Listen To Sassy: Life In The 90s

The March 1990 quiz dares readers to "Rate Your Self-Centeredness," and we dropped everything to do a deep analysis on life's main characters: us! In fact, because the voicemailbox was a bit empty this time around -- maybe the heat wave fried your phones? -- that we were able to focus on our responses to the quiz for twice as long as we normally do! Then, we flipped over to your calls on topics including Buns Of Steel, a Sassy cameo in Christmas Vacation, how far back our lives on the internet actually exist, among many other concerns. Take a break from listening to your own inner monologue and listen to us instead!

🎯 The March 1990 quiz: "Rate Your Self-Centeredness"

✍️ Tara's Praise Petey review at Cracked

📜 Pam is going to be on The Scriptnotes podcast

Sassy's second birthday coincides with prom, and this issue is on it, showing you how to get ready (with...a bodybuilding magazine?) and one ad full of Merry Go Round's weirdest dresses. There's also a great spread on Audrey Hepburn as a fashion muse, and a weird spread on environmentally conscious fashion that doesn't quite think things through. We're also learning which natural beauty products passed Sassy editors' testing, what Climax Springs is, and how friggin' many soap stars had their own 900 numbers in this era. Put on your most diaphanous sleeves and get into it!

Are you still calling all guys "Fred"s? Did you hoard your Debbie Gibson autobiography or are you one of the people selling it for three figures on eBay? Can you pick Stephen Baldwin out of a lineup? Did you thrill to Mama, There's A Man In Your Bed? DO YOU THINK THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS ARE GOOD?! ...This is not actually a quiz; we're just letting you know some of the questions you may ask yourself after listening to our March 1990 Pop Culture episode.

Sassy embarks upon its third year with a fun, kicky feature on a girl whose parents committed her to a mental institution for what sure seem like spurious reasons. Christina gets heteronormative about one-night-stands, starting with the assumption that you, a girl, might not want to have one. A list of the 20 coolest women hasn't aged well the whole way through (although "Mom" probably still rocks). All this plus another weird short story, Young MC abandoning his whole ethos to pretend he doesn't use pick-up lines, all the ginseng news you can handle, and much much more!

First off, we take February 1990 "Rate Your Willpower" quiz. If you think you may know what kind of tangents that leads us to, you are almost certainly wrong. Then we play your latest voicemails, in which you tell us about your own experiments with Sassy's beauty hacks, your musings about which kind of medical procedure would be least terrible if interrupted by an earthquake, what it's like to get scammed by a poetry contest, and so much more!

😢 Tara's post on The Conners at Cracked.com

The February 1990 What Now claims to be a "Low-Venom Edition," then lashes out at Combos and Child's Play for no good reason on the very same page, so we're not sure what to believe. (We aren't going to "bail" on it, though we now know that's a slang term we could use if we did!) After we learn about Alyssa Milano's Japanese pop album, illicit Norwegian skateboard imports, and so much more, it's on to Watch It, where Courage Mountain (a Heidi take with Charlie Sheen, of all people) and The War Of The Roses get surprisingly good reviews, and Steel Magnolias gets one that's surprisingly mid?! Neill renews his Australian passport with a rave about Max Q, the self-titled Michael Hutchence side project début; we play you some so that you know Neill is wrong, as usual. One To Watch notches another one for the W column, and then Mike makes up a person who hates rap, gets mad at them, and tries to get them on board by profiling four positive artists. Which one sideswipes Public Enemy? The answer may surprise you! Listen and enjoy!

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!

After the "Rate Your Ho-Ho-Ho-ness" quiz discussion takes a surprisingly contentious turn, we play some of your latest calls! Topics include but are not limited to: Cher, Tori Spelling, the redheaded guy from Workaholics, Comedy Central, Cher, chambray, Fuddrucker's, Skyline Chili, Hatchet, Belk, and how many eye puff tests one person can experience in a day and still live to tell about it. Roll out your sleeping bag, it's the Slumber Party!

One decade's ending and another one's starting: maybe your old aesthetic should end and you should try out a new one? The December 1989/January 1990 double issue has some ideas! What if you dressed like Lucille Ball, or a crow? What if you glued sequins to a t-shirt, or your face? What if you gave yourself dreadlocks??? ...Actually, don't do that one. Elsewhere, readers are calling out fur that turns out to be faux; a feature writer keeps her job thanks to fax machines; and the whole staff is giving you Christmas presents that cost them absolutely nothing and that they didn't even edit. We've got LOTS to say about all of it!
