She looks like she's mackin on a corpse.

OMG this thread!

Harriet the Spy is one of the best novels.

Does anyone like Norma Klein? In my favorite, one girl starts baby sitting for her science teacher, they have an affair & his wife dies. Her friend starts dating a someone from the debate team, and I think she ends up having an abortion.

If the humidity is doing this to MY hair it must be hell for people who actually have wavy/curly hair

I dunno, I like the way my hair gets crazy curly.

welcome TR!!!!!!!!!!

hello TR!

Tomorrow my onerous task is to interview four young, gifted and black supermodels about Michelle Obama. No Naomi, I said 'young'.

omg Norma Klein i loved her books! they were all grown-up 70s-sexy and they seemed super-progressive and kind of unbelievable to me.

i never read sassy but wau @ that cover!

I posted about Sassy upthread! :-) I think it was one with Juliana Hatfield on the cover.

no boys allowed in the room!!!!

:-)

the one w/ Juliana Hatfield had the awesome candy & junk food review.

'fritos smell like dogs'

I subscribed to the Simple Machines' Working Holiday series because it was in mentioned in "What Now" in Sassy.

I tried dyeing my hair with cranberry juice, and it didn't work at all.

Whenever I see Ian Svenonius' name, I will always think of him as the Sassiest Boy in America.

sarahel, I always think the same thing about Ian S.

Thirded. Had to interview an editor from there once on Riot Grrrl in America.

I remember Iggy Pop doing an awesome advice column. It made me wish Iggy Pop was my dad.

Sassy didnt exist in Aus I dont think, but we have Dolly which is possibly a similar thing (aimed at teen girls, lots of sex talk and boys and diet tips and etc)

i subscribed to sassy, and when it folded they replaced my subscription with YM

UGH!!!!!

(^!!!)

lollllll

I remember when that happened! It wasn't good.

I was soooo bummed out when Petersen bought Sassy.

can we talk about TAB

the diet soda in the pink can or an acronym I'm not aware of?

the diet soda in the pink can, but lets come up with an acronym ASAP

TUBULAR AND BABEALICIOUS

Tricky Annoying Bras - I got a couple at H&M that were really cute, but they had this weird latching mechanism that was really annoying to work behind my back.

i had a long convo with a girl on nashville last night about bras, where do yours wear out first? where do you get yours and how much do they cost?, etc while a door guy was visibly annoyed by us. then she said "omg look at that girls butt, it sticks out so far" and he practically jumped a fence to look at it too

anyway she said in re: wearing a bra out that she will pop a strap eventually, every time. this has never happened to me, mine will break, tear or otherwise wear out near the clasp(s) every time. we eventually came to the realization that this is due to how we put them on. she had some weird style of clasping it in the front around her belly, then turning it around and then flipping it up. all i do is put my arms through then clasp it in the back. different strokes!~!!!

this happened to me once, but fairly soon after i bought it. i think it was just a crappily made bra.

the seam holding the underwire in is always the first to go. Sometimes I work the wire back down, and forget that it had a problem until I wear it again ... and I'm sitting at work with the wire poking me for a few hours.

oh man i always have that hapen within two seconds, i dont even count it i guess, haw! i jsut rip the wire out and continue to wear it.

I should do that ... I don't think I'm ... er... big enough for it to be a problem.

did any of you ever "stuff"?

lol

also, speaking of unconventional bra-putting-on methods, my grandmother used to clasp her bra and then STEP INTO IT

she was crazy <3 and R.I.P.

yeah i think this is from improper care but i have had underwires pop out or break a bunch of times. ugh hate that shit.

yeah i once bought all these expensive bras and the shopgirl was like "never put a bra with underwire in the dryer!!!!"

haha, are u kidding me?

i mean i do this all the time

yeah, actually in the past two years or so i have been a lot better about that and only hand washing/hang drying.

but then i feel like the detergent doesn't rinse out well.

never stuffed ... I was the opposite ... I remember being temporarily traumatized when my mom dragged me to the department store to buy bras for the first time, but I was kinda a tomboy and was 8 or 9.

i never needed to stuff, lol

me either lol and besides i wanted no boobs anyway

i was desperate to look like a guy until i was maybe 17. i used to bind myself with an ACE bandage

I used to wear oversized shirts a lot ... but partly because that was the fashion - the big shirt, leggings/tight pants thing. I sucked at pegging pants. My current bf, I learned was a total pro at this.

sometimes i really miss t-shirt clips

i was a little late for pegging pants, but my sister (nije) and brother did it

i wore big shirts and shorts and stuff but it was mostly for sports reasons, on my own time i did wear semi-raver pants, but that was because of.....i have no idea why i wore that. "i love the 90s"

my friend is so nostalgic for the 90s. like she thinks the 90s were a good luck. i am so baffled by this. the 80s were aight. but the 90s were some mess of 80s leftovers + really horrible things.
