Let’s get fashionable, August 1988-style! It’s time to start your back-to-school shopping, and you KNOW that means you’re going to see a fashion story about plaid. Have you also heard about denim? Or sweaters? Because those get a moment in the spotlight too. What Next is also going to tell you what’s hot on the runways of real, grown-up fashion brands, while What Now scales back the difficulty level with a craft involving buttons. (Don’t be scared.) This issue also features the premiere of We Try It, with Sassy staffers raiding the beauty closet and reviewing things like the Conair Fashion Plates iron that can crimp a star into your hair! You’ll also learn about Cheryl in Diary, and about everyone’s jobs in a feature in which all the staffers try subbing in for one another for a day. We discuss all of the above, and so much more — so many new ads!!! — in this week’s podcast!
These times are for the original edit of the episode and may shift due to dynamic ad inserts.
