Enjoy the new book about the single most important publication in teen girl history. Sassy changed their lives? It changed mine, too. I'm sure I've written about Sassy on here before at some point, so I won't babble for too long. But I was weird in middle school. Sassy taught me that it was cool to be weird. And even if that mentality has bubbled over to unfortunate effect into the totally overwrought hipster scene, it doesn't change the fact that some funky 20-something girls in New York once told me that it was OK to wear Docs or Birkenstocks and listen to Liz Phair and dye your hair with Kool-aid (although they didn't recommend the latter, just for the sticky-and-impractical factor). It's hard to overstate how revolutionary that was for a gawky, dorky 12-year-old girl at a private school in Buffalo. I know many of you can relate.

Wow. I had totally forgotten about Sassy (and Jane! Didn't she have a talk show or something?).

Jane mag just isn't Sassy.

I loved that damn mag.

Jane actually did have a talk show while the magazine was still being published -- I think it was on Lifetime. I never watched it. She isn't actually the editor of Jane magazine anymore (which, I agree, was a pale shadow of Sassy), but is about to have a radio show on Sirius. And it came out a couple of weeks ago that she used to sleep with Drew Barrymore. I like Drew a little bit less for that. (Jane's kind of a hag, and the editorial tone of the magazine was really more the making of Christina Kelly than Jane.)

lemonade and orangeade juice or pineapple and mango cappacino?

So hey maggie. I was at the lbirary today and it must have been hot out but it sounded to me like people were saying somewhat offensive remarks. And I'm not an English major or anything, but I came up with the following list of words which rhyme with the word chose.
