September 1990 Teen Life: Tricking Boys, Puppy Mills & Painting

May 21, 09:00 AM

Color us ecstatic! (There's paint.)

The first thing you need to know about this episode is that there was an issue with one of the tracks. It doesn't matter who did what: the result is that Dave had to use a backup to the backup, which means this is going to be a more rough-and-ready version of the podcast than you're used to. We're sorry about that, but hey: it'll be all the more enjoyable when the next episode reaches you with its usual level of polish. MOVING ON: the September issue's Teen Life topics include gangs, puppy mills, and a bedroom painting project your parents are probably never going to let you do. Fortunately, we also get a report from Kim about which boy-meeting strategies worked best at a recent party attended by several eligible Sassy staffers. We'll also touch on braces, veins, a conversion to Islam in RECORD speed, which girls are allowed to dress "provocatively," and an annoyingly brief Stuff You Wrote. Grab your Rollerblades (but put on a helmet first) and join us!
