Sassy

When my brother graduated from Art school one of the guest speakers at the ceremony was one of the creators of Sassy magazine and was incredibly inspiring, giving us insight into the creation of the magazine and its eventual decent into commercialisation which contributed to its downfall.
I'm over the moon that Tavi is introducing a whole new group of people to Sassy magazine and how it empowered a generation of women in the the late 80's early 90's. I still think it's incredibly important to have a magazine that empowers young people to trust in their own ideas and beliefs as well as challenging them, so that they understand why they feel the way they do.
Asking questions and staying firm and resolute with the answers found, regardless of whether they are popular or expected by the wider community.
And in any case anyone who employs Thurston Moore to write an advice column is cool by me.
