October 1989 Fashion Etc.: Boots, Model Bones & Snapped Necks

Start listening

While Pam continues globe-trotting, we are joined by guest co-hosts Megan McCafferty and Kim Reed for a discussion of the fashion (etc.) of the October 1989 issue! We’re painting our feet, squinting at boots, sewing crap to the bottom of our blazers…okay, we’re only doing some of that — but we’re talking about all of it. Prepare yourself for a deep dive on the “Welcome To Bedrock” fashion story, which instantly finds itself in the top 5 weirdest in the magazine’s young life. Plus! Ads, letters, desks, the ’20s, and so much more!
