Where to find Sassy Magazine Online

love letter to Gen X

Can’t Hardly Dress is the 90s blog no one asked for.

Because they didn’t have blogs in the 90s. Here we’re obsessed with 90s fashion, music and culture. No one asked for a 90s fashion blog, but here it is! (more here)

Happy February! It’s the third day of #BlackHist

Happy February! It’s the third day of #BlackHistoryMonth, which I am loving. Yours truly is newly obsessed with TikTok, and, wow, the things I have learned in the past three days make me realize how much the primary and secondary school system fails students in the US.

Every post in February will feature Black culture and Black history from the 90s! If you scroll through my feed, you’ll see that I always aim to be inclusive by showing different stories, races, and backgrounds. One of my first blog posts was about how nostalgia needs to be more racially inclusive, so I want to stand in solidarity in celebrating Blackness this month (and every day of every month).

Why is this important? Well, because representation, celebration, and racial equity MATTERS! In politics, in culture, online, on 90s nostalgia accounts, everywhere!

I want to state upfront that while my account affords me some anonymity, I am a 30-something white woman. Black culture is not where I come from, and I am not seeking to appropriate it. Instead, I want to celebrate and share stories. Because 90s nostalgia should include ALL stories, including Black stories and Black culture.

Today we're celebrating Dr. Angela Davis' 77th rev

Today we're celebrating Dr. Angela Davis' 77th revolution around the sun!

I'm currently reading her book, Freedom is a Constant Struggle, which is a collection of essays and conversations on civil rights and prison abolition. Davis has inspired generations of leaders with her work.

While I'm a 90s-focused account, some of my favorite IG nostalgia accounts focus on 70s fashion. I'd love to do more research into what Dr. Davis conveyed with her style and her natural hair in the 70s. She's a true civil rights icon and a fashion icon as well.

Our favorite Gen X big sis aka Sassy Magazine is b

Our favorite Gen X big sis aka Sassy Magazine is back in the news! There was an awesome @nytimes article by @taraariano, who is launching a Sassy-centric podcast next month called @listentosassy. I love Ariano’s recollection of the mag as well as her admission to sniping copies on @ebay.

You all might remember that yours truly got momentarily obsessed with building my own #sassymagazine collection, which now stands at seven issues. However, it looks like the days of getting somewhat affordable copies on eBay have since sailed. Don’t fear! I’m here with info and resources on where you can enjoy Sassy for free! Online! Right now!

My blog has links to great Pinterest boards, read throughs, books and podcasts. Link in bio, natch.

Many just let out a hesitant sigh of relief with t

Many just let out a hesitant sigh of relief with the swearing in of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

I’ve been noticeable absent, because well, trying to create in the middle of an attempted fasicst coup and uprising proved to be challenging. Also, I’m applying to grad school. Now that I’m almost done with applications, I can return to what makes me feel creative!

I want to state something before going further: In 2020, I struggled how to talk about nuanced topics on this blog. A lot of 90s nostalgia is fluffy and fashion-focused. While I loved that, I found it hard to gain my footing in this community. Moving forward, I will be involving more social justice driven topics focused on anti-racism, womanism, feminism and societal reflection.

In today’s blog post I’m talking about fashion from the only inaugural events of the 90s. While Presidents are inaugurated to every term, they only get one formal inaugural event. The second one is just an oath-taking formality. Clinton’s 1993 inaugural events featured Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Fleetwood Mac and more.

Head over to the blog to hear my thoughts on the fashion and history from January 20, 1993.

Sooooo way back in June, which we can now reflect

Sooooo way back in June, which we can now reflect on as "the end of the first phase of quarantine", I bought six issues of #sassymagazine. Why? I don't know why. I spent probably $150 after shipping. I just got it in my head that I needed to win every eBay auction.

I have to say I think I should probably sell these. why did I start collecting them?? I'm a former magazine lover but no longer love magazines. I don't know why I spent so much 😂

I should probably write at least one more post on these before they go back on eBay!

A few months ago, I became fascinated with the lat

A few months ago, I became fascinated with the late Carolyn Bessette–Kennedy. I learned quickly that she hated the paparazzi and the stalking she experienced led to huge amounts of anxiety and depression.

The street style photos we see of her are beautiful her style is timeless. So are the photos. But. What I see when I look at these photos is anguish. Anger. Anxiety. I see a woman who does not want to be photographed.

In today's post on the blog, I'm talking about: Is it ethical to share photos of someone who has passed away, knowing that these photos cause them so much pain?
