September 1991 Pop Culture: Brandon, Brenda & The Women Of The Music Industry

The pop culture Sassy covers in the September issue includes some venerable names: Prince, Duran Duran, Violent Femmes. But there are some thrilling new ones, too. All the women who work in the music industry that Christina profiles, getting readers hyped about how to get jobs like theirs. Reese Witherspoon, a mere 14 years old in her breakout movie, The Man In The Moon! All the Commitments from The Commitments! And, probably most importantly, a show whose fortunes Sassy will continue to track until it, amazingly, outlives the magazine: Beverly Hills, 90210. Sure, you've seen their pinup pages in Teen Beat and Bop, but you've never seen them like this: in their underwear, just waiting for you to cut them out along with their clothes and put their paper dolls in situations Darren Star never dreamed of. Fact-checking Christina's blurbs is but one of the many orders of business in our latest episode -- listen!
