This was my first ever magazine as a teen, and my all time favourite. I always regret disposing of it in my 30s for 'practical reasons'... Oh, how I would love to find a copy and flick through each and every page. It was something I enjoyed doing every summer. Thank you for the amazing memory!Bronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548848772343109322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573970259409999850.post-90921590094105914872012-05-26T16:48:52.260+10:002012-05-26T16:48:52.260+10:00Ahh yes, I've heard about Sassy... didn't ...Ahh yes, I've heard about Sassy... didn't they have the famous Kurt + Courtney cover photo?

It never condescended to the reader like most teen mags do today.BTW- if you didn't already know, Dolly from this era was the inspiration behind the groundbreaking(for them) American teen mag 'Sassy', which in turn inspired other magazines like 'Jane'. Even though Sassy wasn't around for long, it still has a cult following and is still admired by the magazine industry...even though '80s Dolly was there first!Eddi Frantznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573970259409999850.post-10447405566904977052012-01-26T12:26:41.529+11:002012-01-26T12:26:41.529+11:00Hmm... that's a good question.

Although even in 1982, they had Brooke Shields on the cover who granted had been a model, but she was also quite famous by that point. So I guess the lines have always been a little blurred, but of course not to the extent that we have now of course.<br /><br />Yes they were so much cuter - I of course totally agree!Maryannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081786301113439231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-573970259409999850.post-12575090702795008122012-01-24T08:33:50.281+11:002012-01-24T08:33:50.281+11:00i can understand why you might stare at the 'd...i can understand why you might stare at the 'dramatic you' one. the model's eyes look great! I also had a question for you: Do you know about which time Dolly stopped putting their own models on the cover and started putting 'stars' and 'celebrities' photos from photoshoots that weren't their own instead, like it is today? I was just curious. Thank you! I have to say I much prefer Dolly of the 80s compared to Dolly today. it seems so much cuter.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612475303957595993noreply@blogger.com
