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!
