    December 1988 Fashion Etc.: Marilyn, Layers & Spa Treatments Oct 19, 2021
    Show notes

    The fashion (etc.) of the December 1988 issue features one spread inspired by the style of Marilyn Monroe, and another that shows you how to layer to stay both cute AND warm! There's also a story that we might say culturally appropriated the Roma people, except (a) that's not the word in the headline and (b) the interpretation is pretty loose. There are also step-by-step instructions on getting ready for a party, editors' reports on various spa treatments, more Christmas stuff in Sassy Club, a bunch of new ads, and more! It's a gift!

    December 1988 Pop Culture: Tom Waits, Jason Bateman & R.E.M.โ€™s Green Oct 12, 2021
    Show notes

    Time to unwrap another holiday-season podcast, this time about the pop culture topics of the December 1988 issue! What Now serves up smog, some Sassy superfan sisters, a book giveaway, what the stars want for the holidays, and "grotty"! Reviews include R.E.M.'s Green (featuring a legendary gaffe by our fearless leader Jane), Mystic Pizza, Clara's Heart, Bon Jovi's New Jersey, and Tom Waits's Big Time, which we talk about...a lot. One To Watch is certified A-lister -- well, okay, B -- Christian Slater! And the feature profiles go deep on R.E.M. -- more Green content -- and a truck-racing Jason Bateman seconds before he gave up the sport forever. Take off your fuzzy earmuffs and listen!

    December 1988 Teen Life: Smoking, Preachers & Persimmons Oct 05, 2021
    Show notes

    It's time for festive fun with the December 1988 issue, and that means...kicking off with a real bummer of a Catherine story about two teen preachers, one of whom should have probably been removed from his father's care. Christina tries to fulfill Jane's request that she figure out what being "in love" actually is, and isn't. Karen brings us what is essentially a holiday "What Now," with gift ideas, recipes, fun facts, and a baffling layout. Karen then tries to convince her readership that smoking is uncool, fighting against decades of pop culture to the contrary. The whole staff pitches in on a holiday-themed short story. And then we're on to the departments! Exercise tights in Body Talk! Going On The Road to Tempe! Highlights from Help and What He Said (about consent)! And another wild installment of Stuff You Wrote! Grab some Oreos -- or don't, if you have political qualms (...you'll see) -- and join us!

    November 1988 Fashion Etc.: Suede, Sunflowers & Scent Sep 21, 2021
    Show notes

    It's hard to know what the editors think their reader is doing in November 1988, based on the issue's fashion and style content. Is she dressing drably for a job? Visiting the Southwest (again) in suede? Attending a formal girls-only party? Maybe all three in succession! At least the hair story suggests pleasantly un-fussy styles...not that you can really see them in the photos. We also learn about the coming sunflower invasion, how to even out your eyelashes, what perfume is, and much much more! Roll your hair up -- or don't -- and join us!

    Show notes

    What Now? Or should we be pronouncing it "What NOW"? An extraordinarily salty Christina fills the two-page spread by denigrating Jane Wiedlin's animal activism, casting doubt on Jason Gedrick's sincerity when speaking about his mental health issues, and saves her last bit of poison for Remote Control's Marisol, who was not even still ON Remote Control at the time! Watch It once again lets Neill half-ass a review (this time for the Sasha Mitchell vehicle Spike Of Bensonhurst) amid more considered critiques of Imagine, Memories Of Me, and more. Listen Up brings us reviews of Cruel Story Of Youth (not the movie), Joan Armatrading, and Kylie Minogue's undeniably derivative self-titled debut. One To Watch breaks its curse by profiling someone who is still an actual A-List star in our day: one Mr. Brad Pitt. And for our features, Christina settles for INXS...........guitarist Kirk Pengilly before sitting down for some unwarranted body talk with Hairspray's Ricki Lake. Join us to hear it all!

    November 1988 Teen Life: Sick Moms, Fighting Sisters & Virgins Sep 07, 2021
    Show notes

    Sassy is, of course, very proud of the work they did in their first few issues -- describing what readers' first sexual experiences might be like, demystifying boys' bodies, profiling out queer couples, and so on. But apparently the hate mail we read in the October issue was just a tiny fraction of what they received, or so we must surmise given November's lead feature: "Virgins Are Cool"! The issue then wends its way through how to land very cool jobs; what life is like for sisters who just cannot get along; a trip to Portland, Maine; and not one but two pieces about living with a mother who is ill. All this and much more: we hope you'll be thankful for our first episode on the November 1988 issue!

    October 1988 Fashion Etc.: Coats, Beats & Hate Mail Aug 24, 2021
    Show notes

    What are you wearing in October 1988? Sassy wants to show you a lot of coats (which look good when accessorized with a boyfriend), a story inspired by the Beats, and jumpers. It also wants you to ruin a sweater with an assload of bells, and stick a bunch of hatpins in the tallest hat you can find. A beauty feature on how to achieve perfect skin proves to be another strangely formative story for two of your co-hosts, though the About Face items that most resonated are just...strange. Then & Now does a glam '40s-style makeover; the ads take us through ABC Daytime stars, the two jobs available to women, and baffling typographical choices. Sassy Club gets spooky for October, Diary highlights Andrea, Say What blows the lid off a plagiarism scandal, and haters get ONE WHOLE PAGE to air their grievances. We hope you won't be similarly aggrieved by our latest podcast!
