September 1991 Teen Life: Farming, Popularity & Baked Potatoes

August 1991 Slumber Party: This, This & That

August 1991 Pop Culture: Guns 'N Roses, Bulletboys & Paula Abdrool
The August 1991 issue has a few pop culture topics to go deep on. Guns 'N Roses gets covered with a What Now concert review AND a review of Danny Sugerman's very pretentious-sounding book about them…
August 1991 Teen Life: Gladiators, Boyfriends & A Whole Bunch Of Wives
August 1991 is the thickest issue we've had in quite a while, but those extra pages were not set aside for Teen Life topics -- in fact, there isn't even a fiction story! There are, however, Kim's…
July 1991 Slumber Party: Bratmobile, Chaplin & The Deliberate Stranger
We're just back from a nearly two-month break. We took two VERY confrontational quizzes ("Are You A News Moron?" and "Are You An Annoyance?"). We...barely remember how to do this, so please enjoy a…

July 1991 Teen Life: Hamburger U, Girls' Self-Esteem & Things You Can Measure In Pints

June 1991 Pop Culture: River, Noni & Munchkin Cats
Is "rotted" cooler slang than "rotten"? How "monotone" can Beat Happening's lead vocalist actually be? How does Christina rate the relative cuteness of Aleka's Attic, River Phoenix's band? Has the…
June 1991 Teen Life: Chilling Out, Quitting Church & Going To Antarctica
Well, there's no way around it: the very first feature is about Black activism, written by a white author (Kim) who gets no help from her editor on how not to sound tone-deaf as she describes being…
May 1991 Slumber Party: Bores, The Doors & Body Horrors
Sassy's May 1991 quiz dares you to determine whether you're a big fat bore...but it could be that this is a more stressful prospect for a teenager than for a middle-aged person who's come to terms…
May 1991 Fashion Etc.: Outside, Blue & Tutti-Frutti On Your Face
