Before Teen Vogue there was Sassy, a late-eighties teen mag about feminism, celebrities and girl culture. What set Sassy apart from other magazines at the time was its honest voice and too-cool attitude - although some say this blase attitude contributed to its demise in 1996. </p> <p><span class="inline left"></span></p> <p>Almost twenty years later, New York writers Kara Jesella and Marisa Meltzer have written a "love letter" to Sassy in their book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Sassy-Changed-My-Life/dp/0571211852/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-6890479-9000137?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1177611224&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">How Sassy Changed My Life: A Love Letter to the Greatest Teen Magazine of All Time</a>, $13. </p> <p>It is a behind-the-scenes look at the magazine's office culture, its coverage of feminism, celebrities and girls' problems. It also highlights struggles with advertisers, publishers, religious conservatives and other detractors. </p> <p>If you missed the Sassy boat or have (foggy) fond memories, this book allows us to see where our rebel sisters and cousins were getting their advice from in the 80s heyday! </p> http://www.fabsugar.com/228868#comment Fab Read Fashion sassy magazine teen Fri, 27 Apr 2007 07:10:22 -0700 FabSugar http://www.fabsugar.com/228868 http://www.fabsugar.com/3903878 <a href="http://www.fabsugar.com/3903878"><img width=160 height=155 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/ons1/192/1922564/32_2009/6af018ed9e98b69c_Fergie-Teen-Choice-Awards.large.jpg'></div></a><p>Fergie showed up on the <a href="http://www.fabsugar.com/tag/2009+Teen+Choice+Awards" >Teen Choice Awards</a> green grass carpet tonight in a super short black Marc Jacobs number with fun multi-colored sequins.
