Sassy launched with the March 1988 issue and here we are in 1991, watching our friend turn 3! And if we were reading the issue in order, this would probably be a cool, fun party, but since we’re starting with the Teen Life topics…the first feature is about a rape on campus at the University of Rhode Island that, spoiler, did not have a happy ending for the survivor. After that piece, things lighten up: Jessica revisits her old job as a substitute teacher. Christina collects a (somewhat questionable) list of decent men (and the fact that one of them is fictional and six of them are dead kind of says it all). Two of your co-hosts are divided on the quality of this month’s fiction piece, “Train Date,” while the third mainly just wants to keep playing a clip advertising a mail-order train set. Guess who? The answer won’t surprise you! Body Talk divides a household. Body hair is a confusing Help topic. What He Said star Pauly Shore is somehow still a going concern in our day. And to the Jeannes in our listenership: sorryyyyyyyy. All this and even more awaits you!
