor t-shirts, Gantt charts, Kevin Coogan -- and, of course, Christmas piles, because 'tis always the season. Grab some vegetables or some weed (or both!) and snuggle into your sleeping bag with us.

2026/03/03
We know this issue landed in mid- to late July, but can it ever be too early to start thinking about your back-to-school wardrobe? Sassy invites you to imagine yourself as a Coco Chanel knockoff, an intimidatingly cool biker chick, or a face and a couple of limbs with monochromatic garments laid on top of you. (It'll make sense when you see it.) You can also learn about eye makeup, hair brushes, kilts, and what kind of time Jane had co-starring in R.E.M.'s "Shiny Happy People" video...but wouldn't you rather talk about all the new ADS that helped make this issue the fattest we've seen in months? We sure would! Get out two to four pairs of jeans and listen to our latest episode!
