I remember reading this page over and over again. I just loved it. And I still do!
From Sassy Magazine, September 1992 issue.
Click through the images to enjoy this riot grrrl Sassy article about girl drummers from the February 1992 issue!
From the Sassy Magazine September 1992 issue.
I think this model is absolutely gorgeous. The spread only lists her as ‘Yvonna’.
From the Sassy Magazine January 1994 issue.
From the Sassy Magazine July 1991 issue. Cute then, cute now, huh?
themanisfive asked: You mentioned a Twin Peaks fashion spread. Do you happen to know what issue it was in? I have all the issues from January '89 to the final "real" issue in '94.
First of all, LOVE that you know that it sucked post 1994. I actually have one or two issues in the post-suck years and yeah. The tone is just utterly different.
Second, someone did ask me for an Audrey-Horne-esque fashion spread but I checked all my copies, I must have chucked it out (damn you, past self). I can even see it in my head, they got a model who looked a lot like Sherilyn Fenn…but unfortunately I don’t know the year or month of this spread. My vague guess would be that it would be a fall/winter-ish 1990 issue when the show was very ‘hot’ - OR early 1991.
Sassy Magazine - December 1991 cover
Presenting the May 1994 cover.
Scanned in response to oneverylargeindexcard to prove not every cover had a white/blonde model.
More to come. I have plenty of beauty and fashion spreads from this magazine to demonstrate that it’s at least much more progressive than what teens read and look at today.
oneverylargeindexcard asked: i have another question: were 9/10 cover models white and blonde? i don't remember it being that pervasive, but it clearly was!
No, I’ll show you one right now to prove ye wrong, smarty pantsy
Here’s the April 1994 cover.
You BETCHA I’ll be scanning that ‘how to start a band’ article soon.
oneverylargeindexcard asked: oh my god i'm in heaven. i was of the early 90s phase, and cancelled my subscription within two or three months of that horrible buy-out in 1994 or so. my longest running dream is to find a copy of a story (fiction) that ran in one of the issues. the protagonist was albino, and wore a Mr. Bubble tee in it. do you have it!?!?! LOVE this tumblr <3
I’ll look for your piece of fiction, dearest Tumblrina - you’re the first person to ask for me to look for fiction! Everyone requests the Twin Peaks fashion spread that I definitely do not have. :(
From the Sassy August 1991 issue - yes, it’s Milla Jovovich!
I know I owe you guys a million Sassy Scans. I WILL GET ON IT TODAY.
