June 1990 Teen Life: Cowgirls, Aliens & Crabs
Nov 28, 2023, 10:00 AM
Saddle up and ride with us!
CW: sexual assault. We're cracking open the June 1990 issue and kicking off with a discussion of its Teen Life topics! After racing as fast as possible through "Boys Who Raped," we lighten up with a look at some of Texas's most impressive teen cowgirls, and another Kim banger -- this time on what might make you a bad friend. Sandra Tyler achieves Elizabeth Mosierian heights with her fiction piece, "Visiting My Father." Tooth brushing techniques, cracking knees, an Alien Nation alien, Stuff You Wrote going 5 for 5 with pure gold -- this episode's got it all!
