To kick off the new year, Sassy wants you to wear pastels, catalog fashions, jean jackets, white t-shirts, and an alice band you made yourself. It also wants you to shave your legs, fix your skin, and buy the right bra. If you're in L.A.? You're doing everything right. As for the Etc., we've got a sneaky claim about mono (but whose?), a whole new computer program to design the magazine in (so many fonts!), and a staff retreat that is something Jane Pratt should put on as a Sassy fantasy camp TODAY. Put on your shorteralls: your latest episode is here!
