Sassy Magazine was the US version of Dolly, an Australian Teen Magazine. When the company wanted to bring it to the states, the publishing company tested the name. It didn't work. So an editor at another magazine (someone within the publishing group) asked for his teenage daughter's opinion of the magazine. She suggested it be called Sassy instead of Dolly which sounded babyish. The powers at be liked it and I believe she was featured in the debut issue. Someone at bellazon posted some stuff from Sassy Magazine but it was taken down.

here are a bunch of covers

modelknowledge, thanks for the taking initiative to start this Sassy thread!

Print isn't dead but it's getting harder and harder to find quality print magazine's with such forward-thinking vision and liberated, passionate message, especially aimed at the teen market. it's a strange catch-22 that with this print decline, the digital age has also revived and rescued so many wonderful magazine memories, which would otherwise never be so readily available.


Can anyone help ID the cover subjects, at least the ones not clearly spelled out on the cover?
