Thursday night, I had the express pleasure of being stuck on a tarmac at JFK for three hours, and how I wish I had this sassy flight attendant with me in my time of need. Usually my body knows to conk out (or rather do the weird thing where technically you're sleeping but you reap absolutely none of the benefits)…
Rashida Jones posed with her older sister Kidada for the February 1992 issue of Sassy. Wait, is the very first line "Kidada is a homegirl, and way relaxed"?? Amazing. They really do capture what it's like to be teenage sisters — one second you're singing along to Casey Kasem's Top 40 and the next you're cutting up…
i-D magazine is taking a leaf from the pages of Sassy and bringing you the many poses of British it-model Cara Delevingne. The Victoria's Secret Special is now the Sexy Cockroach and the Head Vice is now the Head Clamp, but otherwise, this is Dopey Model Poses: Redux. It's a cute riff on the evergreen idea that is…
The Style Rookie/Daria fan/preteen who is constantly stylin' on everyone took to her blog to announce that she and Jane Pratt, founder of Sassy and Jane magazines, are going to work together to make some Sassy magic for today's teens.
Lucky was once called the successor of Sassy, and now it's being taken over by the former editor of Jane, which was the official successor to Sassy. Will you read? (Or... will you flip through and use those little stickers?)
The new online magazine Hardly aims to be the next Sassy — but can that mag's marked-up Chuck Taylors really be filled?
Teen blogger Tavi Gevinson spoke this morning to a packed room of industry professionals, reporters, and marketers about the "unpredictability" of Generation Y. They wanted to know how the generation's personal qualities would make young people liable to buy things.
The more things change: I know I've seen the "Hip Dysplasia" and the "Dry Shampoo" in Vogue this month. [Threadbared]
Thirteen-year-old Tavi Gevinson of fashion blog The Style Rookie recently posted a plea: "I, like many, would like another Sassy Magazine," she wrote. Tavi was born in 1997; Sassy ceased publication in 1995. So why does it speak to her?
Of course you read Sassy, and now you can still read editor Christina Kelly — on her own blog. She thinks freelancing sucks. Girl, I hear you. [Fallen Princess via Maura]
At a time when magazines are struggling all over, a bit of good news comes to us from Australia, where a new teen magazine, Indigo has found an audience by focusing on real young women.
Do we smell a little competition? Word on the street is that AOL is creating a new "lifestyle site" for women in their 20s and 30s and they're looking for an editor "with a broad range of interests, strong writing voice, at least five years of editing experience and an old box of Sassy mags in her mom's attic,"…
Got a hairy man fetish? You're not alone! Sassy vet Marjorie Ingall goes on for almost 1,300 words about her love for "men with hair. And not just a tasteful little patch, dead-center, either: I like a full-on chestal pelt, hirsute arms, be-furred legs, even a butt rug." (Butt rug is officially my new favorite…
The esteemed writers of the Sassy book have finally eulogized, all gravitas-y and "dying publications are like leaking balloons" and shit, the magazine we once called Jane. Marisa Meltzer and Kara Jesella subscribe, as a lot of Janeeologists have, to the notion that Jane was the casualty of readers' love-hate…
