March 1991 Fashion Etc.: Prom, Rompers & Cuticles

Start listening

It’s March, and that means it’s time to start morbidly obsessing on prom, up to and including having a dress rehearsal five days out. All the frippery that fills the special pull-out prom insert feels very un-Sassy, so we hope sponsor Tampax at least paid a truckload of money for both that and a half-reassuring, half-fear mongering insert about periods. (No, your tampon can’t get lost inside you…but then again why would they even bring it up unless MAYBE IT COULD?!) Elsewhere, there are tips on nail care, a creative/non-dirty use for an odd sock, photos from Sassy‘s third birthday party, and more! Put on your pastelliest formalwear and listen!
