September 1991 Special: Dirt Preview Issue

From our current place in world history, we know that Dirt -- the Sassy offshoot targeted at Sassy readers' boyfriends, brothers, and friends from the skate park -- had a brief but interesting run. But in September 1991, Dirt was just a dream that required a preview issue as proof of concept, and it came to Sassy readers along with that month's issue of its parent magazine. Is it obvious that this publication is going anywhere? Find out as we walk you all the way through the whole damn thing, from instructions on how to shower to instructions on how to construct a zip gun!
